Because the stupid things all have sealed batteries you can’t remove these days?

“Eh, I have no problem with the sea. Now, evil sentient tar pits on the other hand... those are a real son of a bitch.”

Dammit, I was liking this story a lot more when I didn’t realize that after shoving off again, the hollow ship lady probably died a slow, lonely death out at sea. Thanks a lot.

I don’t think the old Colbert could function at all in this era.

If these things go all the way back to Roman times, how could something from 1803 possibly be “one of the earliest sightings”?

Jesse, who’d been held captive and forced to cook meth (and who’d watched his girlfriend get brutally murdered), drives off in an El Camino, yes.

Well, checking the IMDB page for La fée aux choux, you’re not far off.

I could have sworn I’d read about the Great Molasses Flood on Wiki Wormhole at some point, but it must have been somewhere else, since I can’t seem to find it in the archives.

Well I mean, TNG once had an entire episode about the loss of a character that we’d never even seen before, not even as an extra. They invented a character on the spot, just to have everyone cry over her death for the entire episode.

I think you meant the Book of Judges, not Judgement.

Do we know for sure that the Yeoh series is going to be about Section 31? I ask because I’d watch the hell out of a prequel about Prime Georgiou’s adventures on the Shenzhou. We didn’t get nearly enough of that character.

Hey cool, it’s an article about history! I bet there will be some interesting discussions in the... oh for chrissake

I was thinking more of that line from the 2009 Star Trek movie.

Yes, because if there’s one thing Brannon Braga’s Star Trek episodes were known for, it was always making perfect sense and not having plot holes, especially the later he got into his career. :-P

Well, I mean, we only know what Porthos’ center was like because of that failed transporter experiment.

I have to take umbrage at characterizing James Garfield as a “mediocre” president. He might have been a phenomenal president—he certainly had ambitious things on his agenda. We’ll never truly know, because he never really had much opportunity to be President.

Paid a higher price for it, too.

On the contrary, episodes where crew-members are off the ship with no combadge do exist, there are quite a lot of them, and usually it’s much more important to the plot than one momentary acting decision from one episode (no matter who ultimately made it).

But then you’d have the same problem every time a Starfleet officer was captured by the locals on a planet and had their stuff taken away. The first one that came to my mind was “The Chute”, but there are many, many other examples. They have to be implants.

The Star Trek translators aren’t in the com-badges; otherwise every time a Starfleet officer went rogue and left their combadge on the table, they’d suddenly be unable to talk to anybody. For example, O’Brien in the Tosk episode.
