    Spoilers ST Lower Decks - Starships & Technology Season 5 Discussion

    I forgot the department colour swap (if indeed that would apply to the somewhat erratic uniform code of SB80!?) and I spent most of the episode wondering if sleepy Jacobowski would turn out to be the Captain. But if the Acamarian Gatherers were ceded 50% of the base... AND if they're not too far...

    Spoilers ST Prodigy - StarShips & Technology Season 1 Discussion

    Truly wonderful replicator menu! Yet with some questionable elements. If the dots next to species indicate popularity, (or suitability- as the dots are not present for humans in the case of the toxic Garnofree) why would Cardassians (who begin their day with hot fish juice) spurn salmon? And why...

    Spoilers Star Trek Discovery - Starships and Technology Season Five Discussion

    In the tie-in novels (which recently declared themselves non-canonical whatever that may mean- (I guess they un-happened due to time travel but somehow still exist on my bookshelves)) Archer’s contact Daniels was known as Timot Danlon in his home time period. Around 3051 he was a Federation...

    Spoilers Star Trek Discovery - Starships and Technology Season Five Discussion

    Daniels DOES appear dressed as a Kirk era redshirt in Star Trek Online. It's starting to create a picture of a guy who might as well have said he served on "EVERY USS Enterprise."

    Spoilers Star Trek Discovery - Starships and Technology Season Five Discussion

    No offence to Kovich or whoever, but is that Red Directive a good use of Zora's (potentially very long?) life? Thank you for your service, enjoy a retirement so lonely you're like to go mad? Possibly that's just the peril it takes to plug a predestination paradox.

    Spoilers Star Trek Discovery - Starships and Technology Season Five Discussion

    Thanks to Picard series creators, it may now be that the NX-01 became the USS Enterprise later in life, maybe in 2161 after Daniels served on her, although I thought in the moment that Daniels was talking about his unseen service on the J.

    Spoilers Star Trek Discovery - Starships and Technology Season Five Discussion

    Can we surmise anything about the year based on human or Kweijan lifespans which might be even longer in the distant future? The shuttle 47 seems to be the same design as 3191. Admiral Vance (possibly the same Vance) is said to be active. Can we come up with anything regarding Tilly's "longest"...

    Spoilers Star Trek Discovery - Starships and Technology Season Five Discussion

    Jake Sisko was there as a war correspondent, and although he got his ink, sweat, and blood on real paper now and then he was usually working on a PADD. It's bizarre that so much of this material looks exactly like present-day Earth books! No Arretan energy spheres? Vulcan Kir'Shara-style...

    Spoilers ST Lower Decks - Starships & Technology Season 4 Discussion

    Have we seen if such a tail can grip things... with M'Ress or other Caitians? Is it primarily for balance, do you think?

    Spoilers ST Lower Decks - Starships & Technology Season 4 Discussion

    It would have been a GREAT opportunity to have an engineering logo on Rutherford's version of that backpack, yet such is life. Even though an eyepatch seems like archaic technology, it seems that Ensign Amadou (and Ensign Rutherford, for that matter) can opt for whatever replacement they...

    Spoilers ST Lower Decks - Starships & Technology Season 4 Discussion

    It is unsettling to speculate, but it strikes me as quite likely that the (very modern?) holo-emitters on the Drookmani ship were probably salvaged from the Solvang.

    Spoilers ST Lower Decks - Starships & Technology Season 4 Discussion

    Captain Ramsey claimed Borg smell like "old garbage bags" in "Much Ado About Boimler". Whether she and T'Lyn are only experiencing this smell in holodeck simulations, or have actively encountered functioning or non-functioning Borg drones is unclear to me. But it absolutely sounds like Borg are...

    Now I'm expecting to see a character called <ole, since that's my most common way to mistype my first name!

    Wolf 359 Prelude, Parts I and II

    Outstanding work! I agree that AI voice actors are somewhat distracting, I'm now picturing the Jouret IV colonists as bored Bynars or a couple of Echo pucks. Two Melbournes (or one Melbourne and a Roma with an old paint job!) is a fine idea! Now what is the "USS USS Bellerophon"? I adore these...

    Spoilers ST Strange New Worlds - Starships and Technology Season Two Discussion

    My check of the alternate future seen in ‘A Quality of Mercy’ shows the piano-like ribbed console at 23:10 and 29:53, and I think during Una’s arrest back in the “real” timeline, too. Maybe it’s always been like that and I just got too excited at the sight of Cali-class invaders from the second...

    PIC S3 Ships & Tech

    Based on the Fleet Formation Borg attack, I think it's fair to imagine Earth's planetary shield englobes the whole planet and functions like the shield gate at Scarif, which depending on your perspective might seem more technologically advanced than you might expect from a society that recently...

    Will Sam Beckett Return Home? NBC Orders Quantum Leap Reboot Pilot

    I'm not sure that "Mirror Image" spells anything out explicitly, you might as well conclude that Donald Bellisario is personally sending Dr. Sam "Becket" through time. But... either a nigh-omniscient Don Bellisario's dad-like Pennsylvania bartender named Albert was leaping Sam around...

    Will Sam Beckett Return Home? NBC Orders Quantum Leap Reboot Pilot

    Martinez's dialogue puts "The Machine" and "The Accelerator" in place of what Sam and Al might have called Time, Fate, or God. Is it The Accelerator that is nudging people?

    If I read those tweets right, the museum display model of the Saratoga is kind of a full-size kit bash Starfleet made out of other ships!

    "359: A Star Trek Fan Production"

    That's very satisfying! Something of a continuity patch on VOY's 'Unity' and 'Infinite Regress', a deft depiction of the relentless, heretofore undetected sphere hoovering up the survivors of the battle. Such menace! Voice cast includes several podcasters from the 'Greatest Trek', who have...
