    People with ABI or knowing someone with ABI, how was Russ's performance in "Riddles"?

    I mean, essentially he's portraying someone with an acquired brain injury - though memory alpha describes it as losing control over his emotions and losing his memory. Portrayed in a sci-fi way, perhaps?

    Which episode was this?

    "When an alien life form takes over the ship and cuts off all sensors and lights (leaving Neelix alone in the darkened mess hall with no idea what's going on around him), he's a quivering mess until Tuvok comes to guide him to safety."

    How is the holodeck able to recreate, say, Game 7 of a World Series from 1964 with so much accuracy?

    considering the technology of the time? Unless the creators of these types of programs actually travel back in time to the events to "film" them? Or anything like that, really. Even if we had a holodeck today, we wouldn't be able to recreate the first soccer match in the 1800's.

    Spoilers Did Picard not have the ability to "order" Rios to *spoiler* at the end of the season?

    To stay behind in 2024? That's the most obvious risk of timeline change. When Picard lets the escape pods go in First Contact, he tells people to find a quiet corner of the earth. I just remembered that Rios was in starfleet. But even if he weren't, does a federation citizen abide by things...

    In-universe explanation for all the uniform changes from in the last half of 24th century?

    We've had, what, six or so? And the longest-lasting uniform must have been the all red jacket ones... 2282-2340's? I mean, we went from the 2360's tng one, to the ds9 ones, to the first contact ones in just ten years.

    Spoilers Don't put spoilers in the thread title

    Raffi knows about Datas' second death, she'd expect him to look the same? Data being able to age was only mentioned in a throwaway line of tng, probably not something that well known. This would have been a great time to address why all soong generations look alike. Also, why does Adam Soong...

    How would the series be different if Garak was successful in obliterating the Founders' new planet?

    Let's assume somehow Worf was subdued by Garak or that he agreed with it. The Vorta don't have their gods and the Jem'Hadar end up killing themselves. But then I guess there's the hundred who wouldn't be affected...

    Did Brent Spiner have de-ageing effects added in season 1?

    I'm not very perceptive at this, for instance I didn't notice Johnathon Frakes' ageing in the ent finale.

    A call girl rejected my business because I had foil on my windows, how am I meant to feel?

    It's summer here and someone who is much more adult than me suggested putting it on the windows during the summer, because he did that when he did mining in the desert. The call girl asked if my place was the one with "boarded up" windows, I said yes rather than give the long-winded...

    Sensible reason for...

    ...an aged human-looking Lore in starfleet uniform? After having emotion for a while, he wants to more accurately emulate a human?

    Do we have sources for all the stock footage in Random Thoughts?

    There are scenes from First Contact, Generations, Event Horizon and... Predator I think. But I have no idea where the Dobermans or police in front of the bank of america come from.

    That Sliders episode with the banned constitution is weird.

    First, not an american here, but from what I've found from a month in socal... they don't exist for more than a lucky few. Were the 90's really somewhere that liberal types like the Sliders look up to it? Also is the previous world identical to this one, minus the bearded women? That would be...

    How old is the planetary union in The Orville?

    They mention not having their version of the prime directive until after 2235 in the last episode.

    Blogger says being like Troi is one of the goals of his life

    https://www.hobotraveler.com/empathy/empathy-for-intentions-of-people.php I posted this guy on here long ago, also talking about Troi. How does his understanding of Trek measure up?

    I have a bit of a problem with La'an being bullied (And Spock in st2009)

    I don't believe children in the 23rd century would do that. Like, in the present day, if I made a paper plane that didn't fly properly, someone might say "I can make my plane better than yours". But someone with more evolved sensibilities might say "Your center of gravity is off, and your wing...

    Is this season meant to have a 24-like pace?

    It's like each episode only covers six hours or something. I mean, ep3 or 4, we were told the launch was in two days. Since then we've had the gala, Renee going into quarantine, Picard getting arrested, fighting all those borg, and only now are we moving on to showing the launch.

    How did the confederation pretty much conquer the entire galaxy? I don't buy the time needed.

    I mean, what, did they get transwarp instead of warp in 2063? The federation charted 25% of the galaxy by 2364... I don't see how the confederation in another 40 years could have explored enough of it to kill off every major power. I think it's safe to assume that the Bajoran wormhole is...

    Why do the trailers claim to be in 4k when the show is shot at 1080p?

    I don't have a source for that claim but there's certainly no 4k option on amazon prime. None of the episodes from y'arr sources are ever above 1080p, either.

    Spoilers Trailer scene I haven't seen explained yet

    Picard is arrested? But I've never seen an interrogation room with a load of file boxes... I doubt this could even be a scene from next week when we explore his mind.
