Lol, not surprised that's how they would be solving Discovery's continuity issues. The ship is sent almost a thousand years into the future and everyone in the present is sworn to secracy to never mention the events of the show, the characters, the Spore Drive or the Discovery itself. Guess season three is going to be set in the far future.

Okuda was cool for posting on TrekBBS during the entire run of Enterprise and leaking all sorts of poo poo (and also talking about how toxic the workplace was).

Okuda somehow seems max cool even though him and his wife are huge nerds. Somehow he seems to rise above on the fukken nerd meter unlike Sternbach who just seems like a huge dork every time I see anything on him. I do like how Okuda always does interviews with his wife right by him. That's pretty cool, since they are artistic partners too.

Sternbach does sell tons of blueprint and design books on his eBay page though, which is cool. I bought a TNG LCARS negative and some DS9 design stuff from him a few years back.

Getting towards the end of season 1 for my TNG rewatch. I’m on the episode where the aliens steal the children of the Enterprise (S01E17). Data just explained that the aliens cloak their planet by having a shield bend the light rays around the planet. While this is a commonly held belief on how cloaking would actually work, wouldn’t that mean that no light breaks through to help actually make the planet habitable?

Tonights episode of TNG is the one about how Lwaxana Troi finds true love through an AOL chat room and wants to marry this person. I've never really liked this episode but it did have a few hilarious moments and clever dialog. Just the overall premise and conflict wasn't that terribly interesting. Some of it though did have special meaning to my wife and I.

I mean the federation has been destroyed and etc in Andromeda, within living memory almost. It's a different type of story than just 'it's the future'.

I saw "Wink of an Eye" on Heroes & Icons last night. Normally, I rag on Season 3 of TOS being low-budget even for a low-budget sci-fi TV show from the 1960s, but I have to say Spock drinking the Scalosian water to accelerate himself was a very nicely-done piece of acting on Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, and Majel Barret's parts.

The computer in Calypso says the ship has been abandoned for a thousand years, so if Discovery ends up 950 years in the future with a crew, Calypso must be 1950 years after the 22nd century. AlBorlantern Corps posted:Why did they decide to erase all knowledge of Discovery? They seemed unsure if there were remnants of control still around, knowledge about it could allow it to get the sphere data and we get the bad future. But yeah really to explain why nobody in the future uses spore drives.

I'm rewatching DS9 S1 against my better judgement, having not slogged through it in my last... number, rewatches. I think the older I get the less interested I am in the "Starfleet officers don't get some hosed up alien culture and they try to gently caress with it" episodes. Captive Pursuit, the Wesley trips into a garden one, all of those. I'm not sure why necessarily either, they're not all bad and certainly growing up with one of them (or more) every season did a lot for me growing up with less than present parenting, but nowadays it's just kind of trite. It might be having rewatched them so many times but I feel like it might also just be something Trek leans too heavily on time and time again to really club those ideas home.

The other day, a friend of mine shared the Yar "I walk around the puddle of goo" version of the "Crit Fail" meme and I realized that Tasha was the only Chief Security Officer who died like a Star Trek Security Officer should - from some unexpected, random environmental threat. Everyone who puts in that uniform knows they'll probably get offed by an exploding rock or flower projectile, but Tasha was the only leader who died like one of her people. (Not counting easily-punked Mirror Odo, of course.)

I notice that really Worf doesn't do anything in season 2 as "head of security", his only storylines are about being a Klingon. It makes me feel less like they didn't know what to do with Yar and more that they just didn't know what to do with a head of security when you're in a society that's not meant to have conflict.
