I love this meme. There’s one I saw once where he’s trying to explain why he blasted those parasite badmirals. Wish I saved it at the time.

Me: wow we already have that? can’t wait to be approved!

The comm:

As for paleontology, I personally think it’s just a bunch of hogwash if we go further back than around 5,000 years

Me: 🤮

I had no idea they were related, but apparently they were (thanks 😉). But that too was soon retconned:

According to comments by Michael and Denise Okuda, when mentioning of the speed limit was abandoned a few years after “Force of Nature”, it was assumed that newer ships, such as the USS Voyager and USS Defiant, had improved environmentally friendly warp drive systems, that did not cause damage to the spatial continuum.

Warp 10 and salamanders. Great examples 👌

But what about TNG 7x09, the one where we learn that warp travel damages subspace and that a warp speed limit is the solution?

Later, the Federation Council issues a new directive limiting all Federation vessels to a speed of warp five except in extreme emergencies.

Ya that’s kinda what I’m trying to get at. Like Latin, Arabic was useful and so it was used.

If such Latin erased them then arguably such Arabic equally erased them. Or maybe there was no erasure but instead pragmatism 🤷‍♀️

Are you saying these folks aren’t Arabs?

But why would they have Arab names instead of names from their own language?

So peculiar.

Edit: on further thought maybe we’re ready for a lemmy ask history community. This could have been a great discussion if it started with a question about Latin naming instead of an assumption of cultureal erasure.

Reminds me of this

Here we go -> So it begins

Come at me bro -> Let them come. They will break upon this fortress like water upon rock.

My favorite is the repair tool from S1 PIC, the one powered by imagination. Lets just create and forget a magic wand that commoditizes the entire engineering department 🙃

Enterprise was not bad at all.

Phlox, rub some decontamination gel on this revisionist history! The worst part was absolutely all the oily creeper shots.

Absolutely peak quark 👂👌

Odo used harumph. It’s super effective!

Incredibly well done episode. Not sure others have mentioned these, but I really really liked these things in particular:

• Reno has great presence and delivery. And the sharpest uniform.
• I’m glad the announcer from Children’s Hospital fell through an anomaly and arrived in Starfleet Academy.
• English graffiti and open flames everywhere! J/k how could they get everything else so right but then fumble this so poorly. You’re telling me the venari ral are space romans, but not romulans?

A great first season, I feel like they know what they’re doing and I want more.

I was kind of bummed by the explanation of why Discovery couldn’t jump with the spore drive

I loved this episode and the season in general , but I must disagree.

I felt like they respected their audience too much to leave us with freezer thoughts like “what about disco’s magic mushroom warp?”

Hear me out, it’s a Big Sword conspiracy. They wanted to be the only weapon marketed to the cross-shaped-violence demographic.

They are in the middle of — it’s not just drinking from one firehose, there’s probably ten thousand hoses. And so everything is just happening slower as a result of this massive time of transition. And that is not exclusive to Star Trek.

As a corporate drone I see this as an absolute win.

The odds are near their highest that Academy will be rubberstamped simply because it passes a triage check and they’re too busy to bikeshed the details.

Warrior pope you say? I think I read his biography once

At the bar celebrating his new commission aboard Voyager he met an ensign named Mariner.

This was an problem that Picard showrunner Terry Matalas ran into when he pitched his Star Trek: Legacy spinoff series set on board the USS-Enterprise-G (formerly USS Titan), as all of those sets were destroyed immediately after Picard season 3 wrapped up, adding significant startup costs to recreate everything for a new show.

Ah so that’s why that sets are relevant. No sets no spinoff.

He’s been meaning to ask her why her uniform is a catsuit made of office carpet.
