It’s just not the same without the crazy eyes and facial expressions.

Keith David. He was great in the outer limits and men at work, and i always wanted to see him captain a starfleet ship.

I thought picard was crazy for questioning data in his quarters alone in clues. Especially after they confirmed something was wrong with him by catching him in a lie.

Yeah, that’s why the general was pissed at the end. He wanted to stabilize the augments, but instead the doc created a cure with the side effect of still causing the dermal disfigurement.

Yeah not all at once of course. I think there will be a noticeable wave right away, but greater numbers will trickle in over the following months. And hopefully in that time there will be some more mobile apps popping up that work with Lemmy.

I think it makes more sense to think of local as the federation. It’s the communities (planets) that founded the federation or we have treaties with. All is more like the galaxy. It’s the great unknown, containing pleasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. There is (or will be) everything from hippie planets to gangster planets to cowboy planets to nazi planets. We’ll venture out to meet them, and some will become allies, while others will become adversaries. The more we experience, the more we learn about ourselves, but we can always find our way back home to the federation (local).

This was just the dress rehearsal, it seems like people forgot that. The protest isn’t the event, the policy changes are the event. The protest was just to let them know that the users do care about the impending policy changes. When those changes take effect, lots of people are going to discover that the app they use to browse reddit doesn’t work anymore. Some will install the official [cr]app and go on with their lives, but some won’t. It won’t be a mortal wound, but a lot of users will be lost at that moment. That’s when a wave of users looking for a new permanent home will arrive. Since Lemmy has been mentioned all over reddit, and in articles about the reddit drama, a lot of the trekkies among them will end up here. All we have to do is wait. Lemmy may not be the site/network with the biggest trek presence (yet), but i’m confident it will grow to a healthy size in short order.

Are those Glasses’s glasses?

This is unfortunately a loosing battle. I’ve been explaining how it makes perfect sense for years, but as soon as another person starts their voyager rewatch, another thread pops up about how they said they can’t replace torpedos, and others jump on board to call it a plot hole.

It is indeed all about trade, but it’s really about one specific thing: antimatter. Three things are required to keep the ship running almost indefinitely: antimatter, dilithium, and deuterium. With those things they can manufacture all the parts they need and keep the ship, shuttles, and torpedos flying. Dilithium can be mined and processed using the refinery that b’elanna built from the secondary impulse reactor. Deuterium can be collected in space or extracted from sea water. But antimatter takes massive infrastructure and energy to produce.

In the beginning, they weren’t sure if there would be any opportunities to acquire more antimatter, and without it they’re boned, in both torpedo/shuttle production and ship propulsion. But they soon found out that the delta quadrant was just a big flea market filled with warp capable races. And yes, there may have been a moral/procedural issue in theory, but i’m pretty sure Janeway would have traded with the bad guys if it came down to the ship not being able to fly anymore.

So after they realized they can get more antimatter just about anywhere, there were no more issues at all. They just had to plan things out to make sure they wouldn’t run out in the middle of a void or something. It would have been nice for someone to mention it directly on-screen, but they didn’t and here we are, so we just have to keep fighting the good fight for the benefit of all.
