Oh cool, ty! I was wondering.

Yeah, honestly so much is lost with the shorter seasons. And wrt LD in particular, I get that filming 28 episodes a year was hell on the actors/production, but surely doing VA is less time consuming than live action acting?

Omg yes! That scene was so good. I feel like Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis would have enjoyed it most of all lol.

These episodes were both great. I have shipped Mariner/Ransom since s1 and, well, honestly, this new dynamic of theirs probably makes it even less likely than it ever was lol. But they were fun episodes. I do wish Lower Decks had more episodes, since they're only 20 min/ea.

Oh thank you, that makes sense.

I love this moment in LD, but also I am not sure when it was meant to have happened. Were Kirk and Spock friends prior to being officers on a capital ship? Or was it meant to be that they were invited to the other party but left because it was boring?

Hooray, thank you! Fwiw, it is the donations model that is most common in FOSS projects (pay what/if you can) and I think it engenders a better sense of community, and I certainly feel more inclined to pay for something just so support it rather than because of any particular "perks" I might get, which are geeeenerally not really worth the money per se. I also would prefer your time to be spent on the actual server and not on having to integrate the various perks/linking accounts to patreon/etc etc.

Fwiw, I am very happy to support the patreon but I don't feel great about it being attached to server perks. For some people $4/mo is nothing at all and for others it is genuinely significant. I don't want the Star Trek instance of all instances to be rewarding those who can afford to contribute financially.
