Nessus posted:Honestly it would make sense. If it was in the official "canon" universe they're going to be beholden to the TNG/DS9/Voyager stuff which, while in many cases great, was twenty-one seasons of television. Since it's in a different timeline, they can do every plot again!

In the future, thanks to advances in medicine, linguistics and family law, it will finally be possible to have four grandmothers capable of running a marathon. Mankind will finally discover the tetragrandmathon.

I always figured there's an account in a computer somewhere for every Federation citizen, and that it ticks up too fast for most people to ever worry about running low*. But if you want to start buying space ships or urban real estate you need to do something to pull in more credits. By for example running a popular restaurant, or working on a long range cargo hauler. *Because the means of production have been socialized and automated.

Also I think all transactions within the Federation are handled by computer, so most people genuinely never think about money unless it comes to very large transactions.

How can quark be a Jewish stereotype when he doesn't even drink the blood if any Christian children? Talk about projection.

I'm totally sold on a feature Yesterday's Enterprise where Woof is the villain and the original crew is the Tasha chump squad. Kirk could even be the guy she falls for.

SuperDucky posted:Jesus you loving nerds, I'm frankly shocked at all the love Beyond is getting. Especially because they tried to go to warp explicitly and immediately after the goddamn deflector had been destroyed. Wow look at this nerd who doesn't know about the auxiliary deflector in the primary hull.

I have to say after playing KSP I'm really impressed at how gracefully the Enterprise failed. Coming in at Mach 15 with holes in the hull and it's still in one piece at the end, and some systems even work? That's the kind of engineering that builds sufficiently advanced mega structures.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Why the gently caress would a starship have a stun setting? What could you possibly use that for outside of this one specific case? It's easy to see why it would be useful. Maybe it's so useful that it's become a standard tool in the phaser system, and you can dial-a-yield for stun-from-orbit accounting for range and atmospheric interference etc.

I like that Starfleet ships apparently have some routine that teaches English to aliens who find the ship. If you think about it that would be a real concern in space salvage.

Little theme chat from Beyond: both Kirk and Spock consider trying to live up to their idols by doing something out of character and in the end decide to do what they want instead. Notably kirk rides a motorcycle and listens to beastie boys and is happy about it and comfortable with himself, contrasting with the first movie where those were both symbols of a rebellious unhappy kid. If you mentioned you felt that the cast felt comfortable in their roles for the first time, I think that's an intentional theme. Both Kirk and Spock finally resolve their daddy issues in this episode.

MikeJF posted:Yeah. Plus, it's presumably a pretty small black hole. Which wouldn't actually have any effect even if it was relatively close to Earth. It'd just act like an extra planet. But black. And hole-ish. A b hole small enough to evaporate on a minutes time scale would have all the gravity of a pebble.

Fister Roboto posted:The worst part of that episode to me is how Nog didn't use his authority as an actual real officer (albeit a pretty new one) and order them to quit acting like retards. Didn't the acting captain say some bullshit about being the real captain as long as they're out of contact? I don't think that would have stuck even if he'd tried.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:He's not stupendously wealthy, no, but he has a solid business with a good income which lets him employ people and even take care of his widowed mother. Cousin Gaela owned a moon, sure, but he was in a phenomenally risky business and eventually lost it all. Quark is a solid ferengi, the backbone of a stable economy. I don't know whether other Ferengi would sneer about him not paying rent or commend him for taking advantage of Federation idiocy.
