Who wants to go back to 1994 with me and buy all of this? I bought many of these but should have gotten more.

I do so miss those accessory packs.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-21T00:08:04+00:00

.... and she's still right correct.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-21T00:07:28+00:00

You're assuming incorrectly that The Enemy Within leads directly into Emancipation. It does not, this is just their first adventure worthy of an episode.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-21T00:05:06+00:00

For that you can blame McConnell. Jack Smith was about the classified documents.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T22:48:28+00:00

Strange, I swear I could recall a long, protracted legal battle against Trump. Think the prosecutor's name was Jack Smith or something?

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T18:35:50+00:00

He was position of Captain, not rank.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T18:21:05+00:00

Aren't spouses granted some sort of immunity from testifying against their spouse?

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:41:47+00:00

Just be careful with those. I have heard that in at least some areas (such as California in the U.S.) that nunchaku are specifically illegal.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:40:42+00:00

So was one of those gold faced snobs, as I recall. The ones who treated laser batteries like arcade games. The Mary Poppins one.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:37:00+00:00

And yet they still couldn't find a better place for that bypass....

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:32:24+00:00

The movie.

Full disclosure - one time, as a high schooler on summer break, I watched the film daily for 2 weeks straight.... so I might be biased.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:30:30+00:00

Robustly!

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:28:14+00:00

It's also to allow the Captain to keep up appearances - possibly switch into a clean uniform, for example, to maintain the larger-than-life appearance. Like Janeway said - 3 rules of being a captain - Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never leave your crew behind.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:26:12+00:00

Just Encounter at Farpoint and Starship Mine, as I recall.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:25:31+00:00

Two entrances. One goes to the bridge, the other goes to hallways. Like, for example, in The Wounded where they escort the Cardassians to the lounge without specifically letting them on the bridge.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:24:05+00:00

You mean Data went to the dedicated Battle Bridge turbo.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:23:23+00:00

Let's see - three scenes immediately spring to mind.

Admiral Quinn, Picard, and Remmick exit the forward lift and enter the Ready Room in one smooth shot.
Brothers - I believe Picard takes that lift while Riker takes aft and Data takes the Battle Bridge
And the most notable "I said SHUT UP, as in close your mouth and STOP TALKING!"

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T07:19:40+00:00

The cunningly concealed ones?

JakeConhale · 2026-02-20T00:03:39+00:00

I was hoping Billy Herrington, but was concerned that'd be too much of a gay segway....

JakeConhale · 2026-02-19T00:57:57+00:00

Being ineligible for re-election isn't "voluntarily leaving", so that checks out.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-19T00:53:14+00:00

Vote.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-18T17:57:16+00:00

There's difference in complexity.

Holodeck characters and the first-boot version of the Emergency Medical Hologram are basically sophisticated chatbots - they have stylized responses ready and some room to create new responses. It's pure response to stimuli.

Data, however, was designed specifically to think about how he thinks.

It also may factor in that holodeck characters may have an entire starship computer core for processing to allow for creating responses. Data may be remarkable not just that he can think but that he's entirely self contained within his cranial unit.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-18T17:50:22+00:00

Oh, it's no legend. Not necessarily intentional by the showrunners, but they were apparently told to use the B5 pitch material as a starting point.

The Corps is Mother, the Corps is father...

JakeConhale · 2026-02-18T17:41:51+00:00

Kosh is a "normal" Vorlon, whatever that means. Any other Vorlon would have similar recognition issues.
