I got Councillor Troi for my ship computer. Good times.

Also, that one didn’t seem to leave any scars.

I think that refusing to hold her hand was unforgivable.

I mentioned to my wife, after Sam had asked, that the Doctor had, in fact, been in love at least once, and maybe three times, but I wasn’t sure one of them counted.

Seems I was wrong. That one did count.

I wonder why the old TOS fans like me are less impatient with fundamentals of human existence being presented through the growth of young adults?

I’m a TNG person myself. One thing that I very much liked about TNG, DS9, SNW, and to an extent VOY was the competency porn. (And then totally inverted in LDK)

This show doesn’t have much of that. It doesn’t even have what ENT had, which learning to be the professionals we want to see. This is still kids learning to be adults. That’s a different journey entirely.

Don’t get me wrong, I quite like it. But it has issues. But then, don’t they all?

I’ll stop picking nits when I’m cold and dead. We trekkies have a reputation to uphold, after all.

But I’ve go nothing of substance that I object to. It’s a bloody good show.

IIRC, the reason was absolute equality by way of absolute anonymity. You can’t tell what species or gender your fellows are, so it’s not possible to discriminate against them. If any race, for example, required a chilling apparatus, then all suits would have one, although only activated if required.

Or something like that.

I’m sure it’s perfectly safe, and we know the starships are held together as much by structural integrity fields as by metal, but I will be damned before I am chief engineer on a starship with the engines not bolted to the ship.

I would have liked Braca to have one or two more episodes as a scoundrel before becoming a villain. Dukat, with a bird of prey, as it were.

But yes, it was gloriously done.

A consideration, certainly. It might be because the actor passed?

Nog made Captain in STO. It’s not all cannon, but I like some of it better than actual cannon.

Which is the rank he held at the end of DS9, I believe.

I would like to think he made captain, but we didn’t see it.

Past the JemHadar Commandant, and Nog’s name on the wall, you mean?

Wasn’t he introduced with a story of pulling off a miracle to escape the Gorn? Or am I not remembering properly?

Indeed it is so.

Nevertheless, assholes.

If the employers are using computers to read my resume, why shouldn’t I used a computer to write it?

Assholes to the lot of them.

If you were to use their network to take advantage of the features for anything that the “predator” behind doesn’t care, you’re fine.

But what will the predator care about tomorrow? Or next year? And how confident are you that aggregate data is not what they want, for whatever reason?

My loyalty is for sale.

Scientists were so caught up with weather they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

I find it hard to believe that it’s legal to buy a company, but not it’s contractual obligations. Seems line a hell of a loophole for getting out of things you don’t want to do.

They did make a medical, in very limited numbers, but I’m using the TNG Science/Engineering tricorder.
