The goal of c/Quarks has always been to help foster a sense of community for StarTrek.website, but it is just a generic “offtopic” community and does not really have an identity of it’s own on the Fediverse....
Goofy decision. I have an account here, but I rarely use it because of the ratio of spam to genuine posts on the instance.
You could always just defederate from those toxic instances? It seems like this isn’t a popular decision with the community. Might be worth rethinking it.
I do like the non-spam content on this instance, such as Quark’s and Daystrom. I’m subscribed to it through other accounts, but occasionally I poke my head in on the actual account I have here.
Personally, with most of the instances I actually use, I find it easier to just look at the Local feed. On this instance, however, a significant portion of what gets posted is just repetitive spam, so it’s hard to really do that. It’s much easier to subscribe to individual interesting communities, such as Daystrom and Quark’s, through other instances that I’m more likely to actively use.
I suppose if you don’t care what kind of experience anyone has on your instance, that’s your business.
That’s always been my thought. There’s so much internal monologue in Dune, how else are you going to represent it? The Scifi Channel and Villeneuve both seem to just kind of like, leave it out. Herbert’s characters have rich internal lives, and arguably the most significant parts of Dune happen inside their heads.
The other adaptations maybe stayed closer to the source material for the details of the world in some aspects, but I think Lynch really nailed the feeling and some of the important ways of thinking that kind of get left out otherwise.
Thankfully, it seems like everybody’s done a pretty good job with the source material so far. People grumble about the Scifi miniseries too, but it did a pretty great job conveying the first three books. I’ve been a life-long Dune fan and they all hit the mark for me. That’s pretty rare in any adaptation, and I think it speaks to the strengths of the story itself and Herbert’s fantastic world-building.
I can’t even begin to try to like, rank my favorite Baron Harkonnen. They’re all fantastic and take the character in pretty different directions.
Sure, but it’s not really the same when it’s stated out loud. It becomes less about characters plotting against one another and more about characters just like, talking really openly about their motivations.
It kind of suffers from that weirdness you see a lot in anime where a character who’s completely alone will go into extreme detail about their plans or motivations. Basically an internal monologue, but delivered out loud into a space that’s mid-way through the fourth wall.
This article was extremely confusing without the context of what this show is. I thought they were talking about some new Star Trek series with an alternate history.
Announcement to non-StarTrek.website users: on July 10th, c/Quarks will change to "locals only". Thanks to the Lemmy devs for this new feature!
