I really like this.

Turns out it's the same company. The Yukon Striker was built right after the Valkyria.

hanke OP ,

Cool. And smart by them 😄

Reminded me a lot of Discovery. What a cool episode for Zero - their character design is quite fitting I think and looks good. Wonder if we'll ever see that in live action. @startrek

Yes!

I'm not sure exactly what I thought was going to be behind the mid 20th century vault door, but it certainly wasn't Wesley Crusher. I didn't hate it either. Was the sweater that he was wearing one that he wore in TNG? It seemed very familiar.

The Loom are terrifying. We've seen "getting erased completely from history" before with the Krenim time weapon (VOY: Year of Hell), but this version seemed so much worse to me.

I loved the bit regarding all the separate realities, including the "oops you aren't supposed to know that" regarding the mycelial plane.

Seeing Janeway take on the Loom by herself in a shuttle reminded me of her taking on the macrovirus in VOY: Macrocosm.

What a ride these two episodes were.

A few of my favorite moments:

  • Gillian (the whale!) piloting the ship through the wormhole
  • Wesley finally calling his mom, but then showing up behind her as a surprise
  • The tie-in to the Picard synth attach at the end where the crew reacts to seeing the Mars attack on the news
  • Janeway pushing to continue some scientific and humanitarian missions

I do have a question though. I have been getting "these two people seem to want to get together vibes" in between Chakotay and Janeway starting in the episode "Cracked Mirror". Was this just wishful thinking on my part?

Speaking of relationships, were holo-Janeway and the Doctor flirting?

Regrettably, I'm in Canada, so it will be a while before I can...acquire the episodes. I'm looking forward to diving into these threads when I eventually watch the thing!

End0fLine , to Star Trek in Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Prodigy | 2x14 "Cracked Mirror"

I want to make sure that I understood what was happening in the scene where the turbo lift door opens and they see an alternate reality... Those were the Enderprizians from "All the World's a Stage", right?

Since we never got a mirror universe episode in Voyager (not counting "Living Witness"), I enjoyed Mulgrew and Beltran getting to give us a quick glimpse of what it would have been like.

I loved the callback from Chakotay regarding the events from the VOY episode "Shattered".

Gonna sound racist but deal with it.

I constantly meet asian developers (Singapore , India, China, etc) with this edgelord personality. They come to American conferences and meetups, say some wild sexist shit, and someone has to politely let them know not to.

Some backtrack. Some apologize. Some literally freeze up and pretend like it didn't happen.

Maggoty ,

That last part is a face saving culture reaction. If you're feeling culturally sensitive the thing to do is just move on and see if they do it again.

Many of my guy coworkers have been (and are) sort of misogynistic, and homophobic (I'm in India). It makes me really uncomfortable. Might start reporting people to HR one day.

drathvedro ,

Just get to know HR first. They might be mysogynists themselves (even if they are female).

We do still live in a bubble in the west. We're fighting for equity across genders and race, while some parts of the world are still questioning if sexual harassment against women at work is really that big of a deal.

End0fLine , to Star Trek in Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Prodigy | 2x01 & 2x02 "Into the Breach"

I probably should have made comments while watching the episodes, as I'm sure I am forgetting a lot of details, but Prodigy seems to have picked up where it left off with regard to the quality of its episodes.

End0fLine ,

I will say that the Voyager-A is a beautiful ship and I hope we get to see more of her.

I hope Robert Beltran isn't around next season. Surely they can recast Chakotay. Maybe give the role to an actual native turtle islander?

Should be age > (my_age / 2) +7

JackbyDev ,

Why would there be an age and my_age column on the table GIRLS?

lennivelkant ,

Good point.

Should be age > (@my_age / 2) +7

FTFOP - now my age is some value defined outside the immediate query.

More likely, the GIRLS would be a view of some table persons and you could query my_age from that table too.

fibojoly ,

Thank you. I assumed the reader would be educated enough to guess I meant a variable.
But yeah, should used @my_age

jol ,

Because for each girl you meet, you might tell her a different age.

JackbyDev ,

Ah, but if we care at all about normalization and that's calculatable from the other columns (it should be) then it shouldn't be a column. Unless it's expensive and this is a view, of course.

Gladaed ,

Or (my_age - 7) * 2 < age < (my_age / 2) +7`

fibojoly ,

Uh, no no. The rule is "half my age plus seven". I've no idea what your other term is supposed to represent.

ji17br ,

He’s saying it goes both ways. The upper limit is a women who you would be half her age plus 7.

This "rule" only works for a small set of ages from 14 ~ 30ish

If you are 14 then the range for "age" is 14 - 14
If you are 30 then the range for "age" is 22 - 46
If you are 40 then the range for "age" is 27 - 66

At 30 the upper level is 16 years different; while it could work it is a big gap to bridge. It only gets worse the older you get.
