Anika does 133 jumps while Liz infiltrates a Klingon ship. What could go wrong? Well, this episode is late, so…
Yes, we are discussing season 1, episode 9 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Into the Forest I Go”. A nice walk in the woods! Everyone comes home!
Do all Starfleet captains disobey orders? Actually yes! Despite the stereotypes, the biggest exception is Kirk in TOS … and Liz has a theory about why that changed
“This conversation reminds me of a Tumblr post that mildly irritated me two weeks ago…”
“You can’t say anything against my baby Ash, okay? He’s my baby girl.”
We have some digressions and thoughts on the state of fandom and franchise media in the year 2026
Anika’s Wonderland Corner: Cornwell, Ash and L’Rell as Knight, Death and the Devil
Anyway, my theory is that TOS was mostly written by white men who had served in WW2 and still believed in American institutions (see also: the generally ambiguous attitude towards the Vietnam War), whereas the movies and everything that followed post-dated Watergate. And that's why Kirk in TOS is the Star Trek captain who works hardest to follow orders to the letter wherever possible.
the idea of pointing out avery brooks "overacting" while apparently not noticing he's doing the same exact thing as kirk or picard - (literally just theatre acting) reminds me of the people who made a big deal out of michael burnham "crying all the time". when she literally doesn't that much, it's never for no reason, other trek characters cried before too and also weird to find it annoying in the first place. also i know what you are
*brought onto from goo's anon but i've seen this take before and often so it's not About that anon per se

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.
We are also not applying "Catholic guilt" to Jewish characters. They have their own type of guilt, which is similar in many ways but has better food.
I'm making a list of protagonists of Disney kids' shows that are into child murder
Right now I've got Anakin Skywalker and Tinkerbell
The similarities are undeniable
We now turn to @pixiedane for comment.
Nahla Ake + that one outfit
"I'm gonna get a traumatised young person out of prison," Nahla thinks as she goes through her wardrobe. "He has good reason to mistrust me. Even hate me. What do I wear? Ah yes, the leather jacket, leather pants and half-gloves of the Section 31 Collection. Perfect."
There are few delights in the world like having a friend start to read Jane Eyre for the first time and then as they are commenting on it you slowly realize that they don't know. They don't know Rochester's deal.
This is like the literary equivalent of meeting someone who doesn't know Darth Vader is Luke's father.
So they go "I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with this relationship! Yeah he's older and there is a class/power difference but he clearly respects her as a person and it's so refreshing!" and you just cackle, cackle, cackle behind your screen until the inevitable day you get this message.
Everyone congratulate my friend @anonymoustypewriter, they just found out one of literature's biggest 100+ year old shock twists authentically without anyone spoiling it for them.
I'm rereading Jane Eyre right now, and got to That Bit yesterday, and for a moment I remembered being 12 years old, reading this for the first time and throwing the book across the room, Jane Austen did NOT prepare me for this!
there is not a unit of time currently in existence small enough that it could accurately measure just how fast archer would kill tuvix
Yeah, and I want to be clear here, Janeway has some legs to stand on. I vehemently disagree with her decision but I understand why she made it and can see her humanity in it. Archer would just be like "No, fuck that guy."
There is a whole episode of Enterprise where Archer creates a Tuvix (okay, a clone of Trip that's allowed to grow to adulthood so they can harvest his organs for Real Trip) and then kills him. He is literally the villain in a Lois McMaster Bujold novel. He doesn't get a fraction as much criticism for this as Janeway for Tuvix.

