Nah, you just have to act like you do.
Never Not Funny. It’s a Podcast where Tig and the guy from Rent (forgot his name. Also a huge Kevin Spacey fan) have guest hosted multiple times. Jon Hamm from Mad Men and Tag is another.
Tig who? Never heard of them.
Tig Notaro. I just know she is a comedian who had cancer a few years back.
It’s one of the oldest Anerican podcasts. I became a fan of them through Conan a few years ago.
Nah. I'm too busy researching the late 17th century. Ollie Cromwell was a despicable shit.Give it about 5 and a half months, you'll know then.
She's a popular guest on the talk show circuit. Had a tv series on Amazon. Several stand up specials on cable. Been nominated for an Emmy and a Grammy.
Well, It can't be help. Because technobabble is Star Trek, and Star Trek is technobabble.
What happen if Star Trek doesn't use technobabble anymore? The fans will cry,"That's not Star Trek!" And they pointed to a Star Trek Clone from another studio that has massive Technobabble and said,"That's more Star Trek than Star Trek itself."
No. If this statement were true, I’d have stopped watching Trek in the 70s (not long after I started). Technobabble is an element of Trek, always at its best in minimalist fashion and should NEVER be more than a minor, occasional flavour. When used too emphatically, as in Berman Trek far too often, it’s akin to drowning a salad in so much dressing that no meaningful flavour from its ingredients can be discerned.
But some technobabble is a must.
This is Trek gold!
A scene like that, once per 10-15 episodes? Sure. When it’s three in the same episode? Not so much.
Laughed out loud when Picard quickly cut Data off as he was about to double down on O'Brien's BS with some "theoretical" BS of his own. Jean-Luc wasn't having it.
I've always thought that Lavar Burton was the best technobabbler in the franchise, followed by Brent Spiner.
That’s what makes the scene work.
Engineering feet would land her in the medical field. Performing an engineering feat would be more in line with what is expected of a Starfleet engineer.
She must have specialized in zenobiology, why go that far, then switch, makes no sense.
