Is this going to be one of those episodes where the suspect gets off, only to be gunned down on the police station/courthouse steps by one of his crying victims?

Dude or dudette, I'm also a nerd; been one since age 4. It's not a culture. If anything, it's a specific subset of a global culture, largely Western, largely white, and much of it has been mainstreamed since I was a child. There's no sacred trappings or appropriation going on there, just juvenile mockery.

Since Cuoco's character was sweet to Parsons and Nayyar's characters from the beginning, and friendly to Galecki's (the love interest), I'm guessing you're remembering all the times she insulted Helberg's character, which was character-based insofar as he was relentlessly, creepily hitting on/making sexist comments…

It's the fucking line that will never die about that show, along with "nerd minstrel show." I heard it in real life from my local comic/game shop owner, but he's one of those opinionated nerds with whom discussion is fruitless.

Amy Acker starred in the second episode! I thought it was worse than the pilot, however, and am not sure I can continue with this series, seeing as I'm three seasons behind on Hawaii Five-0 to begin with.

That's 'cause they promised Fin Fang Foom as the mail order bride.

You don't even have to sign up for anything. President Trump has given all us Second Amendment types the green light to do something about any duly elected President we don't like.

I still can not watch an episode of that show without wondering why Scagliotti isn't the lead.

Also, it's an Incom T-16, which had very similar controls/handling to the Incom T-65 he flew at the end of the film.

It wasn't even their planet was it? I seem to remember them asking for some land on a remote moon the Bajorans weren't actually using at the time.

When the show first started, I thought the "young Philly cop with modern training moves out to the middle of nowhere and spends every episode trying to impress her boss" and "sheriff's daughter moves back home from the city and keeps her new lover secret from her dad" storylines were related. Even if it was a show my…

God, yes. It was very pretty art, but I ended up just giving two "seasons" worth of issues back to my local comic book shop when I gave up.

Same. Twenty years.

"You might say there's a little Neelix in all of us." —is what should have happened, dammit.

Replicators work at the molecular level, whereas transporters work at the quantum level. You're probably right that replicator patterns must be stored at a low "resolution" by the computer. In "Our Man Bashir," storing just the minds of a runabout crew filled up every bit of computer storage on the entire station, so…

I'm sure the various Horta in Starfleet would be perfectly able to explain how a replicated phaser isn't nearly as tasty as one that was hand-machined and polished by master armorers.

Latinum can be exchanged for goods and services.

Can't your grandparents' new smart TV just play it directly off of a USB thumbdrive?

On a side note, I really recommend the new Mega Bloks series of TOS sets. That D7 is a thing of beauty, almost tempts me to consider buying the $250 Enterprise.

I'm hoping that the new series at least continues the trend of making one of the good guy regulars a member of a hostile alien race from a previous show.
