So it would seem.

EDIT: Nevermind, wrong thread.

Or, really, any era other than far-flung future.

So, Starfleet Academy is a spaceship now. Makes sense, given that the Federation as a whole was space-based for quite awhile. I wonder whether San Francisco is its formal location now, or if it travels frequently between Federation worlds.

It's the new "the aliens have invaded to steal our water!"

I enjoyed it. I've never read the book, so can't tell you how faithful it is, but it was some impressive worldbuilding and I liked the main characters.

Just once I'd like to see a War of the Worlds adaptation set in the 1890s.

We do at least get quite a few of them in Lower Decks, both in the episode where they visit DS9 and the alternate versions later in the final season. Plus Worf counts as a DS9 character as well as a TNG character.

This week's episode felt like some classic Trek in a lot of ways, breaking the rules and sneaking into what will presumably go on to be called the Neutral Zone to save a friend. The reveal of the threat on the planet is well telegraphed, and we get some more character development for Ortegas...

I can't get around the nomenclature. To me, fries are french fries, the really thin ones like you get in McDonalds. Anything heftier is a chip.

I retired a sorcerer in a very high-level 3.5e campaign because, as effective as he was, I wound up feeling like I wasn't playing a person, I was playing a walking artillery piece.

Yeah, I subscribe to Disney+ via my mobile phone provider and didn't notice for two months that they'd automatically put me onto the higher tier when it came out. Then it took nearly half an hour on their website to find where to change it. Likewise, the only ads I've seen so far are a bit of...

Netflix went to a two-tier system some time ago in the UK. If you haven't seen ads with them, either you're on the higher tier or yo've been lucky - they do seem a bit flaky, at least on their Android app. Sometimes I'll get an ad break, sometimes the episode will just skip forward 10 seconds...

It's that plus the fact that they were forced into a dormant phase. They're no longer the looming threat that dominated her life, so she's been able to relax and contemplate other things. Seems like it's that way for practically all streaming services these days. The concept of subscriptions...

One patient that must be quarantined as she's liable to release a bunch of ravenous nasties at some point soon. As mentioned, there was dialogue about other patients being treated in the spillover sickbay.

Or at least the offspring of a Q and a Q. As I recall from the Voyager episode, the whole point of Q trying procreation was to shake things up in the Q continuum by introducing something new. So he's either Q or Q-adjacent.

There certainly was a big tonal difference between the two episodes, I was glad I didn't watch them in quick succession. The second one was pretty fun, my only annoyance was that they did rather damsel-ify Christine.

I guess the big example in the genre would be Batman, where they went through three different Batman actors in four movies starting in 1989, and have gone through, what, three or four more since the Nolan reboot. But in those cases the succeeding movies were often only loosely connected if at...

More like "okay, try to return it intac- oh, who am I kidding, I'll get a replacement on order."

Bethesda never really did get the hang of faces.
