Can I just say I really love how colorful the Star Trek Beyond posters are? And I love that they pay homage to the original movie posters? I feel like it was a visual cue that they were trying to return to the movies’ original campy feel and I think this movie was a lot closer to it’s roots than the other two by far, and this movie just completely felt different than the first two. It triggered a much larger nostalgia reaction this time around and while it was still action packed, it just felt like one of the original movies and aaah I just loved this one so much. It’s easily my favorite of the reboots.
Beautiful, Iconic Lines from Star Trek Beyond

you can do it in order (so TOS, the TOS movies, tng, ds9, voyager, enterprise)
but like,, you dont need to see any of that to see the reboots.
TOS is on netflix, along with the animated series. TOS is only 3 seasons and its a good place to start. i dont think any of the reboots are on netflix *cough cough* putlocker *cough* but anything with kirk is a good starting place. then i’d recommend tng after that, and then voyager.
Fuck now I almost don’t want to see the next Star Trek movie that comes out because it’s back to JJ Abrams writing and god fucking dammit. God dammit he’s going to ruin everything. Beyond was so nice and generous it gave us a bad ass NON SEXUALIZED female main character. It gave us a gay poc family where NO ONE WAS DEAD. It gave adequate screen time for all of the characters where they had their own side stories that tied together (Karl Urban almost didn’t come back for this movie because he was tired of it just being about Kirk and Spock!) It gave us a MUCH more in character Kirk where he cares about and loves his crew and treats them like family - unlike Abrams’ Kirk in the first two movies. It gave us colorful hopefulness and a sense of family and I’m fucking. JJ is going to ruin it. He’s going to kill someone off or reduce Jaylah to someone’s feeble girlfriend or give her completely unnecessary nude scenes and. Fuck. Simon please don’t let him ruin everything that Beyond created. I’m so tired of him. I’m so fucking tired of JJ Abrams. I’m so fucking tired of lens flares.

Observational Astronomy program. You use it to de-noise, subtract dark frames, subtract bias frames, and subtract flat frames. Then you stack those 3 together and overlay it onto your science images to get a clear picture with all the noise taken out. You can also use it for coloring and stacking frames for a full color picture.
It’s basically rudimentary photoshop with more coding and built specifically for astronomers

“where did this weird trope even come from?”
well, statistically speaking, probably star trek
Star Trek was the first kind of “fandom” I was ever in. My dad was a huge star trek fan, and I remember the show being on in the background throughout my early childhood. When the Star Trek reboot came out in 2009, my father and I were first in line. I think that’s what did it. Throughout that summer and into my 7th grade year, I was obsessed with Star Trek. Not just the reboot, but TOS as well. Even though, through the years I’d moved on to other things, Star Trek was always the first thing. It was the first fanfic I read, the first fan art I made, the whole 9. I think that’s probably why hearing about Leonard Nimoy hit so hard. It was the first thing I truly threw myself into, and started me down the “nerd path” that I’ve been on ever since.
i’ve definitely told you about this before but my dad and my uncle have this whole star wars vs star trek rivalry where they’ll get each other passive aggressive gifts (my dad is a star wars fan, and will always get my uncle star wars merch. my uncle claims star trek is so much better and star wars is lame. he will always get my father star trek merch. this has been going on since my parents got married.)
this is going to be a good year for arguing
my uncle just arrived. my mom shouted “kids, uncle rich is here!” my dad bellowed “MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU” down the stairs. my uncle shouted back “YOU CANT SEE IT BUT IM GIVING YOUR DOG THE VULCAN SALUTE” i love christmas here
dinner was alright until over dessert my dad brought up “so, richie, you see the new star wars movie” until it devolved into a wine fueled shouting match. highlights include “WELL AT LEAST WE DIDNT HAVE JAR JAR GODDAMNED BINKS” “AT LEAST WE DIDNT BLOW UP–” “YES YOU DID. FIRST MOVIE. YOU BLEW UP A PLANET” “shit”
