    So Starfleet just assume the robots went mad on their own? That’s some shuddy detective work. :)

    Maybe it's a design flaw...

    Seemed obvious someone hacked into them. I’m thinking Iconians.

    Didn't they go extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago?

    The 737MAX is but one type of aircraft. Still other aircraft flying. R&D still goes on. The grounding of that ONE plane is what? A year so far. :shrug:

    Thing is if you go looking for faults they will always be found.

    In pretty much everything.

    Ignoring the fault for monetary gain is the problem especially if it causes injury or death.

    We don't know what Starfleet assumed or how much detective work had been done or what it discovered.

    It could have known all the details but didnt let on that it did.

    Wouldnt surprise me if they just buried it.

    Especially as it would mean that one faction of Romulans just screwed their own people.

    I figured it out when Narek referred to her as a Dr from Trill polytech.

    I didn't even notice the Bajoran on the FNN News team until the past 24 hours!

    Regarding the Admiral scene, they cut the part from the original trailer where Picard tells her “a young woman came to see me ... she could be in serious danger”.

    I guess since the young woman was already dead that was not needed.

    BTW, as someone with bad hearing and who didn't apparently hear it on the playground I kept trying to figure out why a steak would be brown and sticky. :lol:

    It’s an old joke from Star Trek Online. For a time every story revolved around them.

    Solid 8 from me. The silly investigation scene nearly lost me, and I'm not all sold on this mysterious Romulan group, but there were some great character moments in there - the scene with Picard and the doctor in particular was excellent.

    Really like the cast so far too. I saw a call for Laris and Zhaban to have their own Short Trek - I'm on board!

    I mean, that doesn't mean anything. I'm sure other species could attend other planet's educational systems.

    I wonder if Mulgrew was asked to play the Admiral?

    I doubt it.

    The whole point of the scene was that it wasn't Picard's Starfleet anymore. Janeway would've been too close to him.

    Don't know why, I just got a Janeway vibe from the character.

    But you can build nuclear power plants and still ban nuclear weapons. The fissile fuel each requires is different in terms of % U-235 or Pu-239. That's what the Iran nuclear deal was all about -- they could process up to the purity for nuclear power plants, but no more.

    No respectable physicist actually thought that the Earth would be destroyed. To produce a black hole in the LHC collisions, there would have to be extra dimensions of space beyond our three. The black holes would be super microscopic (about 10,000 times smaller than a proton), and would evaporate in about a trillionth of a trillionth of a second.

    Even if they didn't evaporate (i.e. Hawking radiation is wrong), they would have to be stationary after the proton-proton collision, which is highly unlikely. More likely is that they fly out into space in a split second, where they're effectively harmless.
