If you say it loud enough you’ll almost sound precocious.

EXTREME WARNING if you have something important to do today. The above link is to TV Tropes. It’s too late for me, but you still have a chance to be productive today!

Hello, I would like to complain that filling out a form to complain is exactly the kind of thing that Gene Roddenberry would be against so I refuse to do it. /s

This video sums up my feelings exactly. Thanks for the recommendation. They are a lot more articulate than I was.

I think that’s something that gets forgotten. Season 2 gets skipped through a lot during rewatches I know. All anyone remembers is her being racist to data.

She starts out mean to Data but she comes around by the end of the season. She is also a former lover of Kyle Riker, which could have made for a much more interesting dynamic for and with Riker if it had continued.

I agree. And its a real shame. I also remember seeing Pulaski sitting in the chair next to Picard relatively often where I think of Crusher being in the medical bay far more. That could just be my own memory though.

I’m banking on continued driver improvements and hopefully some big price drops when the B series of ARC finally launches.

I also like the idea that the A380 it doesn’t require pcie power cables. You could theoretically add one to an appropriately large 2nd pcie slot as a second GPU in a server or a workstation.

I just say that video from Wendell. Looks promising.

I think they mean Seth Grahme-Smith, author of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

So I’m down. Please not too many pew pew space battles. You can include Abe Lincoln if appropriate. That is precedented and canonical for Star Trek.

I never knew that about TOS but it now makes a lot of things make a lot of sense.

Also everyone beware, it’s a TV Tropes link. Maybe save this post and come back to it on a long car ride…

I will just put in my 2¢. I maintain 3d printers for a local library and while the 4 mk3s+ machines have been solid the Mini+ has been nothing but trouble.

First we had issues with the extruder, then the Bowden tube kept causing jams. Replaced that but still have a ton of stringing with the default Prusaslicer profiles with every kind of filament we have tried.

And honestly having messed with both, the additional space needed for a “full size” printer is marginal once you factor in the spool holder.

Prusaslicer is amazing. The MK3 is/was great. I don’t know how much I love Bambu lab but the Prusa Mini was not great.

He would have probably done well writing for the Klingon version of J Peterman honestly.

They did that one time on Undiscovered Country. I guess that was a Klingon ship though.

Maybe its a classic situation of failing upwards. They suck too much to keep a ship of people alive but not enough to be kicked out of Starfleet, well they are getting into their sixties, what do we do? Promote them I guess, unless it’s Harry Kim.

Meanwhile the ones that are amazing at their jobs like O’Brien are stuck at Chief Petty Officer.

Definitely all true. But the implication that she was made into a Romulan love slave, especially after having established her backstory always rubbed me the wrong way.

Funny you should mention that

That’s a tricky question. In some way, an unintentional error being corrected later makes sense. Especially since something like a sound effect doesn’t change the plot. It’s sort of akin to using digital effects to remove visible wires from model-based space shots.

But where does it end? I don’t know if I have a good answer.

Sometimes I like to make up headcanon to justify mistakes for fun. For instance, maybe the paging system on the Defiant blew out on a mission and O’Brien had to wire in a Cardassian chime temporarily while he waited for a new part to get ordered.

The main guy on this episode seems like a 1980s wrestler. Especially with the shiny outfit.

Yeah I know. It’s definitely a me problem. I’m sure one day I’ll come around.

It’s been a long time after all…maybe my time is finally here.

Lets just say that the theme song is so bad, that I was burning through every Star Trek show my first time watching. Next Gen-Boom, TOS-POW, Voyager-Ehh OK!, Deep Space Nine-WOAH. Then when I got to Enterprise I had such a visceral reaction to the theme song on the first episode that I never continued the show. Its a very stupid reason I know, but its my reason, and I am going to need a much more compelling reason ever to return.

We need a “Star Wars Despecialized Editon” of Enterprise where the only thing they change is the theme song.

Edit: Alright everyone you talked me into it, my local library has the Enterprise DVDs so I’ll give them a go. And I’ll even listen to the theme song. 🖖