Anika and Liz don their finest 2017/2257 outfits and go to a party.
Then they do it all over again.
Then they do it all over again.
Yes, we are caught a time loop and discussing Star Trek: Discovery‘s “Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad”!
“This, to me, is like if Strange New Worlds was good.”
Is this Anika’s least favourite episode of Discovery?
Ash is happier and more successful as a human being than he was as a Klingon
Making Harry Mudd spend time with his wife is not a good or suitable punishment for his crimes? It is highkey misogynistic? Do better, show!
Liz is here to pitch Star Trek: Stella, where Meg Stalter plays Stella Mudd as she roams the galaxy being a sociopathic nepo baby with an amazing wardrobe, who disintegrates people
Me yesterday: DMing @pixiedane yesterday with the draft of the Insta meme because I couldn't tell anymore whether it was funny
Me now: no, that is legit hilarious
I started watching star trek cause my mum was watching star fleet: academy in the lounge room and I was just kinda there and eventually got invested at like episode 2 and kept asking questions.
I made her rewatch that with me and then we moved from star fleet to discovery which answered so many questions I had abt wtf the burn was and then I finished discovery and went onto the aos movies and they were awesome and now I'm watching tos and making my way through it
My journey has been 50% confusion, 30% holy shit that's awesome and 20% omg gay people yay
I still have not watched the first episode of star fleet academy
One of us! One of us! One of us!
Welcome to the original automated gay space communists. We have snacks but they're replicated and not as good as homemade (except when Sisko's in town).
I am so excited at all the ways new fans find their way here!
Anika and Liz take off for a cheeky little diplomatic meeting with some Klingons. What could go wrong?
We are discussing Star Trek: Discovery‘s “Lethe”, an episode which inspired our friendship, a whole lot of fic and a conversation about whether it is a flawless piece of Star Trek, or if it has merely a single flaw.
We are not here to be cool or reasonable about Admiral Kat
Normal Human Guy Ash Tyler and Normal Federation Captain Lorca
At any time, it is reasonable to assume that Sarek is disappointed in at least one of his children
Ash Tyler could never appear in SNW because his whole existence is a rebuke to that series’ biological determinism
Anika’s Wonderland Corner: the Vulcans at Michael’s graduation are dressed as chess pieces (Michael, like L’Rell, is a white pawn)
We have. A lot. Of feelings. About Katrina Cornwell
I wrote 14,000 words of fic in two weeks after this ep dropped, and here's a nice chat where I try to be normal about that.
The other thing that I find with the Maquis is that I think the writers were leaning very hard on the historical oppression of Native Americans to make them seem sympathetic at all. Like the first time we learn anything about the situation in the Demilitarized Zone, it's in the context of a planet settled by Indigenous Americans whom Picard has been ordered to relocate, thus automatically articulating their struggle to the Trail of Tears and other real-life episodes of genocidal colonialism.
But like...the thing about the settlers on Dorvan V is that they're settlers (i.e., textually not indigenous). They're indigenous in an ethnic American sense only. And, what's more, the text of the episode is that they settled only recently, like 20 years ago (within the lifetimes of most people living on Dorvan), and against the advice of the Federation government, who told them that it was disputed territory with the Cardassians. Moreover, they're not really living under an expropriative capitalist and racist regime like the USA or the British Empire, but under what is, textually, a generally egalitarian post-scarcity society that is entirely willing to let them settle on another perfectly good planet somewhere else. So while the subtext of the episode may be that they're indigenous peoples being relocated by a remote and indifferent government, the literal text of the episode is that they're settler colonialists who are upset that their central government is unwilling to press a war against a rival power so that they're not temporarily inconvenienced. And okay; this is one of the few times that Star Trek acknowledges that how humans react to situations will continue to be informed by history even in the future, and i can definitely see how a people who have centuries of experience being lied to and exploited by various governments would be inclined to tell the Federation to go to hell when they say they have to move again, but this is (a) an extremely contrived situation (and don't even get me started on the Jamake Highwater "we must live here because this planet is sacred to us" bullshit) and (b) doesn't textually apply to any of the other planets in the DMZ.
Anyway, to me, the Maquis seem more like American settlers whining about being denied the right settle beyond the Appalachian Mountains by the Royal Proclamation of 1763 than they do like indigenous land protectors. I find them unsympathetic.
Last year I saw an Israeli critic compare the Maquis to West Bank settlers, and honestly Bluesky is still not coping with that, but I think she was onto something.
my sons ranked from most to least hard to love

been reposting my tumblr posts on bluesky. don't tell those chumps i'm feeding them my leftovers lmao
Sometimes I do a Bluesky post and it doesn't do numbers, and I'm like, "Ah yes, wrong audience" and post it here. And vice versa.
I do not apologise to the people who follow me in both places. You signed up for this.
We’ve caught up to this episode in the retrospective so here’s my receipts from eight years back.
I'm pretty sure this was the post that made me go, "You know, I've been seeing @pixiedane's Good Posts around these parts for years, I need to actually follow her."
