“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone 

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

Pretty much.

here have some size comparison

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun (to be clear the monkey is Solo)

This is the analysis I am here for

Dr. Leonard Bones McCoy portrayed by DEFOREST KELLEY in Star Trek: The Immunity Syndrome (1968) KARL URBAN in Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013)

God, I love how you'll watch one episode of Star Trek and it'll be like the most existential, thought-provoking allegory on like religious fanaticism and genocide, and then the next episode is like "ahhhhh, space bees!"

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS (2022-)

SEASON 1 — Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I'm really hoping that there's not too much focus on Spock/Chapel in season two bc one, I hate love triangles and two, I'm simply just not a fan of their relationship in a romantic sense

I'm thinking about Captain Pike and Spock getting trapped together somewhere. about Spock being hurt and Pike doing his best to keep him stable, to keep him awake and just- with him. and I'm thinking about Spock trying to be logical and trying to say goodbye, and Pike refusing to hear it. about him knowing, repeating in his head on a loop that Spock can't die, he's meant for greater things, that this isn't how his life ends, and how that gets harder to remember the more Spock struggles to stay awake. how it doesn't stop the panic from setting in when Spock finally falls unconscious on him.

I'm thinking about how when the crew are finally able to beam them back on board, it's to Pike holding onto Spock tightly, begging him to wake up.

The big discourse on twitter right now is that writers going on strike or cancelling their own series are breaking an invisible “contract” they made with their fans and all creators owe their fans a satisfying conclusion to their stories. Actually all fans owe all creators for entertaining them and if a creator says “I don’t want to perform this labor anymore,” then regardless of the cliffhanger that leaves you with, your only response should be “take care! Thank you for all your hard work!!!” :)
