It even has 8 times the mass of the Earth, so gravity will be stronger there. Someone with more motivation than myself can figure out weight differences.

It makes things easy that surface gravity scales linearly with density and radius.

For exoplanets we're guessing a lot so can't say. For the solar system, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are in the same ballpark, 5.2-5.5 grams per cubic centimeter. Mars is only 3.9. But as you go past the snow line you start getting worlds that are mixed rock and water ice, so Ganymede and Titan are both of similar scale to the terrestrial planets and are 1.9. Earth's moon is 3.3, its metal core is fairly small because of how it formed. Planets are likely composed of the same materials everywhere, so ones within the snow line wouldn't be icy and the 3-5 g/cm^3 range is a reasonable estimate. But exoplanets have thrown a lot of monkey wrenches into models of planetary formation. So far our solar system is pretty weird, though it's possible that's an artifact of how we find planets. Giant planets orbiting close to their star are the easiest to detect, so it's not a huge surprise that we've found a lot of those.

The biggest problem with the planet is that it is probably tidally locked, making life a much more tricky thing.

The most logical explanation is that the humans who drew the Star Trek star charts recalled that Vulcan was said to be roughly 16 light years from Sol and selected a real star close to that distance to serve as Vulcan's star. In the purely fictional universe of Star Trek that isn't crossing over into this one, of course, Jim.

Yeah, that's what I meant. A larger metallic core would mean it has a higher density, therefore a smaller overall diameter than if it were similar density to Earth, and therefore higher surface gravity.

Mercury is heavy for its size because it has a huge core, it looks like it got hit and had most of its non-metallic parts blown off. That or it formed in a super weird way we don't understand. Earth also has a relatively large core because we got most of Theia's when it slammed into us. Mars may actually be a more typical density for a terrestrial planet. We just don't have a big enough sample size to say anything concrete.

Imagine 60’s Shatner, Kelley, and Nimoy shooting the poo poo in the woods and climbing mountains with rocket boots, then encountering some weird guy who can charm everyone into betraying their friends, some random fan dancing from the single woman on the main cast, and cap it all off with Kirk asking the latest god he encounters what something so obviously all powerful needs with something so small like a starship. It’s literally a perfect episode of TOS. Rip the audio from ST5 and use it for a special two-part episode of TAS

Challenge: find a bigger contrast in back to back episodes than Civil Defence and Meridian. One of the most fun episodes in the entire run followed by one of the most tedious and pointless.

If you’re talking about a contrast in quality then that’s pretty good but Voyager goes from Latent Image to Bride of Chaotica. Both good episodes but The Doctor sure recovered from his mental snap pretty quickly!

It’s almost impressive how there isn’t a single element of TATV worth praise. Even in Enterprise’s worst episodes you can usually dig around and find something to like, but no, not TATV. It wastes Shran, it turns in the shittiest possible Riker and Troi cameos, it kills off Trip in a cheap and nonsensical way, it employs a time-jump without bothering to show any interesting character or tech growth, It sidelines the main cast in their own series finale, and then it whiffs the last loving scene of the entire series by cutting to credits before what should have been a series-defining speech. gently caress Berman and gently caress Braga.
