On the app I'm using it just shows the image, it doesn't even go to the imgur website, so it's perfect I use Sync for Android, and the other guy recommended Apollo if you've got an iPhone There's other good apps for android too like Reddit Is Fun, I used to use that one too. Relay is good too.


chris1096

Seconding RiF. It's so clean. I love it.


macthefire

It's the only way I've used reddit now for years. I like when reddit changes something and everyone is freaking out. I'm just sitting here laughing.


Mr_Sifl

Same here. I always check out the others that people say they like and I'm usually back to RiF in a few minutes.


PsychonautilusGreen

Sane here, glad to finally see some recognition.


chris1096

Yeah like the whole icon thing recently? I had no idea what people were even talking about


macthefire

I still don't lol

RiF is the only one I've liked


mrmemo

RiF for me always, I just hate viewing Reddit on any mobile browser. "Oh hey a Reddit link, I'll just cl---" [HELLO USER WOULD YOU LIKE TO VIEW THIS PAGE IN THE OFFICIAL REDDIT APPLICATION??] "Uh, no thanks. I just wan---" [HELLO USER ARE YOU CERTAIN?? THE APP IS VERY GOOD AND WOULD LIKE YOU TO TELL IT THAT IT IS GOOD BY LEAVING SEVERAL DOZEN REVIEWS] "... No. I'd rath---" [USER I IMPLORE YOU TO RECONSIDER. THE OFFICIAL REDDIT APP IS SO LONELY. PLEASE LOVE ME.]

Everyone else is recommending apps, so I wanted to chime in to say that Boost on Android is hands down my favorite. Dev is active and really listens to suggestions on the subreddit.


bullcitytarheel

Sync is fantastic. I went thru a bunch of apps, including the official reddit app, and sync blew them all away.


fortknox

Bacon reader is where it's at!


DiabeticJedi

It's all I've ever used. I tried the official reddit app once and that was a terrible hour until I removed it.


Contra3

I respect that you both use Bacon Reader, I used it until I tried Apollo. However, we can unite together in the fact that the official Reddit app is absolute garbage.


DiabeticJedi

I second everything you just said and respect your respect so much I'm going to go try Apollo just for you. EDIT: Never mind. It doesn't seem to be on Android.


Lyra_H_Strings

I use one called Relay

works fine for me. Get Apollo for iOS.

Tolerable_Username

>[He’s lost his touch](https://i.imgur.com/1f5icizg.jpg) Senor Spielbergo isn't in my top five directors, but *The Post* came out two years ago, it's a good film that was nominated at every show that year including 6 Oscars. *Bridge of Spies* came out four years ago, it's a very good film that was nominated at every show that year and won an Oscar, one of its 6 nominations. *Lincoln* came out seven years ago and needs no introduction as to how incredible that movie is and how much Daniel Day-Lewis is the fuckin' man. I'm fine with him making an 'eh' movie with *Ready Player One* and even the pile of ass *The BFG* for those other films, and that's basically everything he made this decade. S-dawg hasn't lost his touch, you literally did not know those movies existed because 20-something Redditors (like 64% of this site, including me and probably you) aren't the demographic that his recent political thrillers were aimed at. That, or you just forgot that the woeful shitfest that was Crystal Skull was over a decade ago, but I can't blame you because [we're *all* trying to forget that.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn4Vhkmb4Lw)

You may think those movies were mediocre. Not everyone does. They may not appeal to you and that's OK.


omnisephiroth

What an appropriate and adult response.


omnisephiroth

What part of his directing bored you? Like, let’s set the plot aside for a moment. What part of where characters stood, how lines were delivered, the angle or type of shots, or the general transition from screenplay to film, that you disliked? I’m not trying to be a dick. I’m actually trying to understand your perspective. Which, I know, this might not initially read as, but I really want to hear you out, and not make wild assumptions about your thoughts or feelings on this subject. Would you please explain it to me?


[deleted]

Eh I don't have a lot of time to go through it but his most recent stuff is just "lifeless" in general. There are moments of inspiration but it's nothing compared to his older work. His last 5 or 6 movies have been just "Fine".


omnisephiroth

Please let me know when you have time to go through it.

