Uhura and Spock are a different story; they’ve both been fleshed out enough in other series that it feels unnecessary to include them here, even though I like these versions of them.

Captains Lorca and Georgiou both kinda sorta came back from the dead in that they were replaced by their Mirror Universe counterparts. While they were technically different people, it was still the same actor (in Georgiou’s case, at least, we never saw Prime Lorca but it could be assumed that he would also have been…

What makes it all the more galling is how ballsy the decision to make TNG (almost) entirely TOS-character-free was. All the current live-action shows have fallen into such a trap of playing-it-safe and it sucks.

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max is $100 more expensive at $1,199 for 256GB of storage than last year

Yep, and I was thinking those sorts of “marketplaces” are the easiest vector for neo-cable to appear. The next step would be to bundle services in a way that broadens the appeal beyond simply being convenient since everything’s in one place.

Interestingly, I just watched the “Ups and Downs” from TrekCulture, and there was apparently some internal debate as to whether it was a Kataan probe or something else, possibly two Wadi Chula pieces fused together.

I worked for a company that handled data and messaging services for the US rail industry for about a year. If we had an outage, trains could literally stop on the tracks.

Oh, yeah, it wasn’t that they used acoustic instruments rather than electronica, I was thinking more in terms of the style given that it was so much grander and more orchestral (with an actual orchestra!) than what had come before.

It didn’t come with a physical copy; there was a digital code on an engraved credit thingie (I think that’s right, I haven’t opened mine yet). And that doesn’t impact the need to create a different SKU, since there were distinct PC and Xbox versions of the bundle.

Nobody on the internet knows my a dog? I don’t get it.

The Starfield Constellation Edition was $300 ($200 more than the Premium Edition) and didn’t even come with a physical copy of the game. This isn’t particularly surprising.

Nah, he wouldn’t be able to shut up about it if he were doing that.

I have a free subscription to MAX via my AT&T Wireless subscription yet I still sail the seas so I can watch the MAX programming I want to see via Plex. The app is that bad.

That was always the endgame.

One could even argue that Murray Gold’s approach was more experimental than Akinola’s given that the show had never had scoring that orchestral and cinematic and it really did represent a sea change in that aspect of its presentation.

And how irritated the little girl looked!

You could very much describe both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X as an “all-purpose computer.”

I went back and re-watched the setup, and (unless I missed it twice) they didn’t even mention the Kataan probe; that’s a hell of a dark prank assuming they knew what it did. 😂

“Edginess hadn’t been refined; any anything crude was considered “pushing the envelope.”

Of the many crimes Chris Chibnall committed as showrunner, the two worst may be wasting truly wonderful talents in Jodie Whittaker and Bradley Walsh.
