The black actor (Malcolm Barrett) plays a scientist in NBC’s “Timeless” and in my head he’s playing the same character from “Better of Ted”.

Yup. I avoided that article for the same reason, but here it is in the title. Thanks io9...

Australian slang for girl is “Sheila”, not “Shelia”. They really dropped the ball in naming this film, although I kept on reading it as “Sheila”.

The holy grail, perhaps?

In my head his character from “Timeless” is the same person from “Better off Ted”.

I’m thinking that wouldn’t be very good for small dogs wandering through it - or maybe I’m just overthinking it?

Mmmm...check out the labs on that guy!

Harrumph! I have no idea what a “Chelsea boot” is, but the Shoretroopers are obviously wearing Australian “Blundstones” - very rugged leather boots, perfect for outdoors or construction sites.

I agree with your point in general, but it needs a little clarification.

Tractor beams and force fields specifically tuned to allow only certain wave lengths of light to pass through. Think about it - if the holodeck can make clear glass, coloured glass, objects with different opacity, then it doesn’t seem too much of a stretch that it could create “black and white” filtering fields in…

When “the headlights are on”, the headlights are really on.

Thanks for your well thought out response. I particularly appreciate that you addressed my question and outlined benefits of upgrading.

Any update has inherent risks of issues - such as hardware incompatibility, reduced performance, or just a simple botched install.

Yes. Definitely not Khan Noonien Singh.

So they are the US equivalent of Haggrid?

I read that in Malek and Slater’s voices from Mr. Robot, and it made a great comment excellent.

I was confused by that part of the story because Alex (her sister) said she wouldn’t be able to breath in space, or have any propulsion because there would be nothing to push off (I think that’s what she said).
