Leia has had 30 years to learn some basic Fore pulling/pushing and it wouldn’t take much to push he towards the ship considering that she was in a frictionless environment.

Google has nothing to do with it.

Dude, I know you never got to Enterprise in the big mass AVC classic Trek reviews, but you should at least not have made the claim about a show you covered (The Tholian Web) even if you never watched that Defiant’s return in Enterprise’s Mirror Universe episodes.

Sorry, typo - two Defiants in Trek history, not three.

Go rewatch “The Tholian Web”, Zack (or, I guess, the ENT two parter “In a Mirror, Darkly” which actually is the basis for this episode).

Actually, there are three Federation ships named Defiant in the Star Trek universe, one of which is a Constitution-class vessel that made its way to the mirror universe in The Tholian Web. It also featured in the (sigh) Star Trek: Enterprise foray to the mirrorverse.

  • The only U.S.S. Defiant in Trek history is the one from Deep Space Nine, which doesn’t fit the timeline.

Hey, get a load of the nihilist in the fancy jacket!

For me, it’s not about the frame rate. It’s about what the interpolation, or whatever the new TVs are doing, does to the lighting quality of film. It gives everything a very strange depth of field look that makes outdoor shots look like they are lit artificially and shot on a set. I noticed it immediately when

The motion settings aren’t what make it awesome. The number of pixels does.

You think Samesungs software artificially adding frames to a movie makes it awesome? Wow

The soap opera effect. Google it if you haven’t disabled this crap on every TV you own. Otherwise, films will look like they were shot on a studio sound stage with a terrible lighting designer.

The number of people who are too dumb to realize that something is wrong with their motion-smoothing-enabled tv is the #1 data point that should have tipped us off that Trump would win.

The “mosquito in amber” idea dates back to the 60s or 70s, I think, and was mostly out-of-date by the time the book came out. Crichton also put Deinonychuses in it and called them Velociraptors because he liked the name better.
