  • It comes down to the kind of leather used. Most manufacturers will say they use “genuine leather”, which is technically leather because it’s the scraps from other leather products glued or bonded together. You also have pleather, AKA fake or synth leather, which iirc if it’s 100% pleather it’s actually good, but anything less than 100% and it becomes absolute shit.

    The older leather stuff and modern premium leather will usually be full-grain leather, which is the actual good leather we know and love.


  • I really hope that SNW keeps any more references to the TOS crew to either one-shot episodes or really short cameos, because I genuinely dig it when SNW does it own thing.

    It’s cool to explore Spock, Uhura, and Chapel at this point in their careers, and I’m starting to warm up to including Kirk as a semi-regular on the show, but stuff like putting Scotty in an episode where it would’ve been fine if he was replace by a different character is where I can see it going in an unhealthy direction for the show. We, the viewers, don’t need a ton of these call forwards to the TOS crew because we can reasonably say “oh, they’re all in training/serving on different ships right now” and be ok with it - we don’t need to see Chekov, Sulu, Bones, or anybody else from TOS here if it’s gonna be at the expense of the show itself.





  • Are you forgetting you’re talking about the series where:

    • Humpback whales were a central plot point in one of the movies
    • Dr. Crusher had a sexual relationship with a ghost
    • Paris and Janeway were mutated into lizards, had sex with each other, and gave birth to babies
    • It’s canonical that people need to clean up the bio-filters for holodecks (leave that one to the imagination)
    • Data, a robot, manages to get laid a couple of times
    • Q’s method of testing humanity is basically trolling the entire TNG crew every single time he appears
    • SNW had a literal fantasy episode in S1
    • Fucking James Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes was a recurring villain in TNG enough times to show up in Picard

    Like… my guy, Stark Trek has always had an element of camp and being a goofy-ass series. It has a lot of thoughtful and contemporary dialogue in a lot of the episodes, yes, but you can’t say stuff like the SNWxLD crossover (which, as somebody who has never watched LD and grew up with TNG & DS9, I thought was pretty good) and the next couple of episodes are straying from Star Trek as a whole. Why do you think a lot of Trek fans would consider GalaxyQuest as an honorable Star Trek film?
