For some bizarre reason I was under the impression that it wasn't out on DVD/BR yet. I was curious to see if the DS9 Companion might be in the library system, but I noticed this and was very confused. Disregard!

As an also librarian I can tell you that this is what the ILS (this is the library equivalent of LCARS or something) known as Polaris looks like; our consortium in north suburban Chicago has it, and local availability means at your library vs at another sort of nearby library that you can also get it from.
We switch over to it in January and our patrons/users kinda hate it for the most part.

Watched the Voyager episode where Janeway allows a planet to replicate the entire crew and then leaves them behind on a planet. This replicated crew has all of the originals memories and behaviors.

It's not like the ship would have benefitted from having two of everyone on board or anything.

The crew stands gaping as Janeway removes her finger from the depressed "fire phasers" button.

"What?" she demands. "Who did I kill? Looks like everyone is still here."

She strides over to the replicator and orders a coffee, sipping it loudly and carelessly.

The next episode was just as loving stupid. Voyager must travel a month through a Nebula. One point it's 29 days, which somehow in a later scene gets translated into three weeks. The crew, with the exception of 7 of 9, is put into stasis. Somehow these chambers are enough to keep the crew safe, yet the hull of Voyager with its shields, is not? Also, the entire interior is safe from radiation somehow, and the crew is able to wake up just fine and not instantly die. 7 of 9 trips balls hardcore and imagines Tom and Harry dying, because she wishes they would both die for real.

what a humorous anecdote.
The excuse they used to get Seven completely alone was dumb but I really enjoyed the episode otherwise. It was honestly one of the best early episodes for her, Jeri Ryan being able to carry the entire episode near alone was prophetic in how she would carry the whole show for the next 4 years.

I liked that episode where they see nothing but darkness outside the windows and are getting all claustrophobic because in reality that's what all the views would look like from a lit cabin in interstellar space, you'd only get cool views when near a planet or with the lights turned off anyway.

Ahh, I didn't see the big red circle in your image.

As far as organizations outside the library misusing taxpayer dollars, i can think of/have experienced grievances orders of magnitude worse than that buying 2 copies of the DS9 documentary. If it's a really big library it might even make sense for them to own two copies.

What's is a Triple I product? I assume the I is for Innovative?

It took me years to realize how ridiculous the reading glasses act Kirk pulls was.

Khan grew up when people still wore glasses. Kirk is trying to get Khan to lower his guard by displaying a weakness.

He also looks oddly like a Charles Dickens character for a moment, and I appreciated that.

PerniciousKnid posted:

I know it's good I just can't stand watching it.

Try re-watching "The Coming of Shadows" to get back in the flow of it. That episode holds up very well even today. Although the Centauri Imperial Guard look like 6 extras who can barely keep in step (because they are). Casting, which is usually very good, missed an opportunity to hire marching band or drill squad people for the role.

RIP Turhan Bey, another B5 alumni passes beyond the Rim.

Tuvok's suppressed anger combined with Neelix's vapid amiability, so basically Patrick Bateman.

Actual navy thing.

It's kinda weird that Worf never becomes a commander on TNG despite being shown to be the only crew member to actually be talented at supervising and mentoring people.
