New Star Trek is just throwing darts at a board choosing what stuff to recreate and what to entirely ignore. Yeah they’ll copy a random shot from a random episode as an homage perfectly but god forbid they make the makeup any way consistent

OK, it’s not 100% canon. But it’s far from it being non canon as well. It’s semi canon, or as I like to call it ‘canon adjacent’

Gamma Canon

hearing the music in alien languages on star trek is so deeply troubling. i want to learn them and the languages they’re singing them in but 😭🤚

Oof yeah lol…I literally learned like a big chunk of Klingon language so I could sing that awesome song everyone sings on Martok’s ship (it’s just called the Klingon warrior’s anthem which is boring as all fuck but the song itself slaps)

And even if it’s not in an alien language, the songs just. Ugh I want MORE

Like Falor’s Journey absolutely haunts me it’s so pretty but we only got one verse

And then if it is in an alien language that isn’t like. A whole conlang like tlhIngan Hol/Klingon, it haunts me even more bc I want there to be a whole language I can dig into I want it so much

Anyways I will say: people always talk about how conlangs are a waste of time or whatever but?? If you want to learn a song in one or even try and become fluent for fun?? I really don’t see the problem

Star Trek fans with quadrotriticale🤝Doctor Who fans🤝priding ourselves for no reason on our ability to pronounce bullshit scifi words

Idk shit about doctor who but seriously quadrotriticale is so ridiculously hard to say

Like this could just be me and my constant tripping over words/mild stutter but it took me like 10 tries to be able to say it

Doctor Who has… hold on I’ll go look it up

It’s a planet. There might also we other ridiculous names but that’s the one I thought of.

(Besides, everyone knows what Star Trek is really about: taking experimental technology whose first successful proof of concept under carefully controlled laboratory conditions was carried out that morning and implementing it on the flagship of your fleet, because workplace safety protocols are for weenies.)

#star trek#this is a serious post#the question isn’t which episode i’m describing here#the question is HOW MANY episodes i’m describing here

ALL OF THEM.

So Star Trek has all these alternate Earths, but with gangsters, or Nazis, or 1960’s Romans, etc., but what about the alternate Vulcan? Alternate Qo'nos? Alternate Bajor? I want my gangster Vulcan planet, darn it.
