Okay, I'll vote. The Cage Enterprise is the most advanced starship in Star Trek. What do I mean by most advanced? It is the least handicapped/encumbered by 20th/21st century science and technology. Every version since has been compromised in some way. The worst offender (and also the best...

What does "canon" have to do with my post? The plot of "Return to Tomorrow" is building android bodies to house the "souls" of Sargon's people. Kirk and Lester switch souls in "Turnabout Intruder". As mentioned in post #17438.

It's established within the Canon of Trek. It's not the first time that a 'DisEmbodied Soul' would get shunted into a 'Physical Body'. That was a entire Plot Arc for DISCO for Adira / Stamets / Culber to find a way to put Gray's Soul into a body. Which they reused the Golem Tech from ST:PIC to...

Taking stock: I've modified my ratings before the finale: 03x01 - 7 03x02 - 7.5 03x03 - 7 03x04 - 7 03x05 - 9 03x06 - 9.5 03x07 - 9 03x08 - 5 03x09 - 8 03x10 -? Clearly a pickup at mid-season 4 me, but somewhat uneven.

Totally don't agree. They were not perfect characters. Next gen was in the final days of stagnant character development for these kinds of shows. Where things kind of reset every epsode. By the end of the series things had changed In scripted TV and it began to show in TNG and DS9 was when it...

I'm glad we FINALLY get a heavy Ortegas episode. This has been long overdue. There are clear parallels to multiple episodes of the franchise... "The Enemy", "Darmok", and "DAWN" were clearly where the main story got its inspiration from. Other parallels were more subtle: "THE GALILEO SEVEN"...

50 Years Ago This Week September 7 Number One Observatory Circle was dedicated as the official residence of the Vice-President of the United States. Previously, American vice-presidents either already had homes near Washington, D.C., or rented temporary lodging. The first residents were...

It was a happy one (I’m always happy to reach another one 😉). Dryden was exceptional, both on and off the ice. Even if you aren’t into sports, I strongly recommend his book, The Game. I think it offers some of the best insights into why hockey is so important in and for Canada, despite its now...

I’m not really into sports, but the name seemed vaguely familiar, so I looked him up on Wikipedia, and it turns out he was a Liberal MP for a number of years, so that’s probably where I heard the name from. At any rate, I’m very sorry for your loss. It is always very sad when one’s hero passes...

No, they didn't. The reference in Foundation was to "the cities of Anacreon [being] warmed by the burning of coal and oil" because they'd lost the expertise to build nuclear reactors. The book didn't specify what powered their ships. But hyperdrive was generally portrayed in the series as...

All true. But the statement: I don't think I'd have to throw a rock too far to hit a few fans around here who would call the 90's peak Star Trek. (Not me.) I mean, I SUPPOSE that my favorite movies are when they weren't making TV shows and my favorite shows are when they weren't making...

...that market. It would remain the most widely-watched until it was knocked off the pedestal by, IIRC, Xena: Warrior Princess. DS9 beat TNG's ratings with its premiere, then trended steadily downward for the remainder of its run. In similar fashion, Voyager debuted somewhat above DS9's ratings...

...in my profile. Like, I'm not trying to be a bitch here, but I think it's fair to assume thanks to all the context clues. I think number ratings are stupid so I don't employ them, but it's a pretty awful ending to an otherwise good episode, so I'm not surprised that someone used a 4.5 rating...

Ahh but you said queer. You said it was "queer" episode with a "queer-presenting" character. And being queer is not the exclusive domain of women or yours to gatekeep. So yes, those pesky queer men will have some opinions on queerness too. I strongly disagree with your interpretation, but as...

SEASON 1, EPISODE 5: CHOOSE YOUR PAIN A list of links to the episodes rewatched so far can be found in the initial post. Today's art comes from Studio JJ's Retro Poster Project. Rating: 7.5/10. TL;DR: Three weeks after the breakthrough with the spore drive, Discovery is operating at a...

Well I would disagree to some degree. For example if for example SNW season 4 had 400 plus ratings for every episode or higher, and that they still killed the show. It would certainly give credence that the reason it was cancelled was less to due with finding an audience and more to do with...

...top ten. So becuase of that once Paramount signed a deal with Nielsen to release numbers we have had many weeks were we don't know what the ratings were just that they didn't meet the threshold of that week, and had to have done worse than what ever that threshold for that week was (this...

Eh. The show's ending after Season 5 anyways. ENT languished in the basement of the Nielsens for a good chunk of its own network run and TOS peaked at #52 in the year-end numbers, and that was during its first season. The numbers mean little to nothing to me when the show's fate has already...

Can you elaborate on this? I'm always really interested to hear how streaming Trek shows are doing but the statistics seem so opaque.

Ratings plummeted, while as I suspected it didn't track in the top ten. The threshold to make the top ten was considerably lower than I anticipated. The show failed to deliver even 279 million minutes. A Mammoth week to week decline.
