True, something I didn’t know myself until very recently. Still, that particular shade is nearer screen gray than Kirk’s bright avocado green uniform was to screen gold.

No, it was gold on screen, even on the old 60s TVs. It always looked gold to anyone watching, because it was gold on the film. But in person? Bright green.

If you ever wondered why he wore that inexplicably green alternate uniform top in the late series, it’s because it was actually the same color as the regular uniforms. It just didn’t photograph the same way. Very odd, but true!

Captain Kirk’s uniform was green, not gold. Weird things do happen with lighting and film!

They all seemed distinctly confused by what was happening. It may be that they weren’t supposed to understand it either. But they’re also busy fighting for their lives, so they weren’t going to stand around scratching their heads or having a debate about it.

At this point there’s essentially 3 versions of many of these episodes: The original Showtime versions, which in some cases have minor nudity and sex. The syndicated versions, which trim that stuff out. And then versions I’ve seen on Comet, which edit things down even more to sometimes hilariously awkward result.

That really took me out of it. The spacesuit, the very deliberate illustration of mag boots at work, but then... the fire. And its attendant fire extinguisher. I am very generous with my suspension of disbelief, but don’t feed me a reasonably realistic space walk and then do that.

Well, we’re talking time travel. “Supposed to happen” is relative. An original timeline could have existed where Discovery went on to have further missions before vanishing under other circumstances. There’s any number of reasons why the crew never appear anywhere else and the ship is never mentioned.

I also was disappointed by Daniels. I felt sure they could have had a more satisfying and interesting reveal. I spent a while afterwards thinking about it, and in my rewrite it plays out like this:

My no-prize explanation for this is that the events of Calypso was “supposed” to happen, important to the timeline, but all the time travel shenanigans negated it. So to ensure that everything played out like it was supposed to, they deliberately planted Discovery where it would have been abandoned in the original…

It’s my understanding that Star Trek: The Experience in Vegas was supposed to be exactly that, and only changed when someone realized that if it failed, there’d be a huge Enterprise-shaped monument to its failure left behind. Personally I still think that’d be great, but impractical to engineer an actual replica as a…

My evaluation of that version was that Rob Zombie had made it for an audience of one: himself.

Why would they call it that? Memory Alpha was a completely different kind of archive.

I swear some people are just hunting for something to complain about....

Actually the reason there’s only the one spore drive is because there are literally only two people (apparently) who can make it function. It requires a living interface, and they say in the first episode of the season that they still haven’t cracked a workaround.

As much as they’ve upped their game, and as strongly as I decry the 8-episode season model everybody’s doing now, they’re still following on X-Men ‘92. That’s just how the show rolls.

I’m aware of it. The problem is that no matter how much you reinvent the show or characters, the one thing they’ll never change is Scooby himself. And that’s the element I find the most intolerable.

Weirdly, the Hamburgler has made more appearances than Ronald in the last decade.

I have never enjoyed Scooby-Doo, so I suppose I can be reassured in the knowledge that no matter how good or popular this is, it will be canceled after 8 episodes.

I hope they’re going to elaborate on the whole “Breen have two faces” thing, because they did not make it very clear what the deal was with that. To the point that at least one reviewer I saw (and admittedly myself at first) thought they were trying to suggest that they considered their masks to be their actual faces,…
