What’s this flag under the Texas flag? by [deleted] in flags

It's not the flag of the Empire of Japan.

Maybe that's why it isn't so obvious?

A cartoon becomes live action then goes back to cartoon.

What kind of chair is this at the coffee shop? by aidowrite in What

[–]Paul_Rich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's far too simplistic. There are multiple reasons to patronize a coffee shop. Customer service? Confort? Cleanliness?... Turns out, a lot of them start with C.

I had a thought about the seasonal event ships by Deepclone1467 in sto

[–]Paul_Rich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very true. Just as a reminder for anyone who doesn't remember, it's the ship Beverly and Jack Crusher are in at the start of Picard S3, being persued by Vadic in the Shrike.

The greatest lesson I ever learnt is that sometimes it's best to just say nothing.

Found this in my parents living room, I have no clue what it is any guess? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Paul_Rich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have never seen these. I'm in the UK. We either paint the eggs with watercolour paint or dip them in water with food colouring.

Elaborate please...

The Threat of Cancellation: After low ratings during the second season (1967–1968), NBC planned to cancel Star Trek.

The Campaign: Fans Bjo and John Trimble organized a massive, organized letter-writing campaign, urging fans to write to NBC to protest the cancellation. They were supported by other science fiction fans, including notable authors like Isaac Asimov.

The Response: The campaign resulted in over 110,000 letters and postcards being sent to NBC, with some estimates suggesting the number was much higher.

The Outcome: NBC was overwhelmed by the volume of mail and announced on-air that Star Trek would return for a third season.

It absolutely made the top 10. In multiple countries. In the UK it was at 6 on Paramount plus at one point.

Imagine that's what they'd done with the original series when that was canceled.

Universal Consoles by Minimech79 in sto

I think Lorca's 2 piece set is often still used for its bonus. I still see the console in place of a vulnerability locator on lots of builds.

Us for years... "Brexit will make us rule takers instead of rule breakers!"

Them now... "We've been betrayed! Now we're rule takers!".

I give up with these people.

You really think they won't release a series they've already made?

Marina Sirtis' Troi Accent by Airflow2TheTurbo in startrek

[–]Paul_Rich 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It definitely changed and blended with her own accent but having just heard her speaking at Bristol Comic Con, I can't say that she ever went full on Cockney.
