Do rocks bend? Pretty sure they just melt, that’s where lava comes from.

Because the star trek transporter is pretty much the definition of deus ex machina, with a particularly lazy deus that only works every few episodes

That solution would require transporters to have a consistent set of abilities across series, when somehow the way they work changes even within the same series

Death is a moving line, even today. There’s a reason doctors don’t declare death until there’s no way to revive a patient. Using that same logic, if there’s a way to revive Neelix / Tuvox, are they dead? It’s going to come down to how you personally define death.

I found the ending somewhat anticlimactic, after having built it up for a few seasons it just ended with a deluded Locarno vs Mariner. Anybody else feel the same way?

That depends on which country you’re driving in

That’s like saying modern technology is bad because some tribesman from the amazon can’t figure them out. It’s just lack of education. Countries all over the world use roundabouts with no issues.

There was an article a few weeks ago about how Netflix only has about a 15% cancellation rate. Unfortunately there was no deep dive into the data, so the figures are suspect. A few factors that weren’t considered:

  • A very significant percentage of Netflix programming is reality TV and cheap junk. This doesn’t get cancelled because well, it’s cheap.
  • Many series don’t get cancelled, they just aren’t renewed. If Netflix tells the producers this is the last season, they’re gonna rush the storyline to some kinda ending regardless of whether it was originally supposed to stretch several more seasons.
