    It’s half the reason everyone treats Janeway as a criminal. Like yeah overall she’s a fantastic captain. But she did straight up murder tuvix! He begged for life!

    If it’s any help, that show is a hot mess. There are some absolute banger eps, I absolutely love most of the cast, but on average it’s underwhelming.

    The guy who made BSG ranted a bit about working on Voyager. Apparently they weren’t allowed to change anything. Everything had to reset by the end of the episode. In a series about being stranded.




  • OG star Trek is a product of it’s time. While revolutionary and a great source of solid sci Fi, it’s also got the old tv style to it. Extremely long pauses, close ups forever, agonizingly long just to get out one line then repeat.

    Would recommend… After you’ve watched a more modern star Trek :)

    TNG is a favorite for a good reason. Maybe from season 3 on to start. It’s also going to seem extremely slow / no music compared to modern TV. But it’s overall quality shit.












  • It is better than turf, but I’m not talking about grass lawns, I’m talking about plants like for a garden. It’s better to have more garden plant masses, less grass lawn.

    Most people don’t need as much lawn as they have and reducing down to more what you actually use is great, but it’s totally situational.

    If you wanted a NorthEast suggestion for general ground cover I’d say wild strawberry. But if it’s like … Lawn then just stick with what you’re doing.

    Unfortunately, naturalized plants are not good. It’s a scale, with invasive plants being extremely bad. Naturalized plants aren’t as bad. But still bad

    In the end, our native insects rely on native plants (with extremely few exceptions to not be distracted by). A native plant can support hundreds or even thousands of species.

    A non native / naturalized plants cannot support even a fraction of that. They can also support… Non native insects. Which in turn fuck up the ecosystem, either by displacement or direct damage.

    I’m not gonna tell you to rip out naturalized plants like clover. I’m not gonna say you should destroy your garden. You should just know that native plants are superior in literally every possible way, and your NEXT plant choices should be as native as you can get :)
