    Personal transporters---what??

    Maybe it's Terran boot heels that are the real advanced tech here. ;)

    MemoryAlpha editor refuses to change Adira's Gender to "Non-Binary"

    It took maybe three minutes of searching for the word "human" in the transcript for the TNG episode Where no one has Gone Before. Another minute to copy/paste the line and write the post. The "why" is because it is germane to the discussion that Memory Alpha lists vital information about a...

    Personal transporters---what??

    With a whole lot of inconsistencies and specialized attributes thrown in for specific plot purposes. TNG:Realm of Fear, for example. From what we are told about transporter tech, how can Barclay grab someone out of the transporter stream in mid-transport?

    MemoryAlpha editor refuses to change Adira's Gender to "Non-Binary"

    Good point, but Kosinski did say something that appeared to confirm he was human -- or at least very strongly implied it. He said: "In order to save time, my assistant is going to lay in my base formulas more rapidly than any human being possibly could, including even myself." However, your...

    Personal transporters---what??

    Could be. I mean, is it a self-contained personal transporter or is it a remote control button for a transporter that is elsewhere?

    S03 E13: Why does USS Discovery inside looks like Borg cube?

    I was fine with the earlier times DIS showed the funhouse turboshafts. I just told myself "Meh -- it's just a stylized/metaphorical/symbolic representation of the inner workings of the ship and not meant to be a realistic depiction." Well, they blew that rationalization out of the water. :vulcan:

    S03 E13: Why does USS Discovery inside looks like Borg cube?

    I'm surprised we didn't see the Cloister Room, swimming pool, sitting room, and dressing rooms. Oh, wait -- wrong show.

    Spoilers There will never be Ferengi in DISCO

    I think he was speaking metaphorically and from the perspective of the writers -- not an actual in-universe thing. Star Trek has often dealt in contemporary (to us) social archetypes through the different species they include. The DSC writers wanted an archetype of a slithery, conniving...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x13 - "That Hope Is You, Part 2"

    The styling of Thornhill's (Grant's) gray flannel suit he wore in 1959 would still look great today.

    Spoilers Interesting theory about the Kelpiens

    I was speculating this also during that episode. They kept saying that they were detecting one life sign, but they never specified who that one life sign was. My speculation at the time I was watching the episode was that the monster was Su'Kal (perhaps mutated due to the radiation) and the...

    Spoilers Nilsson to Ina switcheroo...

    Fun Fact: Lt. Hadley and Lt. Leslie each appeared in more TOS episodes than Sulu -- and only a a handful fewer than Scotty or Uhura. Hadley was in 60 episodes and Leslie was in 57. Sulu was in 51, Scotty 65, and Uhura 67. Granted, Hadley and Leslie were not always specifically named, but I...

    Spoilers Nilsson to Ina switcheroo...

    TOS: There are 438 people on the Enterprise; so there are crew members we never see. Also TOS: But Chekov wasn't part of the crew during Space Seed! :lol:

    The music in this show is obnoxiously.....

    True, but it's not the choice of music that bothers me. It's the choice to have music practically the entire time. I believe the last episode, like many the other episodes, had music 100% of the time -- or close to it. There have been a couple of scenes this season where there was no music...

    An issue with Adira and Gray...and Stamets

    While it does often seem he is only humoring them, it's hard to tell for sure. It might be that because Stamets has no experience at all with Trills, he thinks it is not that too abnormal for Adira to be seeing Gray. As for why is Adira seeing Gray and whether this is a symptom of a larger...

    The music in this show is obnoxiously.....

    I wouldn't say it is too loud to hear the dialogue, but the music is constant. That is, there is virtually no part of the audio that does not include music. I usually just tune it out (no pun intended) and that works. However, if I sit and think about (i.e., overthink) the fact that there is...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x10 - "Terra Firma, Part 2"

    Maybe, but two things: We only saw one day-in-the-life of the Guardian in TOS (granted, and another in TAS). We don't know if the limited amount of what we saw is everything the GoF is and does. Since we have only limited info about "him", there's nothing wrong with expanding the GoF to be...

    Poll Where does she end up? (spoilers)

    If they want to keep the characters separate, then they could be kept separate. That is to say, a Picard-era Section-31 show does not need to have Picard in it. And Seven/Fenris Rangers (assuming their potential inclusion in an "S31" show that might perhaps take place in the PIC era) don't...

    Poll Where does she end up? (spoilers)

    I agree with this possibility. In my wild speculation theory, Giorgiou will occasionally use the Fenris Rangers as her muscle and to do her leg work.
