Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how's it going?

No one is saying anything in the korero this week? I was hoping to hear about your weekends, everyone!

I had a really weird/bad virus recently, turns out apparently it's going around the rohe's children. It mustn't have got the memo that I'm a grown up!

In garden news I only have 3 caterpillars but they are enjoying it, feijoas are crazy, there is an incursion of Morning Glory.

I'm in New Plymouth for the second week of the school holidays. And haven't done much. I spent about 16 of the last 24 hours sleeping as I've got some sort of cold. I wonder if it's the same thing.

I've spent most of the 8 waking hours watching Star Trek Lower Decks. I've heard people talking about it on Lemmy, and have now watched the whole first season. I'm not really sure what I was expecting, because normally (at least in my experience) Star Trek takes Star Trek seriously, and if you want a non-serious Star Trek then you watch The Orville instead. But Lower Decks doesn't take Star Trek seriously at all, and I've been enjoying it 🙂

That reminds me, I still need to watch Lower Decks. And Strange New Worlds. And Prodigy. Not sure which series I should start with...

[–] Dave 3 points 7 months ago

Depends what you're looking for! Strange New Worlds is a more classic Star Trek experience, generally a story per episode like the old days.I'm not up to date on it though, I think I've only seen the first season.

Lower Decks is almost satirical, making fun of Star Trek in a lot of ways.

I hadn't heard of Prodigy, sounds like it might be a Star Trek version of The Clone Wars series?
