LoglineSeries Finale.

They were too far out for their tractor beam, because they missed due to the jump inaccuracy. The Breen dropped out of warp much closer to it, and were able to snag it with theirs.
My birthday was last week (May 17). Decided to get my first tattoo, which I wanted to be Trek related. As a kid my family had a VHS tape with a recording of “All Good Things…” (and for unknown reasons, “Caretaker”). So I have seen the episode a dozen times. It is my favorite episode of the franchise. The image I’m...
LoglineOn the way to the next clue, the U.S.S. Discovery is sabotaged by a mysterious weapon, leaving Captain Burnham, Rayner, and Stamets as the only crew members who can possibly save the ship in time....
On rewatch, I wonder if he was on the way to suggesting someone like Book when he was interrupted
Agree with this, it seemed like he was using Book for context, not for a real suggestion. Saru respects what Booker has done for everyone, but I don't think he's a real big fan of the guy, and certainly doesn't think he should be the XO of a Federation ship.
The title is a play on the term “pathological fallacy”, where traits seen in one person or group are extrapolated to be part of the entire population that person belongs to....
They were looking for clues to the attacks on the ships, playing the part of party girls to get in places they probably normally wouldn’t be able to. They went full into it when they got near T’Lyn
I’m not sure if there is or not, but it seems like there should be a way to link a post that links to it on whatever instance of Lemmy we’re on instead of hard linking to the main… hmmm
" … delinquents, pirates, slave traders." (DSC s1e15, although the same perception about Orions is held throughout Star Trek).
It seems that Orion culture internally looks down on those who want to be in the sciences, but it’s Tendi’s grandmother that shows the galaxy that they are not all just pirates. Some several years after DSC S1, in SNW S2.
Collectively, each of the races in Star Trek have their own thing that they do. Individually, some lean more into it than others, but that’s the way they go, pretty much.
I just started watching Voyager on Paramount Plus today, and noticed that the first two episodes, which are shown together, are presented as the appropriate 4:3 aspect ratio, but Episode 3 “Parallax” is presented in a distorted 16:9 or 16:10 format. I see no option to change this in Paramount Plus settings, and my Vizio TV...
hmmm. i have an old LG smart TV (webOS v1), I wonder if it would be possible to sideload the Paramount app to it, somehow, and see if it would work… I think it’s currently flagged as requiring webOS v3+
In terms of our current computers, you’re probably looking at something like yottabytes … but they don’t seem to store things in bytes at this point, as others say, quads. Which could mean that they’ve knocked the basic storage unit size from ‘byte’ to ‘4 bytes’ … A current 64-bit system can address 16 exabytes of memory, but if you were to knock that upward by an exponent of 4, you could address 65k exabytes, or 0.06 yottabytes.
That’s if we’re talking about memory capacities. Warm storage capability / use tends to be significantly larger than memory use, so I’d hazard a guess that the total storage capacity of a starship’s computers might be in the area of a few yottabytes.
This is assuming that “quad” is used because more space was required for memory architecture, and rather than upgrade to 128-bit or 256-bit computers, necessitating a huge amount of code refactoring, they just increased the minimum storage length. Of course, that would also realistically require a huge amount of code refactoring, but we’re all just making stuff up here, right? :D
LoglineAn accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike....
My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.
The first 3 LD episodes are pretty brutal if you’re not tuned into the frenetic pacing of something like Rick and Morty. I would not put Simpsons, Bobs, KOTH in the same zone. HOWEVER, it’s worth getting tuned into. And if you really want some great info, dig up the old site’s posts by /u/USSBurritoTruck (if they are still there) about Canon Connections especially in Lower Decks, because there’s a TON.
or just search “easter eggs in lower decks S1E4” or whatever. But USSBurritoTruck is the best.
The first several episodes of Orville I’ve described as “what if Star Trek had dick jokes and occasionally tapped the well of ex-wife jokes”… but yeah, I loved that too.

And then everyone watching it (which, unlike what you might think from reading this thread, is actually millions of people) would get super pissed when it got cancelled in the middle of a storyline.
You enter the bridge and see the stars zooming by. You sit in the captain’s chair and look at the view screen. You see a planet in the distance. You order the helmsman to set a course for the planet.
scan planet
The sensors indicate that the planet is inhabited. You order the crew to beam down to the planet to investigate.
beam people from the planet to the ship
The crew beams back to the ship with the survivors. You order the ship to leave the planet and head back to Earth.
who are these survivors
The survivors are a group of humans who were stranded on the planet after their ship crashed. They are grateful to the Enterprise for rescuing them.
beam them into space
You order the crew to beam the survivors into space. The survivors are grateful for your help and promise to return the favor someday.

I would guess that if we see Sarek in this series, it’s going to be either purely through another character’s view, or just mentions. It’s many years off still before Sarek gets over Spock’s decision to join Starfleet, and starts talking to him again.
