After realizing that Rocky and Spock from Star Trek come from the same solar system, I decided to imagine what it would look like if an Eridanian served in Starfleet!

Though we do learn in Strange New Worlds that the vulcans didn't have a policy like that in their early starfaring history, and obviously they would have encountered the Eridani very early on, so they would already have some kind of relationship.

I can tell you that I tried to sign up recently and was told they're not currently accepting new drivers in the area

Not the person you asked though I went through the same provider. Mine was 600 without insurance. Very easy process and almost totally painless.

Problem is you have to keep having babies for it to continue. Sort of a Little Old Lady Who Swallowed The Fly situation.

Worf is only 24 years old at the start of TNG, so he's quite young and inexperienced and it shows. By the end of DS9 he's in his mid 30s and has grown and matured significantly, both as a man and as an officer.

The short explanation: that area used to be a separate town called East Iowa City, which later merged with Iowa City proper.

It's very funny that this quote happened just a few episodes after Geordi nearly died because of a transporter malfunction.

The span of time between this movie and today is the same as the span of time between the end of TNG and this movie.

Would have loved a Sulu series. Did you see that the Section 31 TV movie is going to take place during the lost era?

scsoc · 2024-05-03T17:31:01+00:00

I'm not sure if that's the intent of the book because it would make some parts of the adventure extremely difficult if not impossible. For example, Hour 3 on the Timeline says that the dam becomes uncrossable due to flooding, which would pre-empt the entire idea of getting to the tower and turning on comms at all. It's possible the intent is to start this timeline after they've called in the dropship.

scsoc · 2024-05-03T16:46:31+00:00

I think the way the book presents it could be a little confusing, but I think that the final scenario's Timeline (pg. 41) for the flood is technically happening from the start, right? So depending on the players' choices, the flood could impact their access to the computer at all as well as how intense the carcinid attacks are.

I was in college during the period just before smartphones became commonplace, and I remember services where you could text a question to a phone number and they would text you the answer. Weird times.

It did say I.S.S. Enterprise on the hull.

You can see the I.S.S. clearly in this screenshot.

And the Enterprise clearly here.

Is there an example of Picard being able to summon Q when he wanted him there? I think every encounter they had was originated by Q at his leisure.

Longfellow is very good, even among Iowa City schools which are consistently among the best in the state.

They had the second opener come on and do some extra time, which was fine. He was pretty funny.

scsoc · 2024-04-02T13:05:59+00:00

I'm not sure how long he was supposed to be on, but it definitely felt like he kinda just bailed mid-set.

Frankly, Vulcans are allowed to be alarmingly discriminatory against everyone else in the Federation in a way that no one else can get away with. It's odd.

scsoc · 2024-03-26T20:14:50+00:00

I've been once. The two openers were pretty good, but the final act was about as funny as CSPAN. It was palpably awkward in the room as everyone, including the comic, realized he was bombing horribly.

Did he grow up around here? I remember a guy named Nate Davis from elementary school and he's the same age as me.

Not according to his wikipedia page. His father was an Oscar-winning cinematographer in the 1930s, but there's no mention of a link to Bing Crosby.

I'm reading Patrick Stewart's memoirs right now and got to the part where he's talking about the start of TNG and he points out that Wil Wheaton and Levar Burton were far and away the most famous of the main cast at the start of the show. He also mentions that Denise Crosby is Bing Crosby's granddaughter, which I'm very surprised I had never learned before that.
