I thought they were DOT robots.

confirmed by one of the VFX guys to be DOTS

Those are some big DOTS at the scale of the Titan.

They were described as "Heavy Duty".

Is that your PC way of calling the DOTs "FAT"?

I think the kids call it "thicc" these days.

"PHAT"

I like this new scale. I wonder if it means the TMP Enterprise is larger now too.

One size does not fit all.

My 305 Notes:

- So are we saying that Raffi's mobile emitter can handle hardlight like the EMH? It's similarly-shaped but not the same as the "original". Regardless you'd think, especially for an intel op, that you'd place it on the inside of the holographic clothing so it wouldn't be so easily hit. You'd think SOMEONE would've made that recommendation by now.

- By the time the Dominion War started, DS9 had largely abandoned the notion of blood screenings, but you could argue it was more of a moral decision instead of a practical one (they ain't gonna scare us no more, etc.), plus of course the writers not wanting to have it as part of standard ops. Papa Sisko once suggested that a Changeling could store blood inside itself and let it out on cue as needed, and even Changeling Bashir tried the tactic (arguably as a fake-out tactic). Here we see that they were still effective or at least judged to be so by Starfleet, between this and some sort of imaging chamber they use when they first report aboard (not related to Quantum Leap, I expect).

- Krinn uses a DS9-era Ferengi hand phaser, the one that was originally made from molds of old Robotech toys. His gang uses Romulan rifles from S1 of this show. Elsewhere we see a Starfleet FC-era rifle (or at least Beverly's pump-action variant) being brandished openly on the streets. Maybe there are consumer-edition weapons, like the AR-15? Raffi's Starfleet-issue rifle is also from the first season, and comes with an English-language scope interface to boot.

- Someone left the holodeck on from last week? And at Guinan's? Power is clearly not an issue anymore.

- There's no shortage of examples of holodeck access points hidden inside active programs (most recently on LDS), and here we have a screen conveniently hidden behind the bar. Did Picard know this from last week, or did he know where it was from previous visits to the program elsewhere? Or did Guinan actually have a screen down there in the real version?

- Intrepid shuttle is like the Saavik model we saw earlier this year (and from 201, maybe?) However this one has different chairs, and fewer of them.

- At one point the Intrepid weapons power up, and you can even see the end tips of the upper phaser strips glow up as though she was about to fire from them in the TNG-era way, even though we've never seen any ship need to hold power at that point - maybe it was just an intimidation tactic. In any case, in the next shot the phaser strips are no longer powered and she instead fires really slow torpedoes.

Mark

Was the Raffi with the holoemitter one of Rios' former holocrew repurposed? The original Raffi is overlooking the scene but not obviously controlling the image with any remote control device.

Possibly the most foolish place to keep a safety toggle on a simluated reality is knee-height near alcohol.

Which is why you the Titan is scaled up

Or...and just hear me out on this...you manufacture different sized DOTs based upon ship size.

I know it's crazy talk.

No more crazier than the size of the Titan being 560m despite having identical features to the TMP Enterprise. Scale up or down the DOT. Doesn't matter.

Or have multiple models of DOTS.

 

[blssdwlf]

Or have multiple models of DOTS.

All approximately the same size in the scene. Yep. Model A can have a phaser torch while Model B has the searchlight.

So long as Model C has the whiskey.

Hmm... no those are the St Bernard models. C is the arts and crafts DOT.

 

[matthunter]

DOTs clearly operate on the same shifting scale basis as BoPs.

Coincidence?

LOL... and apparently so does the TMP saucer section.

Proof that DOTS were once a Klingon tech and stolen by the Federation!

A thought occurred to me this morning.

The next episode is called "The Bounty".

We know we're meeting La Forge in this one. We know he's stationed at the Fleet Museum.

What do you bet we're gonna see the gang borrow a certain 100+-year-old Bird-of-Prey to reach Daystrom Station undetected?

 

[Dukhat]

There’s no more Treaty of Algeron. I would think they could get a cloaking device pretty much anywhere rather than stealing a 100 year old ship from a museum.
