  • Apple popularised two things that bug the shit out of me in addition to everything you said. “on iPhone” “on iPad” just sounds utterly wrong. It needs to be “on the iPhone” “on the iPad”. Now everyone is doing it.

    The other is " breathlessly we’re excited to announce/we’re excited to share with you/we’re excited!!!big fucking cheesy grin". The whole point of having that whole “excited” or whichever adjective you want at that point of the sentence is to prep you and let you know what you’re supposed to feel. If it’s that good surely you shouldn’t have to tell me what I need to feel.





  • Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I’d like more Trek out beyond the current lore, it’s own thing that is in the same universe but not directly tied to anything we’ve got. Star Trek is running into that Skywalker’s everywhere issue that Star Wars has.

    The best idea I’ve seen so far (IMHO) steals from Stargate by sending a ship via a transwarp one way-esque jump to another galaxy. That lets you star fresh but still dip into the existing lore if/when. Then as the series goes on slowly but surely Starfleet gets more of a foothold, builds a star base/outpost, transwarp link-thing, you get more ships, more people, more spinoffs etc.

    Struck me as a “clean” start of sorts.