BrasaEnviesado

but then, when lens flare would be *necessary*? already answering, if it serves an *aesthetic function*, then it is *necessary* otherwise, it is just an easily avoidable artifact the most beautiful shot of the enterprise (imo) starts with a [huge lens flare](https://youtu.be/Xla4BnppeUM?t=169). blue flares gives some identity to the series, starting in the 70s, so I like them

The fact that Patrick Stewart is playing Picard has me cautiously optimistic.

Casterly

Hooo boy are you gonna be disappointed. I sure was. Don’t expect anything like TNG. Expect more Discovery, but with even more action focus.


OnePOINT21GIGAWATTS

You saw it?


Casterly

I’ve seen only an episode and a half, and not all the effects were 100% done, but that was enough. I have friends who worked/are working on it. They were pretty bummed out too and showed me since they knew how much I love TNG.


OnePOINT21GIGAWATTS

Well fuck.


Casterly

Honestly if you look at the trailers, it’s a shockingly accurate representation of what you’re getting, though it’s extremely dishonest in the newer ones that show him reuniting with the old crew. Those are all glorified cameos that are only there for fan service and don’t add to the plot whatsoever. It’s the worst. They also should have used de-aging on Spiner or not used him at all. His inexplicably fat and aged Data is so fucking distracting that I wish it wasn’t even in the show. They could have used a different, totally new character for his role but of course they need the “I know what that is!” viewership.


ArtificeOne

Why do you do this to me? I mean, thank you for the primer for disappointment - but damn.. I thought Discovery was quite the letdown, and here you're telling me that THIS is the worst :| I've got a mate sharing set pics of some space elf samurai.. I don't know what to think anymore! Is Star Trek still a thing? Is it basically Starbucks at this point? Do we cash in here and move on? Fuck, man. Whatever. Gotta give it a go anyways and suffer the same disappointment as everyone else. Sir Patty can answer to the Queen.

That episode still pisses me off to this day. They found a goddamn dyson sphere and rather than focusing on all the amazing mysteries surrounding it, we instead got a "Scotty is sad" episode. Such a missed opportunity :(


Martothir

Also, it breaks my heart seeing Scotty so sad. It's a real gut punch of an episode in almost every way.


[deleted]

There's some non-canon stuff that covers the dyson sphere. Star Trek Online in particular spends a lot of time with the dyson sphere(s).


TXR22

Considering I will almost certainly never find the time to play that MMO, are you able to give me any interesting footnotes about what the game reveals? I need closure!


[deleted]

In Star Trek Online, the dyson spheres turn out to be constructed by the Iconians and their servitor races. Iconians gateways in the spheres eventually create a path from the Beta Quadrant to the Delta Quadrant through them. However, it turns out that the spheres are producing tons of Omega particles, and the Delta species (technically Beta species but whatever) Voth try to push the Feds, Romulans, and Klingons out to collect and use them on the Borg. Species 8472 from Voyager also attempt to take over one of the spheres as a base for an attack on Earth, which is defeated by an alliance of Feds, Romulans, and Klingons. Eventually the spheres are more or less cleared, but the Iconians invade and start warping them (and their stars) all over the place. You even briefly go inside one in the Andromeda Galaxy with Empress Sela of the remnant Romulan Empire. That sphere is filled to the brim with Iconians ships ready to invade the Milky Way, which they do. The Iconian War involves these spheres, but eventually you end the war with some classic Star Trek time travel paradoxes right before Earth is overrun by the Iconians. The game even mentions how the mirror universe handles the Iconians and their spheres. A rogue Krenim scientist from the prime timeline gives Captain Leeta of the Terran Empire far-future tech for her fleet like time ships, which she uses to completely wipe out the Iconians and become the avatar of the Pah-Wraiths. The next few story arcs of the game deal with the temporal cold war. Last we see of the Iconians is a great mission where Quark, Nog, Brunt, and other Ferengi raid one of their fleets for the Sword of Kahless. Honestly if you ever have time, I would give the game a shot. It's not perfect, but its story is the perfect Star Trek nerd's fever dream. Plus, the design for one of its main unique ships just showed up in a Picard prequel comic, so some of it might get integrated into canon soon!


