On Tuesday, Apr 23, 2024, the #StarTrekHour community on Mastodon will discuss LD S3E8 “Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus” where the lower deckers play through a movie sequel on the holodeck. Special thanks to @petertrek1@universeodon.com, @twerpy@tenforward.social, @markgritter@mathstodon.xyz for contributing discussion questions:
Q1: What were some common themes in both “Crisis Point: The Rise of Vindicta” and “Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus”? @PeterTrek1@universeodon.com #StarTrekHour
Q2: Crisis Point 2 makes liberal use of tropes from Star Trek movies — but to the crew of the Cerritos, that’s just Starfleet history. What “historical records” or themes from Star Trek would you like to see remixed in your own Holodeck blockbuster? @markgritter@mathstodon.xyz #StarTrekHour
Q3: Was it out of character for Rutherford to not take his and Tendi’s part of the holoprogram seriously and joke around instead? @PeterTrek1@universeodon.com #StarTrekHour
Q4: For a filler/funny episode: How did they do here? @twerpy@tenforward.social #StarTrekHour
Q5: Boimler leaves his movie’s main story to follow a random extra. If movies in our time were adaptive like this, what random extra from what movie would you want to follow instead of the main plot? @JoeSondow@dice.camp #StarTrekHour
Q6: With the “Crisis Point 2” holoprogram, Boimler was trying to “find meaning in the randomness of death”. Was he successful by the end? @PeterTrek1@universeodon.com #StarTrekHour
Q7: Tendi reveals to Rutherford that she’s interested in becoming a captain one day. Did this feel like a natural progression of Tendi’s character arc, or did it come out of the blue? Why do you think Tendi wants to be a captain? @markgritter@mathstodon.xyz #StarTrekHour
Now conducted on Mastodon, #StarTrekHour is a weekly hashtag party hosted by @JoeSondow@dice.camp every Tuesday at 1pm PT, 4pm ET. The @StarTrekHour@tenforward.social account posts the discussion questions. Participants reply with their answers and the #StarTrekHour hashtag.
