There needs to be a permanent option to not use its "AI" function at all but for now if you put -ai after your search string it hides the AI results.

Yep. It was his costume from STV as well... But I don't want to detract from the original topic. I might talk about it separately on my own post.

Thanks. If i ever get to the US again for a con I'll let you know and dig out my Scotty uniform from storage.

I should say I don't cosplay myself any longer due to trouble I had being mocked about my weight. It happened too many times so I stopped. So feel free to ignore my opinion. 🖖 It ss a very important topic and needs talking about.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
... long as appropriating hairstyles or anything else from other cultures. As I see it, there are so many characters in Trek that people should be able to cosplay as someone it should not be necessary.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok, I've seen your responses to others and I think I know what you are asking. If I attend a convention and I see a white person in a red skant that has lieutenant stripes. I'm not going to automatically think Uhura. If they tell me that's what they are attempting then that's down to them as....
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Forgive me I'm not understanding what you are asking. My fault soory.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
It would be weird. It's not Uhura, it's just a white person in a red skant- Janice Rand maybe or just another crewperson. It's like a bald, white dude trying to cosplay Ben Sisko- nope, sorry dude, you're Picard.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeh I mean what showrunner in their right mind would let that happen?! 😜

I'm the opposite. I quite enjoyed it. He is the one person in her whole life who can break down her barriers and she knows it. He is not your typical Vulcan but I think he suits her. She becomes the giggling young woman when around him but importantly she is still in charge of the outcomes.

Michael Burnham was a patsy. They needed someone to blame for starting the war and she was it. Yes, she tried to start a mutiny and that was just enough to blame it all on her. #Justice4Burnham

John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
That has been a running theme throughout Trek since the very start. Full Vulcans have always mocked Spock for being half-Human one way or another. This is no different.

Showmasters have got better over the years. I've been going to their events since LFCC2. Yes, there have been problems in the past and they were slow to address them but they have learned a lot and are improving. Also, Starfury Warp 1 is looking to be good!

Agreed. I get the feeling that some people just like to trash things. If they don't like it that's fine, but the comments I see are just plain nasty. Maybe it's an age thing. I don't know.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
I remember the novels well. Section 31 IS out of place for Trip, no doubt. In my head they faked his death or used some alien device as a means of persuading him but in the end after one mission he told them where to go!
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
I like to think that it was Section 31 recruiting him for a mission and faking his death. Any historical document would have it that Trip died and that's why we got that holodeck version.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
them how much it takes for a Vulcan to maintain control. I wonder if this will have repercussions later as it is dangerously close to permanent genetic enhancement and we all know how Starfleet feels about that! One major issue is the editing- it was too "bitty" for me and jumped around too much.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm glad that they clarified the fact that they used Spock, a fully-grown, trained (half) Vulcan as a basis for the serum but that logic and control does not come through a serum but through training as shown by the fact that parts of their human personality began to take over thus showing.... 2/3
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social)
Well, this will probably not be a popular opinion but I enjoyed 'Four and a Half Vulcans'. It was nowhere near perfect and the script could do with a bit of polishing but it was fun. Seeing the characters learn what Spock's life is like as a half-Vulcan was interesting to say the least. 1/3

Gravy or Curry Sauce on chips is a yes for me. Leftover Yorkshire Pudding is great with Jam. Plymouth Argyle are the best professional football team 😜 What have I missed? Oh yes, Jam on first, then cream on scones. (Yes, I know its the Cornish way).

No Zathras either! Thinking about it I would need 3 Sinclairs. One in the Earthforce uniform, one as Ranger One and then one as Valen. I'd also want Morden plus one that is Morden's head on a spike.

True, but then don't get pissed at fans who politely ask about an update.

I have this great little app that helps identify colours. Problem is with lighting. I point at one area on the shirt and it gives me one shade of green. I point at another and I get a different shade!
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
LOL, I have been waiting for this exact question!! I am really badly colour blind so I simply searched plain green tee. When I get it printed though it should be the correct green. 😁

Some of you may remember a video I created about 18 months ago where I used the theme music from M*A*S*H and footage from SNW to make M*B*E*N*G*A. Well, Babs will be at Warp 1 con in October. I'm thinking of getting this tee-shirt printed. What do you think, with or without the Caduceus on sleeves?
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
That's exactly how I feel. I've loved every episode!
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Really? I enjoyed it- yes, it was very different but again its down to personal taste.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social)
One thing I love about Trek is that there is something for everyone. You don't like one iteration? Cool, here are another load to choose from! It's ok to like stuff that others don't and vice versa. No one should be treated differently because of what they enjoy or not.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
How?
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
I was reminded of this episode as well as the Stargate SG-1 episodes which both involve a similar story. B5 as well I think. Personally, I really enjoyed it!

Yep they could but there will be another subset of fans complaining that they have introduced a new major race that wasn't seen in TOS. A no-win scenario....
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
I'd love to see more of Lashanna in the 007 role. That way the "James Bond" legacy is intact but the 007 name lives on. Personally, I'd leave him dead as it solves a lot of issues!
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Another idea was to open it up to any male/male presenting actor as long as James stays British The last option I saw is to leave James Bond dead as he died in the last movie and press on with the 007 title who was played by Lashanna Lynch... 2/3
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
I have seen lots of ideas- the purists, especially the book purists, will always want a white, British actor or someone like George Lazenby who, though not British, could pull it off. That is no longer representative of the UK .... 1/3
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
They remind me of one race- Humans. Us right now. Aggressive governments pushing their borders forward with a high body count. Not willing to budge. That's the thing with Trek- everything is open to personal interpretation and civilised discussion.
John (@nottinghillnerd.bsky.social) reply parent
Interesting as I interpret it differently. The Gorn in SNW are all about protecting their space but also seem intent on expanding their space as well as their race. They don't seem open to communication though they are quite clearly able as they messaged Starfleet.....
