[Charles Phipps]

Peanut Hamper needs to become the Queen of the Borg or Empress of the Mirror Universe.

I'm cool with either.

Give her a little cape to flutter as she floats by.

 

[Dr. San Guinary]

So who's the third? AGIMUS?

 

[ToddCam]

So who's the third? AGIMUS?

Check out the preview thread.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

This should be a fun one.

 

[NCC-73515]

If the mystery ship is simply Badgey's ship they've spoiled it with the title. I still think it's a whale probe

 

[NCC-73515]

The first Bynar ship!

Is Hamper's voice a new one? Funny that she's brown now and all that previous color was just a uniform

 

[NCC-73515]

Something for people to use in discussions...

Exocomps are cleaning windows now

And of course the good part of Badgey is Goodgey

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Goodgey won’t be a good guy in the long run. That boy ain’t right.

So the ships/crews are being taken. Is Kivas Fajo on the loose?

 

[Voltron64]

Dr. Manhattan Badgey might be the most hilarious gag of the season.

"Nothing ends, Rutherford. Nothing ever ends."

 

[KamenRiderBlade]

I definitely didn't think AI could ascend to a plane of higher being.

That's definitely something I thought was reserved for "Organic Beings".

 

[ToddCam]

So Badgey is not behind the ship thefts (as expected, the destruction of the ships was a ruse). At this point I'm guessing the crews are being held in stasis, and such will happen to Cerritos.

Do you think it's comfortable to hug a Badgey? At first glance, I'd think his edges would be hard and sharp. But he also seems kind of elastic.

 

[Search4]

Excellent outing! Good fun and loved the logical badge. Time to get to the season story though.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Crying shame Peanut Hamper has been redeemed.

Rutherford seemed comfortable with the hug. I suppose Badgey is as thin as an iPad.

I wonder what Pike's crew would have made of Badgey had he gone into the portal instead of Boimler and Mariner.

 

[thribs]

I lost it at the basketball court

 

[Destructor]

Hi TrekBBS friends,

Thanks for all your help last week, it was very useful. If I could ask again: Spoiling as little as possible, could someone give me a heads up if this week's episode contains any gratuitous sex or violence?

Thank you!

V’Ger would like a word…

 

[thribs]

I also liked the joke that he can fool people he’s good by changing the colour of his bulb. Reminded me of a certain other series.

Hm... that might be too 'biologically - istical'?
After all, we have no real basis for comparison to think that biology is the only prerequisite for evolution (from real life we only have biology for observation - well, and emerging technology).

Even technology evolves... and can do so on its own.
Plus, humans are essentially biological machines. UFP technology (when you think about it) can mimick biology to a really exquisite (practically indistinguishable) detail - its ridiculously capable (that's for sure), but its full capabilities are seldom (if ever) used.

It was a good episode though. Nice to see some closure on Badgey and other megalomaniac AI's.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

I was thinking maybe the ships were being digitized ala: V'ger instead of destroyed, but stolen is just as interesting.

The evil computer encounter group was almost as funny as this...
