Spoilers Episode 7 "Nepenthe"

[Nerys Myk]

She might have received the shirt from Uncle Worf.

How soon will the shirt be available at StarTrek.com?

 

[Kevman7987]

Because I suspect the remaining xBs are going to revolt against the Romulans, and restart / regenerate the Cube for their own purposes.

They'll become their own sovereign nation of people with a mobile, cube-shaped homeworld/mobile command center/battle-station.

And Chewable Blue Tracking Devices!

At least it wasn't a suppository. *rimshot*

How soon will the shirt be available at StarTrek.com?

I don't feel like looking back through dozens of pages to find the answer, but what did Kestra's t-shirt say?

That chewable transponder/tracking device looked like a '90s cool mint chewing gum commercial. It both allowed Dr. Jurati to be tracked and gave her fresh breath.*

*Now in both Peppermint and cool new Spearmint flavor!

Will it be called Htrae?

"Sex Pistols" in Klingon. (More or less)

 

[cooleddie74]

Never mind the mek'leth, here's the disruptor!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Anarchy in the KE.

 

[Kevman7987]

ex-Borg 2: Collective Boogaloo.

And do we count the couple of times on TOS that Spock telepathically influenced a guard or somebody in order to get the landing party out of a bind? See "The Omega Glory" and "A Taste of Armageddon."

Heck, the very first time we ever Spock perform a mind-meld, on Van Gelder in "Dagger of the Mind," he did so without Van Gelder's consent, or so I recall. (Granted, Van Gelder was already mentally scrambled at the time, so Spock was just trying to get past his madness.)

My favorite Mind Meld is in this.

"I'm sorry, I have to put this where?!?"
"Hey, look, you know how it is. Cutbacks. These are cheaper."
"Well, this is terrible and I just don't..."
"Oh, it gets worse, believe me"
"Worse? HOW?"
"I have to watch"

 

[Greg Cox]

Actually, no, Van Gelder did consent. Spock told him it WOULD be dangerous, but it was the only way Van Gelder could communicate what was going on without the conditioned pain stopping him.

Ah. I stand corrected. Been awhile since I've watched that ep. I just remembered Van Gelder being wild-eyed and hysterical a lot.

 

[SolarisOne]

and at any time it's continuity could be overwritten by the show.

Not unless they retcon major things from the show itself. Most of the main plot points have already been confirmed on-screen.

 

[Orac Zen]

I'm really late to the party here, but IMO that was the best ep yet. Even better than seeing Seven again. Enjoyed the hell out of it.

 

[NCC-73515]

Also, it had the very first good child actor in the franchise (I don't count Nog and Jake, because their characters aged up into being good characters, they were bad as kids/teens but decent to good when they were played as late teens/adults).

Little Spock and the two Kirks were good in 09, little Elnor was good, and the two girls in CoM were good too

One thing I noticed, and this may have been mentioned already in this thread... I'm too lazy to read through 60+ pages of comments... anyway, in the flashback scene, Commodore Oh states to Jurati that she (Jurati) sent 300 gigabytes of data to Picard. Bytes, not Quads, which was the unit of measure for data used in all previous incarnations of Trek (at least in the 24th century). Do you (the general community) think this was deliberate or a writing gaffe?
If it was deliberate, it seems that the UFP decided to embrace binary again and abandon the computing architecture used in TNG, DS9 and VOY (quantum based or whatever it was). Perhaps Quad-based computing more easily lent itself to AI and artificial lifeforms?

Bits and bytes were mentioned in TNG, such as in 11001001 and in Measure of a Man, IIRC. Quads were introduced to avoid being overrun by better technology just a few years later in real life. So a quad is much more than a GB or a TB. It makes sense that for small data volumes that are in that range, these old units are still used. We also use meters and miles instead of lightyears when we mean short distances.

At least it wasn't a suppository. *rimshot*

Oh: First take this.
Jurati: (puts it in ...downstairs)
Oh: ...it has to be chewed...
Jurati:

Jurati:

Well, shit. That's way better than mine.

Well done

 

[NCC-73515]

Well, shit. That's way better than mine.

Well done

It's not a sick imagination contest

 

[RJDiogenes]

According to the trekcore review Hugh gave Elnor the Fenris SOS device before he died, though I didn't notice it.

I didn't notice that either. It looked like he randomly found it. But getting it from Hugh makes sense.

I was under the impression that she was specifically doing something to disable the tracker, which just happened to be dangerous to her.

Okay, that makes more sense. So she's gone from murderer to martyr. She's got levels.

 

[Gonzo]

This was not a TNG episode.


Ooh, that's a good point...he knew exactly what Raffi was up to on Freecloud.

I don't know about that, he looked to me to be sizing Raffi up for the airlock when sat back down and said as much which made Raffi pull a face and turn to look at him, then the EMH told them about Agnes and he raced for the medibay.

I think he is going to feel like a bit of a donkey when he finds out.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Loved the episode but I think Rios suspecting raffi and not Agnes is a puzzle that will explained later. At first I thought he was tricking her but then he actually joked about the possibility of her being the traitor.

 

[JoeZhang]

This was a great episode, with a lot of cool character stuff and just an overall enjoyable experience. Also, it had the very first good child actor in the franchise (I don't count Nog and Jake, because their characters aged up into being good characters, they were bad as kids/teens but decent to good when they were played as late teens/adults).

I don't count nog because he was played by an adult.

There is no way a Vulcan does that or mind melds without permission.

Yes - no Vulcan would do this:
