Seems it’s a promo for season 2 of TOS and the show’s new timeslot on Fridays. The lettering is a nod to Laugh-In, and the whole timeslot shuffle is a long story.
Also I see Google has completely given up on quotation marks around phrases. So that’s fun.
Star Trek DS9: Crossroads of Time on Super Nintendo.
My favorite memory of it was from the first day: a friend telling me I couldn’t use the same phaser twice against Borg drones. I was confident they wouldn’t put a detail like like that in a game. Not two seconds later, the very next drone blocked my phaser. (Clearly one of Trek’s ongoing lessons in the arrogance of man. Ahem.)
Seems silly looking back to think game devs wouldn’t care as much (or more!) as I did about Star Trek to add in ideas like that.
The intel was “someone’s targeting ex-Starfleet officers”. The dialogue then suggests Starfleet command put together the list of former officers. They didn’t necessarily pull those names from the intel.
I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one who got that mixed up. I had to rewatch the bridge scene to understand they were tracking the ship, and not some psychic outbreak of heightened emotions.
Also, I just now looked ahead. Is the next title really a Garth Marenghi reference? Because that’s amazing.
That it’s not immediately blasting every ship it comes near. It was either oblivious to the Orions’ presence or ignoring them outright, until they were foolish enough to threaten it.
The Klingon breakdown in the final song about had me laughing so hard I was almost in tears. I appreciate using the songs to move various character storylines forward. It feels like everyone ended the episode in a much better place, outside of Spock. …and maybe M’Benga…he didn’t seem thrilled with the singing, though he certainly had some fancy footwork during the final song.
About the bed: There seems to be an ongoing sub-plot about random systems on the ship glitching out. I’ve seen speculation they’re quietly setting up some kind of AI takeover issue later on. Note the odd shot the episode ends on, with the bed’s info screen flickering again.
