That's from Miri
That was just a Foolie.

I know but he got the reference anyway
Good idea for my next Star Trek party.
With the former President of Earth, who is now the Starfleet Academy Medical Officer.That's one possibility people have considered, my favorite would be the 5th dimension from Captain Proton
Exactly - maybe that's why SAM is all over him
Seems to me the only difference is people at the time didn't care so badly that the fictional futurist tv show used familiar modern slang.
And the fact that that show remained relatable to later generations (like me) who never used an inkwell and had no clue what 'navy beans' were supposed to signify or what a 'pig's eye' has to do with anything very obviously puts the lie to the supposedly terrible dangers of being 'dated'. (As if that point even needed proving in a world that still celebrates Chaucer, Shakespeare, Shelley, Austen, Alcott, Hemingway, etc).
If something is good, future generations will enjoy it even if they don't fully understand every tiny piece of it and if they enjoy it enough they will also put in the effort to understand it better. And if it isn't good, then none of this even matters in the first place.
This is just a guess, mind you, but after SA Season 1, (with a pause in between) and probably leading up to SNW Season 4.
Exactly. I feel like there is this effort to explain away various discomfort when a beloved franchise outing, like Star Trek, doesn't land, and the use of slang is a easy target. But, sometimes things don't work.
After playing Star Trek Resurgence Bolians kind of freak me out now. I didn't realize that center line of theirs goes all the way around them. As an evolutionary trait it's a weird one. It makes them look like you could cut them down the middle and, or that they could split in half or something. That line just makes me ick a bit now.
Here's a brain teaser for ya, apart from Picard Season 2 ep 2 to ep 8 (I think), have there been any other episodes of any Star Trek show that did not have at least one space scene?
I can't think of one.
City on the Edge of Forever, Inner Light, Far Beyond The Stars, 11:59, Carbon Creek all had some bookends on the ship even though they took place in the past or alternate realities.
They are about the closest I've come though.

There are almost none that don't show the interior of the hero ship or station of the series. "All Our Yesterdays(TOS)" only has two space shots of the Enterprise, arriving at and then fleeing from Sarpeidon, but the inside of the ship itself isn't seen once during the episode.
