That was part of it. The other part is Stewart originally didn’t want the show to be TNG part 2: no uniforms, no enterprise, and no existing characters beyond cameos. They eventually got him to loosen up on those requirements during production of season 1 a little, and to a degree in season...

Wasn't McCoy the one who hated using transporters?

Launch scrubbed ;/

That show really did have some quality episodes, although usually the endings fell into two categories: really dark ending or hopeful ending. The dark endings are the ones that stick with you. Like that one where the aliens are coming to Earth so the Earth governments put 7 people or whatever...

There was a good episode of The Outer Limits reboot from the 90s that dealt with this. Humans are on good relations with this alien race that look like dinosaurs. The dinosaurs have a transporter of sorts. The way it works is covers your body in some material, it makes a scan of your body...

What, the beach? No chance they let people go there when the thing lifts off. The decibels alone would be dangerous at that distance

I mean realistically, transporters open up a whole metaphysical can of worms 1) Are you effectively killed everytime you transport, then what comes out the other end is just a copy that thinks it is you? 2) The show has shown transporter clones to be a thing (William vs Thomas Riker), which...

If there are 3 cameos, then my presumption is Janeway and Tuvok are almost guarantees as two of them. Tuvok because they will want to show that real Tuvok is ok, and Janeway because they've been naming dropping her the entire damn season. 3rd cameo I am not 100% sure on. I think O'Brian would...

Kinda hard for him to do that, considering how season 2 ended lol

Lore wise it still makes sense: The D was partially destroyed when Picard was just a captain. Since the ship wasn't connected to the rest of the fleet, presumably it was still using the outdated information and still had Picard on file as the captain of the ship.

Yes and no. The thing that was jarring about that is they tried to frame it as some sort of privilege thing - in a post scarcity society where at least among humans, they don’t discriminate based on that anymore. It stood out a bit in Deep Space 9 as well the couple times they referenced it in...

That's cool they saved the set after they were done

I was watching some streamers. Some things I noticed 1) Bows use ammo now. Rangers start with 10 arrows. You can get the arrows back if you go over and get them off the body or w/e, but no more infinite spam of arrows 2) Bards have an ability that basically does AOE silence/ability lock and...

I would be happy if some old Weyoun clone showed up to apologize for all the inconvenience caused by the fallen founders, then he notices Worf is there and makes a hasty exit

Borg adapt. Frontal assaults never work out for them against Star Fleet, and they always get defeated due to their hubris. So laying low and essentially laying the groundwork for mass assimilation makes sense if they took those lessons and learned from them Of course, the seeds for this were...

There’s 2 issues: borg signal and linked ships. Step #1 should be getting rid of the fleet sync. That way, you can at least have a chance of subduing the borg drones and taking back the ships. Then fixing the teleporters, although they presumably have to stop the signal before they try to...

That confused me greatly. I logged in to find all my companions missing and I couldn’t even figure out how to leave the space station, not to mention classes being completely different. I ended up uninstalling

RL clubs are shitholes. You pay for overpriced drinks while shitty music ruptures your ear drums and drunk people constantly bump into you and spill shit on you As for FC, just join one. Guild hoping is a lot more common in the game for people it seems

Raffi has been good this season. She was my least favorite character in the first 2 seasons, but doing the 80s buddy cop thing with Zen Master Worf actually works

No. Juratti’s Borg are a different faction, because changing all Borg would have altered the timeline significantly They’re more in line with the Unimatrix Zero Borg from Voyager that peaced out to do their own thing. They are their own collective/collaboration. The Borg doing this stuff...

Boring long term might be good, but it isn’t feasible in the short. Besides the logistics of getting the equipment up there, we don’t fully understand how the ground will react to that sort of action or how hard it will be to bore. That is why most early missions are hoping to find large lava...

In terms of how the situation is resolved, my theory

Realistically that would be complicated. I imagine they don’t want any Dominion forces in the Alpha quadrant as part of the treaty, Starfleet doesn’t want to air even more Section31 dirty laundry, and infiltration is already muddling the chain of command and would sabotage any attempts at an...

This is exactly why. Unhinged Changelings that just wanted revenge.

Nyanners can be pretty funny/degen also

They mentioned the DLC takes place during the main game storyline. I do wonder if the all the endings will be different if you do the dlc content

Gizmo ca-ca!

Yes, although they had more of a forced PvP sandbox Rust model originally I suspect Blizzard’s game is going to be more similar to Fallout76 in terms of PvPvE than Rust or Ark: PvP will be tightly controlled/opt in, there will be shared PvE content, and no offline base raiding Offline base...

I get that, but I thought they wanted to see if it could upright land in the ocean vs just smashing into the water

Interesting to be sure. I’ll be curious how “massive” the servers are, though, in terms of simultaneous players. At a certain point you have to cap that in a resource gathering driven game, otherwise you get Rust where the island is a stripped bare wasteland a month later

Phantom Liberty will be a paid DLC afaik and probably won’t be until later this year

He is that guy, after all

Grogu in basically a mech was pretty funny.

Marshlands are pretty important ecosystem wise - they act as buffers for coastal erosion, play a role in ground water supplies, and lots of animals (including ones we eat) use marshlands for spawning/breeding/getting food As for Starship, I do wonder why they aren't trying to land the Starship...

If you throw enough shit at the wall, something is going to stick eventually

I understand. The season has been pretty solid and I have confidence they won’t fudge the landing. Ending prediction: The big bad will end up being Keiko O’Brian when she straps those brainwashing game things that Wesley and Ashley Judd tried to thwart to everyone’s head, except this time it...

Han got killed off because Harrison Ford wanted that

I can say right now you can ignore the first 2 seasons and jump into season 3 and not be lost if you watched TNG/DS9/VOY. There are a couple plot points from the first 2 seasons that carry over, but they still get some exposition in S3 to give a bit of context

That’s cool - looks like the back of a lizard like animal
