Invincible was called woke, just because the female general in coalition took command of the ship

And don’t forget, Mark first GF is now black! The horror!

Writing inconsistency is a curse for any long-running property. Dismissing past lore or formal definitions irks me deeply.

That article is reason enough to like the guy, if one didn’t like him before.

TOS’ Dagger of the Mind and What Are Little Girls Made Of? made me know, at 10 ,that I really liked petite shapely dark haired women.

Then again, years later, Dagger of the Mind made me notice that I liked mind control fantasies…

My preference is Nikola.

Is Threshold worse than Code of Honor?

I’d say it’s worst. Being racist is horrible, but it wasn’t until “Threshold” that ST became actively and willingly stupid.

If not the most imaginative, certainly the most inspiring, and it evokes a strong insertion in our reality.

I think obvious that she would have sided with Maddox and disagreed with the ruling. I don’t think her capable of overcoming her prejudices against artificial life forms.

I use names of known computers or androids in fiction. My main computer is always Ralf (the computer built by Richie Adler in Whiz Kids), and my main phone is Lal (Data’s daughter). My girlfriend uses other franchises (GLaDOS, Wheatley, Marvin).

The sitcom The Rikers as pitched by Sirtis and Frakes would have been better that the three seasons of Picard, frankly.

And he knows it, and he’s grateful to have been able to give depth to Bester. He has said as much in interviews. As B5 fan, this makes me very happy.

I’ll never forget the Powers That Be who passed on the Global Frequency pilot. Michelle Forbes was glorious as Miranda Zero.

Demona wouldn’t be the disturbingly seductive menace she is without Marina Sirtis’ voice.

And the gag with Ransom calling Una the sexiest, given the actors’ relationship.

Thank you, yes.

I consider Discovery in its own disaster category. They didn’t even try to make sense.

Voyager had at least a veneer of palatable Trek. Sometimes.

VOY is the most scientifically illiterate of all Trek series. They tried to sound at least as “sciency” as TNG, but:

• They spent half a season searching ores on planets while mentioning a gas
• They invented the “iso-” pseudo prefix to hide they didn’t understand the metric system (in a prior episode they were alarmed by a cosmic event generating as little pressure as 10 atmospheres).

I get that JSON is intuitive and a huge improvement over XML, but I still find it verbose.
