  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x01 "Dos Cerritos" & 5x02 "Shades of Green"

    Jump

  • As a fan of mysteries, my mind tends to clasp onto details that writers felt important enough to mention, but had no bearing on the plot up to this point.

    The fact that the ship Tendi recovered was a “medical frigate” triggered such an alarm in my head. Yes the ship was able to gas the Blue Orions, but that’s hardly a feature unique to medical ships.

    We Know:

    • Tendi wants to come back to help raise her niece.
    • Tendi wants to be a captain
    • The finale is going to have some tear jerking moments
    • This is the last season.

    I think we’re being prepped for the main cast to go their separate ways, not unlike the DS9 finale.

    We’ve had some foreshadowing with Freeman and Starbase 80. I wonder if the finale might end with her being posted there, as an admiral. Fix it up, that sort of thing, rather than an exile.

  • Vice Press to Release Star Trek: Lower Decks Fine Art Posters

  • I really want the S5 set, and the S1 poster.

    Not really sold on a full set at the moment.

  • Southern conservatives surveying the damage.

  • This is why minorities are a prime scape goat for politicians.

    Why be mad at some faceless corporation/politician, when you can blame the world’s issues on Garry that you see in the supermarket?

  • Study: Increasing minimum wage does not reduce jobs

    Jump

  • No. They’re aiming for that regardless.

  • US Postal Service electric trucks are finally here and drivers love them

    Jump

  • Actually, I didn’t know. Never heard it used in an offensive context before today. But I’ll edit my comment just the same.

  • Airbags, Anti lock Brakes, and hopefully leg room are probably bonuses too.

  • [All Platforms] Star Trek Day!

  • Cerritos?

    Protostar?

    La Sirena?

  • ‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated Medicine

    Jump

  • Eeh.

    While I agree with the sentiment, I think we’re in this situation because of the current medical climate.

    • You call an ambulance? You get charged an arm and a leg.

    • You take yourself to the hospital, you get charged an arm and a leg.

    • You get medical insurance, and you’re somehow even further behind because it’s their priority to find reasons to deny having to give you money back,

    The current system does not work. As a consequence, people are attempting, however incompetently, to take their care into their own hands.

    Fix why folks are resorting to this, and this should stop being an issue, or at least stop gaining traction.

  • Why California Is Considering Banning Food Dyes in Schools

  • Butter used to be dyed yellow. Now no one bats an eye that it’s off white.

    It takes time, but new normals take over.

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Begins Production on Season 1

    Jump

  • If we go by the gap between Strange New Worlds beginning filming, and S1’s release, we could see Academy around November of next year.

  • Colm Meaney Isn't Sure Star Trek Needs an Old Man Miles O'Brien

    Jump

  • I feel like Dennis the buffer buff from the Lower Decks S3 Premiere was intended to be O’Brien, (Transporter enthusiast, war veteran) but for whatever reason it didn’t pan out…

    … which I honestly felt worked out for the best. Dennis was like my grandpa.

  • [Prodigy spoilers] 30 Years Later, Star Trek Finally Pays Off Its Strangest Sci-Fi Twist

    Jump

  • Dude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.

  • Could any of the main characters of Prodigy have been affected by the Borg assimilation in Picard S3?

    Jump

  • Rok would still be considered an adolescent, if the lore from Star Trek: New Frontier applies, from which her species was largely fleshed out.

    At that age, she would be very gruff and moody, only after molting in her 30’s (I think?) would she regain her more bubbly personality.

  • Food: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Across the Supply Chain

    Jump

  • Dairy cows and beef cows are different breeds. There’s hardly any overlap worth mentioning. For the purposes of these kinds of reports, they might as well be different species.

  • Japan forces Apple and Google to allow third-party app stores and payments

    Jump

  • Is that last one granting access to closed APIs?

    That’s a double edged sword if I ever heard one.

  • Paul Giamatti Boards ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’

    Jump

  • Not impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.

    And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.

  • Why China is winning the EV war

    Jump

  • Automakers care about how much R&D they have to invest and the impact on the quarterly profits. ICEs are dirt cheap in that regard, and it took the federal government bribing them to do so.

  • Why China is winning the EV war

    Jump

  • Because US automakers and oil interest groups actively sought to keep the status quo?

    You never got the memo that your tech support company was bought out by Wizard Craft Inc. and continue to dispense advice as usual.