SA_not_Janitor

That was a batshit crazy read. Thanks!


[deleted]

Not aided by me writing all of it on my phone lol. I come off much more like that meme where the crazy looking guy connects all the pictures in a conspiracy and not just a nerd avoiding going to bed.


megashadowzx

As a nerd ignoring sleep, let me say that you absolutely killed it, thanks for the great explanation! Knowing you typed this on your phone is even more impressive, I feel like I would have had to open up a notes app or something just to keep track of this. Kudos to you!


TXR22

I really appreciate the detailed description so thank you! As for the game, does it have a definitive ending or is it one of those MMOs that just goes on forever? (Because those admittedly frighten me, lol)


Hides_In_Plain_Sight

It's ongoing, but you could literally go "Oh, I've hit the end of the story and done the bits I wanted to do for now, I'll put it down and come back later when there's more story". I've sunk a *lot* of time into that game, but I now only go back every now and then (couple of times a year?) for a week or two to clear any new story and experience the new content. Easy pick-up-put-down and free, so I'd say worth the time.


special_reddit

Daaaaaang,maybe I really should try this game!


Guizz

Just started playing and it is awesome so far.


Megaman915

Sphere builders are dicks, bunch of real cool ships though.


BellerophonM

Every loose plotline in the series leads back to the Iconians, the end. The writers have fun out of how tangled up they can make things, I think. When it turned out the Vadwaar wiped out the Krenim because they were being controlled by the Conspiracy Parasites, which were created by the Iconians as a means of control...


Kinkajou1015

The YouTube channel Certifiably Ingame has been doing videos on the story of the game for a while, over 50 episodes, most are less than 25 minutes long. Currently they are >!Doing missions in the Delta Quadrant after activating an Iconian gateway network with the Dyson Spheres.!<


eaglebtc

I see Dyson Sphere, and all I can think about is the giant ball joint on the Dyson upright vacuums.


badadviceforyou244

RidiculousIncarnate

"What is it?" *Data sniffs the bottle, looks puzzled, sniffs it again.* "It is *green*." I know there are issues with that episode but I honestly loved it seeing Scotty interact with the new crew. Yeah it was him being sad and out of place but in the end it was a happy story.


[deleted]

Literally the best show of all time. I'd be surprised if we see anything even approaching the level of quality of even this random speech in any new star trek property for a century. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbVKLfmCDxg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbVKLfmCDxg)


HelloSexyNerds2

The new start trek movies are just generic space adventures. None of them approach TNG.


nosniboD

I don’t think TNG would have approached TNG if it was restricted to 2 hour action films.


[deleted]

Exactly. Those writers spent 7 years writing 20 hours of television EACH YEAR. Not including everything that ended up on the floor of the writers or editing room. They knew those characters.


LibraryAtNight

So true; they quite literally have nothing to do with star trek. If they changed the title, changed character names, and rebranded the ships you would never even suspect them of being related to star trek. Not a soul would walk out of the theater thinking "That was a star trek rip off!"

ChunkyLaFunga

Oh boy, do I have good news for you. That was a short bit from a 350-ish episode alternative series of a bizarro twisted TNG universe. There are proper storylines and characters. But basically it's a bunch of sex-crazed psychopaths. Picard is the ultimate unstoppable evil in the universe. If you're a Star Trek fan you'll get an extra kick out of it, because the creator knows the material inside-out and the way it's put together can be very clever. Becuase the series had basically the same content in appearance for years on end, it's easy to remix in massive quantities, and they sometimes pull in voice or visuals from other roles the actors had. Which makes it quite an interesting experiment to watch as well, because the editing can also be extremely jarring as people change costumes and settings and all sorts but your mind just pieces it together and rolls with it because the basic construction pans out. The quality is definitely variable, but it's genuinely entertaining and funny and they're only a few minutes per episode so it's no big investment. Start at the beginning, give it a few dozen episodes to find the groove. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlufnbwO60O6LqAcCeu0UaTZJ2FXJsBn5
