That was the abandoned solution, the actual solution was to merge his program with the specialized diagnostic and repair matrix.
Not this episode, but it was stated to be in the Delta Quadrant before.
Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x08 – “The Life of the Stars”
4/10 too boring for me, good idea but just I was trying not to fall asleep. Never heard of the play so that went right over my British head.
No new ships this episode other than the SFA shuttle in a little more detail.
Did the Doctor just wear the same uniform during Sam’s childhood?
Why can’t Tarima wear a standard cadet uniform?
I don’t mind the class cohorts being small in this ep — presumably Tilly had like eight lessons with various cohorts per day, covering all the students.

I’ve heard about all of these, but never read or seen productions of them. I guess I mostly must have heard about them on US American TV shows and movies. “Our Town” I straight up had never heard about before today, though. We read stuff like Goethe’s “Faust” and “Die Leiden des jungen Werthers” (“The Sorrows of Young Werther“), Berthold Brecht’s “Die Dreigroschenoper” (“The Threepenny Opera”) and Gerhart Hauptmann’s “Die Ratten” (“The Rats”) in school. Then later in advanced English courses we would read mainly Shakespeare.
Really? It’s been a while. But it definitely ends with the Doctor getting a soft reset, doesn’t it?
I don’t think I remember this. Which episode was that mentioned? I’d like to check it out. The MA article on Kasq doesn’t seem to mention that piece of information either.
Also 90210 was a very popular and critically acclaimed show in the Genre SFA if in. So it's not actually the insult some people seem to think
I actually didn't mean her(Tarima) but the adults, and it isnt a SFA problem but shows in general.
But yeah would be easy to assume it ment Tarima
As opposed to "Conscience of the King" milking "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" for all it was worth?
(Another one of my favorite Trek episodes, btw.)
In that case I understand it even less, since Tilly, Ake and Reno having a drink isn’t really framed as drinking in a “tough situation”. My reading was that they had a drink just to celebrate being together.
Exactly. Like McCoy bringing Kirk a bottle of Romulan Ale for his birthday in The Wrath of Khan.
It was a social ritual, not a case of people of drowning their sorrows in a bottle or using alcohol to cope.
(Meanwhile, Dr. Boyce was prescribing Pike a stiff martini as far back as the "The Cage" -- and that was the first STAR TREK scene ever filmed.)
In which episode was this stated?
Naah it is more the equivalent of the old "I need a smoke"
In the social setting getting the "one with a proof" is like "we need a strong one" and I am counting the previous episodes too.
Sad Ake with a drink in front of the rainy window and one before that with the recording from brakka.
No one there is getting drunk but...
Same with the old cigarete scenes it should just not really be a thing that often
Also it is a minor nitpick and not my main issue with the episodes.
I do not really care what is star trek or not although while we are at that I did like that Pike had more of a cooking focus when he needed to talk with someone
Although that can be a bit over the top too

I had heard of 'Our Town' but had no idea what it was about and had zero awareness of the themes. But I got the gist of it and I actually really like the play and characters being dissected by the cadets. Even though it was Tilly trying to get them to emotionally cathart, it reminded me a lot of studying English literature in High School which was my favourite subject.
The cadets from that Academy episode of DISCO?
Never seen or read the play. I know its a community theatre staple
I remember that production! I think that was my first exposure to Holbrook as an actor. (Then later I saw the older Hollywood version with the make-the-audience-feel-better ending.).
I definitely had both literature and art required classes in college, but that was the mid/late eighties, so I imagine things have
It's a play I've always heard lots and lots about but was never in back in school and I've never seen it performed live, but Our Town is a play title I grew up knowing.
That's surprising.
That's not really my favorite TOS episode. But, giving a general Shakespeare vibe is a lot different than dredging a classic but not overly well known play (today at least) for its core meaning. We got some strange acting theater class thing with an annoying Tilly. And I'm not a Tilly hater.
YMMV of course. But this one didn't work for me. Conscience of the King was a bit better but still not great because it used more famous source material mainly for the atmosphere. The other elements in CotK worked better too, such as the acting. In this episode, some of the acting was notably sub par (mainly the Betazoid).
I liked that Darem referenced his experiences from last week’s episode when analyzing the motivation of that character from the play. It was a small moment, but I appreciated it.
Loved the awkward hug / handshake / little dance SAM did with Ocam when she returned. After her having now spent something at least resembling an actual childhood and adolescence (even if they of course only managed to do it in a ridiculously sci-fi way) I’m much more open to the idea that they could have something like a romantic experience together.
Somehow that scene of Genesis being there for Tarima when she comes home drunk touches me on a deep level. It strikes me as a very real and grounded experience young people at that age can have. I know I certainly did. Not even necessarily the drunk part of it, but the emotional breakdown with a friend around aspect.

Why? I wouldn’t find it all that surprising if you hadn’t heard of all of the plays I mentioned in that post. And yet they are practically all pieces of world literature. It’s just that our respective cultural upbringings were likely very much centered around plays important to the places we grew up in.
Spock used to get special uniforms because of the ears.
Star Trek really isn't about the "learning of and exploring the galaxy". That's just the place were characters and character are examined.
Settle down grandpa.
My decades old experience too.
Depends on the neighborhood.
He's not American.
