okay THIS WAS A BLAST thank you for all the questions! i am so sorry i couldn’t answer every single one i have to run to set now but feel free to dm me on IG @team_karim if you want to ask me anything else and i’ll try my best to answer!! 🖖
We’re live now!EDIT: Big THANK YOU to Karim and to everyone that left a question!! I think this went really well for our little instance and hopefully can inspire future AMAs all over the Fediverse!❤️
Also because this thread is understandably getting a lot of attention, here is a link to our Patreon. A few people have requested a higher tier, so we’ve finally added one🖖
Is that the UTC-0500 one?
I wish more people would use that format. It’s much easier to relate to your own time zone.
Depends… I grew up with TV stations advertising shows in Eastern/Pacific time zones while I lived in neither.
I’ve also driven to both of those time zones and can picture how many time zones away they are in my head.
Either one of those is easier for me.
There’s an entire world of timezones that aren’t the US.
It’s easier for you to remember your timezone in ± utc than making everyone else on the planet look up whatever the fuck est is every time we need to.
yoooo, a celebrity on the fediverse? let’s goooooo
Whoa, Lemmy is going places! I never expected to see a Reddit-style AMA to appear here. I don’t have any questions for you, Mr. Karim but I do wish you the best!
Is this the thread for questions?
What actor from Trek’s past, that primarily wore lots of makeup and prosthetics, do you look up at as a acting role model?
Welcome to a deeply weird community!
If you were going to spend a day as a member of a Star Trek crew (other than your current show), which would you choose, and why? Assume it’s going to be a normal and pleasant day, not one of the exceptionally horrifying days where everyone gets space parasites or some such.
lower decks crew on U.S.S. Cerritos are DEFINITELY my people
Sorry I’m late guys, i’m locked in now! About to go crazy responding to all these questions lol
I just want to tell you how much I liked the episode that explored Klingon honor and how that hunting scene kept being recontextualized.
The show reminds me of Lower Decks in that it’s different but it’s the same. Cant wait to see more.
How do you and your co-stars stay entertained during downtime on set?
we are SO playful on set. play soccer in the green room. board games. read books. on our phones/computers. but mostly we just talk to each other, laugh, and have fun.
Hi, Karim!
I cannot believe nobody else is asking this question, so here it goes:
What is your favorite dinosaur? 🦕
Triceratops
It’s really refreshing to see a gay relationship happen organically on screen in a context outside of the contemporary stereotypes - and indeed, outside of human culture altogether. I realize Trek has done this a bit in the past with Culber/Stamets, and Reno - have you had to think about how LGBT culture exists in a multi-planetary society in the 4th millennium? Is it just plainly a utopia to strive for, for everyone? Is Jay Den’s family’s Triad House a non-issue in Klingon Society post Qu’onos, or was that something that happened out of necessity to preserve Klingon culture?
in the future literally no one cares who and how you love. like whether you love a guy, girl, nonbinary, or trans person, or if you’re in a monogamous, or polyamorous relationship… its not a big deal like it is now in the 21st century. in the future, As long as you are being true to yourself and you’re not harming yourself or others, literally no one cares lol. It just is. that’s why i love on the show its just presented naturally, there’s no big moment about it, it just exists and that’s it. a triad house is completely a non-issue and no one even bats an eyelash at it.
Weirdly, I just thought about how odd it seemed that the fediverse didn’t have an AMA community and boom, inside 24-hours, here’s this post! Very rad seeing this and now I’ll have to add another show to my watch list!
- Have you been on the fediverse before this account and AMA post?
- If so what flavor of Linux do you run? :P
Seriously, even if you don’t see or answer these questions, it’s super cool you’re doing this and I’m glad one of the first on the platform is for Star Trek!
Is this Lemmy’s first celebrity AMA?
Oh my gosh! Welcome to the Fediverse!
We’re kind of obsessed with Star Trek here.
Um…I don’t have a question. It’s just so cool to see you here. And since Academy is relatively new, I should add welcome to the Trek fandom!
I hope our appreciation for your art shines through!
Yep this guy just got me to watch. God damnit.
Yeah… I’ll be watching it now. Edit: Genuinely enjoyed the first episode. Only minor science-based or engineering-based gripes, which I will hold my tongue on. I have put up with MUCH worse! :D
I was always planning on eventually watching, but now I’m putting it on today.
lets go!!!
Qapla! Been watching it on and off all day. Love that freaking low octave. Should be caught up in a couple of hours.
Hi Karim! really loving SFA, and Jay-Den is definitely an awesome character, the Trek world needs more Klingon scientists!!
Jay-Den’s voice is really great 🔥 fit for a warrior.
What’s your favorite Klingon phrase?!
thank you!
a warrior does not let a friend face danger alone.
