wahming , to Star Trek in ‘Star Trek’ Fan Leaves Behind a Collection Like No One Has Done Before

Neat!

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

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.

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

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

Hate to say your spoiler tag doesn’t seem to be working on my mobile

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?

Om nom nom

wahming , to Ask Science in Humans are notoriously bad at absorbing iron from plant sources, while herbivores seem to do fine. What's up with that?

Yes

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.

And yes, that makes American drivers the clueless tribesman in this analogy.

That depends on which country you’re driving in

Did anybody else feel like the plot required a bit more suspension of disbelief than usual? The federation really needs to invent antivirus technology and firewalls.

wahming , to Star Trek in ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Finds New Home At Netflix After Paramount+ Cancellation

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.
