    Any of you New Yorkers been to the new train hall?

    I haven’t been yet - mostly because I don’t have a legitimate reason to visit mid-town anymore (since we work from home every day) and also because I’d prefer to avoid being inside an enclosed space with other people while the pandemic rages. But it looks stunning and I cannot wait for the day...

    Your latest purchases, cont.

    It hasn't been purchased yet - so I may be premature on this - but we decided we are going to buy a car. Historically we haven't felt a need to own a vehicle since driving and parking in Manhattan is inconvenient and we walk or subway everywhere. But COVID has changed the rules. We're tired...

    Your annual vacation/holidays

    We decided not to venture too far away - NY has done a great job at keeping the infection rate low across the state and within the city - so we just rented a house with a pool up in the Catskills for 5 weeks. Took some time off but also worked from up there quite a bit, too. We relished the...

    Section 31: I hope it still happens.

    I would say that I'm not currently excited about a Section 31-themed series, at least not until I hear more about the premise. I think it's a little interesting that Strange New Worlds seems to have leap-frogged over the Section 31 series in terms of the next spin-off on deck. Maybe they're...

    News CBS All Access To Expand

    I suspect the name change may be due to ViacomCBS's desire to have a SVOD service with a global reach. CBS is an American broadcast network - its name does not resonate internationally. Someone who lives in, say, Europe may not know what CBS is nor would they be particularly interested in...

    Justice League official "Zack Snyder" cut on HBO Max

    The DCEU has been a complete disaster for me since it started, so I'm not really emotionally invested in it the same way I am with the MCU. I mostly just find the decision to release the Snyder Cut fascinating more than anything - not because I necessarily care to watch it, but more about how...

    With a COVID-19 related "Trek drought" coming, is it time for CBS to crank out remasters?

    But aren't the HD-remastered episodes of TNG available everywhere? Physical Blu-ray disc as well as multiple streaming platforms (from CBS All Access to Netflix to Amazon, etc.)? What if Trek remastered became an exclusive to CBS All Access (or whatever the product morphs into this summer with...

    With a COVID-19 related "Trek drought" coming, is it time for CBS to crank out remasters?

    One might think that ViacomCBS would consider re-mastering DS9 and VOY as a longevity play given how they view Trek as their crown jewel and that as technology and distribution models change, having these series available for HD (or possibly even 4K) can help to make these old shows more...

    Your latest purchases, cont.

    A desk for our bedroom - seems like we won't be working in an office any time soon (and, honestly, there doesn't seem to be any need to rush back considering that my business unit is functioning just fine in the current situation). I'd been using an old, repurposed IKEA media console with the...

    Your annual vacation/holidays

    It's finally setting in that any significant travel or vacation plans for 2020 are likely off. April is nearly over and thus far I have used 1 day (out of an anticipated 22 days) of vacation/personal time. I am using a sick day on Monday for a much-needed 'mental health' day, fully supported...

    Stay-at-Home Thread

    There are two of us living and working from within a 1-bedroom apartment, so there are definitely times that I feel claustrophobic and anxious. During the day we're both doing our best to work (though focusing is quite challenging) but we are still allowed to go outside, so I take 2-3 walks a...

    What Is The First Thing You Will Do When This COVID-19 is over?

    I will probably take 1-2 days off from work and schedule some much needed self-care: - Back to the gym (my home workouts and jogs in the park are... acceptable... for now, but not the same) - Haircut - Enjoy a few meals inside of restaurants - See a movie or a broadway show - Schedule time...

    Should Picard be the last major show to take place in that time period?

    I think that the time jump between NEM and PIC can actually serve as a nice bridge between old and new - where you can use established characters like Picard, Seven, Riker and Troi to lay a foundation for a new era of series that also introduce new characters like Jurati, Raffi, Rios, etc. Give...

    Spoilers Star Trek Picard Season 2 Hopes and Predictions

    What I would like to see for season 2: - Picard's philosophical struggle with identity in this new synth body - what does it mean to be human? Is he still 100% human? Has his humanity been lessened in some way now that he's died but come back - and into a body that doesn't have the same human...

    Spoilers Jonathan Del Arco as Hugh

    I think Del Arco did a great job with the material he was given, but it was a shame that he didn't get more screen time and development before they killed him off. His scenes with Patrick Stewart were great. I wish he'd been given some material with Jeri Ryan, as well. Watching the two of...

    Poll What do you think of the Starfleet uniforms in Star Trek: Picard?

    While I am eternally grateful that the potential-future uniforms seen in "All Good Things...", "The Visitor" and "Endgame" were thrown into a dumpster fire to never be used on-screen for PIC, I am not exactly loving the new uniform designs that they've revealed. If you took a quick glance and...

    Favorite Movie-Era Starship

    You could easily say that the Enterprise-refit, along with the A, B and E, were all "designed" for the feature films and should be included on the list, along with several new ship classes seen in FC (Akira, Norway, Steamrunner, Saber), the Borg sphere, and then everything that's popped up in...

    Your annual vacation/holidays

    We've been relatively consistent about one major vacation per year, plus long weekends away, side trips, and visits home to our families. We've also established, organically, a trend of planning out a vacation that allows us to do something touristy and something super relaxing (so, visit a...

    Ten Forward Lounge - Miscellaneous General Chat & Welcome Thread

    Hello, everyone. I apparently joined the BBS in 2001 (denial, party of one...). I was active for many, many years before going into retirement in 2013 or so. I've occasionally lurked the board over the years but didn't post anything until about a week ago, after watching the premiere of PIC...
