It’s the 2600 Asteroids but I don’t get the reference? Is this a badge awarded from an emulator?

Yeah X-Wing was better but it came out 3 years after Wing Commander.

I watched Orville, which episode was that?

It’s a TV show! If someone is entertained by hating it, who are you to impose your values?

I think he was using hyperbole but I understand his point of view. You watch a show, you don’t like it, you don’t watch it again. Every now and then you browse for something, see it and think “I remember I don’t like it.”

Four years later you forget you how much you didn’t like it and go, “Meh, there’s nothing else on.”

I was that way with Hyperdrive, the BBC comedy scifi from 2006. I watched an episode 10 years ago and didn’t get even to the end of the first episode. Tried it again a few months ago and kind of liked it. It wasn’t great, but had several good episodes.

It wasn’t like hating Hyperdrive took up any part of my thoughts at all over the past 10 years.

Besides, even if it was part of the OP’s thoughts, how is fandom love of a fictional television show different than fandom hate?

When you get older 4 years is nothing. There’s a lot of other things to do. Disco started 8 years ago!

She has annoying levels of Mary Sue. “Oh, I just happen to be the Federation’s foremost heart surgeon.”

Virus that ages people? “Oh, I happen to be the Federation’s top expert in viruses.”

“Oh I just happen to have been involved with Riker’s dad”

“Oh and I also performed 2 successful ocular implants so you don’t need the visor, Geordi.”

You can get away with giving a character one expertise better than everyone else in the universe, not 3.

It would be like if Geordi just happened the Federation’s foremost expert on warp engines instead of having to learn from Lea Brahms. And happened to be the Federation’s foremost expert on Cybernetics. And knew Riker’s sister.

It wasn’t but you could sort of play some joystick games with the paddle.

How did that work? The dial was analog left right and a button.

The thrust on asteroids was digital- on or off forward, left, right and back on the joystick was hyperspace jump.

You couldn’t move or hyper jump if you used the dial.

I thought it was incredible that the SG:U writers copied all the teen drama from the SG1 episode Wormhole Extreme. It’s like they didn’t realize that episode was a parody.

Are you saying it was a holo novel with Wesley Crusher playing as Michael Burnham?

transforms the successor in such a way that the end result is still what the author of the successor intended.

It says that it supports multiple but how would that actually work for more than 2?

You have 3 people who see the word two in a list and each want to add their item as 3rd in the list because it is a todo list and its place in the list is important. Appending based on previous position isn’t what they intended (contrasted with the example given where it was their intent).

I like the theory that it’s sent to the bridge to uplift the morale of the regular crew. They knew the officers will be the first to get blown up in any hostile encounter.

It keeps the captain in check if he knows he’s going to get a blown up console to the face instead of a lower deck red shirt dying .

When those protocols can’t be used like in landing parties, it’s the red shirts who die first.

It’s an inanimate carbon rod. The hero of space.

grounded in racist attitudes towards China

I don’t understand why that’s considered racist? Why is a conspiracy theory that China has a world class biolab capable of a global pandemic racist?

A crazy conspiracy that a foreign power has biotech superiority isn’t racism.

despite the show emphatically saying that the simulations kept repeatedly failing.

Which I already said is odd because it means their computers aren’t any faster than today’s computers. If Disco was set in 2025, I could understand why they couldn’t simulate protein folding with enough accuracy. But this is set in the future where they can record every atom with such perfection (Heisenberg compensator) that every atom in a person’s DNA is routinely read, transported across thousands of miles and reconstructed perfectly.

The network required a living construct to engage with. I already said there would need to be a physical interface between the computer and the mycelial network.

You’re arguing in bad faith I had already addressed every point that you repeated. The only one ignoring what I wrote is you.

Don’t take Trek so seriously. It’s just a show. It’s ok to point out holes.

living organic link

And you are ignoring my first post that said it’s just atoms moving and bonding. “Living” is only a chemical process. I believe it was Robert Hook who when looking at a living cell under the first microscope powerful enough, commented on his disappointment that “cells were just machinery”

Yes their simulation failed because somehow there computers aren’t any faster than today’s computers.

The writers knew it didn’t make any sense which is why they lampshaded it-

Stamets: “At the quantum level, there is no difference between biology and physics. No difference at all.”

Proteins that could not be adequately replicated by a computer

Yeah, but that requires a strange alternate future where computers are simultaneously both faster than today’s computers and also not any faster.

And yes the simulation needs a compatible physical interface.

“Living” is a chemical process. Since Stamets was able to transfer the DNA into himself, he had identified the segments that coded the particular proteins.
