With that said, if you were forced to choose between them, who would you live under?

On one hand, under the Borg you at least wouldn’t be aware of your loss of civil rights and wouldn’t suffer being hit by chemical weapons or something, but on the other hand… my goodness what is the Borg queen doing with Data?! You know what, I live to serve the Founders now.

No. The Dominion is from Gamma.

“Order to chaos”? Aren’t you forgetting someone?

All I’m saying is age is weird in space. I mean, don’t do anything stupid, but the Neelix thing isn’t that weird.

Now if you want REALLY MESSED UP stuff, try that one timeline where Harry Kim married Tom Paris and Kes’s daughter.

The only thing I can say for this show is while the suit and bowtie is very un-Vulcan, it’s more Vulcan than whatever TAS had going on here:

All of this guy’s Trek videos are Christmas classics in my heart.

I usually hate it when studios wipe something off the face of the earth for a bunch of tax BS or whatever, but please do this to Star Trek: Scouts.

What pains me is it is certainly possible to make a good Star Trek kids show that isn’t just iPad baby slop. Like, just have a show about a bunch of kids having fun around Starbase 170 or something, with hints of what the often-exhausted Starfleet and civilian parents are going through.

But no, most of the brainless executives have long since decided kids (and almost everyone, honestly) don’t need quality of any sort.

There’s a whole playlist of them by this guy - one for every series, and then some more.

And don’t forget this classic for another person: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oiSn2JuDQSc&t=7s&pp=2AEHkAIB

That reminds me…:

Heck, if random Ensign Jo is at the helm and waits for the right moment, they could probably warp the ship into a star before anyone can realize what’s going on.

Though I think one probably one of the most potentially deadly characters in the franchise by sheer skill might be D’Vana Tendi, considering how she went through all those Romulan guards in Veritas, her ability to take over a ship, her ability to switch between an completely unintimidating and absolutely terrifying demeanor, etcetera.

Of course, it was really just Santa pulling some Jason Vigo-type bullcrap, doing anything he could to offload him to someone else.

It’s not the concept of updating that’s the problem; it’s that Windows’s process gets in the way of your work and doesn’t make its status clear. You can be stuck on 90% for thirty minutes, and all you can do is wait with fingers crosses.

When updating on Linux, it’s usually dead clear what it’s updating and very forthcoming about any errors that have come up. Also, I can usually still at least check my e-mail while updating my Linux packages, if not most of what I usually do, and just restart when it’s convenient.

As someone who works at a help desk, the main “blue screen” I see these days is the computer asking for a Bitlocker key after an update, upon which I have to direct them through their Microsoft account.

I’ve also seen my fair share of crapped out installs that just needed a reinstall, as well as the occasional issue with Realtek 8852.

I guess it worked, too; she went from ensign to captain in no more than 16 years… in a gold uniform.

Heck, depending on when she got the Archimedes, she may have beaten Riker to captain.

“IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII’LL TAKE YOU HOOOOOOEEEEEM AAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN, KATHLEEN!”

Don’t forget: Star Trek V did knock off Mos Eisley first.

At least they did it better than Star Trek III’s excuse for seedy space bar with a couple arcade machines, relatively well-clothed women (relative to Quark’s or the weird cat lady in V, at least), and lots of Starfleet officers ready to report anything shady going on.

Overall, the occasional campy imitation of Star Wars locations is a time-honored Trek.

Now, when Star Wars starts looking like Star Trek, it’s usually horrible. Take The Acolyte for instance; you could already tell the show wasn’t great by its crappy set design. This is supposed to be a seedy cargo ship, but it’s so clean that you’d think you’re on a Federation starship. This lack of attention to detail foreshadows the show’s further failures that lead to me giving up 2 or 3 episodes in.

If you notice, the Dulhanians all wear golden cuffs on their necks, which the parents of the family are also wearing, while the Vaalians do not have them.

Also, the Vaalians have distinct cheek patterns, which the family lacks.

Are we sure the bottom ones aren’t just Dulhanians from LD s3e2 “The Least Dangerous Game”?

Star Trek sure has a lot of ruddy blonde scantily clad alien species.

You know, GNOME does some stupid stuff, but I can respect them for this.
