And I do hope they find Ocam - I assume he wandered off into the woods or something after episode 8.
I suspect he actually followed orders and went down to Betazed last episode like he was supposed to.

Instead of “Rubin con”, it could split as “Rub in con”. If Nus pulled off a good con he’d for sure rub it in.

The picture of Anisha looks to me like she’s betrayed everyone and the dude in the background with what seems to be a weapon is with her.
Lura is back. I feel like it’s been a few weeks since we’ve seen her.

I can’t remember if it was at university or a job, but there was a server named ‘borg’ and on there localhost really would have been borg.

I don’t watch WWE, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Becky’s wrestling gear based on her character’s uniform has gotten more screen time than the actual uniform.

Frakes says this was the last Star Trek episode he has directed. None of the filming since has fit his schedule.

Why did they bother introducing the Athena’s bridge crew if they’re not going to use them?
I guess reunification between the Vulcans and Romulans must have taken a while if Vulcan was renamed to Ni’var in Nahla’s lifetime.
Convenient that they waited until the school year was over to lose most of the school.

Comparing mu whitelist to the suggestions I’ve found online, I can only come up with api2.branch.io, saa.paramountplus.com and tags.tiqcdn.com; I might have also deleted something from the blacklist. There’s a few Paramount+ whitelists, like this one, that you could look at if none of those work.

When the app wouldn’t save my watch history, I eventually found that I needed to unblock a domain in pi-hole to make it work. Are you using anything like that?

They started filming the season 2 finale this week. I think if she wasn’t going to be in season 2 we’d have heard something by now.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x01 "Kids These Days" & 1x02 "Beta Test" 1 month ago:
The away team braclets are programmed for at least a couple of different modes, and switching is pretty quick. I would think if they could use programmable matter to make a multi-mode tricoder, it would be standard.
At any rate, I assume they can’t program matter into dilithium, because that would have made recovering from the Burn a whole lot easier.

Re: limits of programmable matter:
On Discovery away teams wore programmable matter flashlight bracelets that could turn into a phaser, and I think even a phase rifle, but from these last couple of episodes it seems they can’t make a tricorder that turn into a medical tricorder.
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Starfleet Academy* 1x01: “Kids These Days” 1 month ago:
The Doctor mentions he put an aging program 5 centuries before to put organics at ease, which is obviously the Watsonian explanation for why Robert Picardo looks older.
That should also establish that he’s not the Doctor backup from VOY: “Living Witness”, who wouldn’t have been online 500 years ago.
- Comment on The State of the 'Star Trek' Universe Coming Into 'Starfleet Academy' 1 month ago:
When Is Starfleet Academy Set?
Although the show is somewhat vague about it, Starfleet Academy is set in the late 32nd century—approximately around the year 3190, a similar timeframe to when Star Trek: Discovery‘s fourth season takes place, which had previously mentioned the reopening of the institute to a new class of cadets in its premiere. The show is, at the very least, set some time after the events of Discovery‘s third season, which saw United Earth rejoin the Federation after a century of independence, as Starfleet Academy itself—based out of the starship USS Athena—spends much of its time docked at the Academy’s ancestral home near the Presidio in San Francisco.
I thought it was obvious that the show is set after Discovery? In the fourth season the Academy reopened on the station/ship where Federation headquarters was; Earth agreed to rejoin the Federation at the end of the fourth season (not the third), and it would have taken time to finalize Earth’s re-entry and then more time to reach a point where Starfleet Academy would move back.

There must be something else to it. I’ve never paid any interest on my credit cards and I paid off my mortgage early; by your logic I should have a low credit score, but it’s actually in the “Excellent” range.
- Comment on A New 'Star Trek' Comic Gives Uhura the Full Spotlight 3 months ago:
Why the Civil Rights Movement, other than the immediately obvious reason? It brings things full circle with Uhura and her first actor, the late Nichelle Nichols, who initially planned on leaving the original Star Trek after a single season. It was a discussion with Martin Luther King, Jr. that changed her mind; as a fan of the show, he called her “our image of where we’re going. You’re 300 years from now, and that means that’s where we are and it takes place now. Keep doing what you’re doing, you are our inspiration.” And when she told him about her plans to leave, he told her, “You don’t have a black role. You have an equal role.”
TIL MLK convinced Nichelle Nichols to stick with the show.

Apple Music has a family plan, and it’s cheaper than Spotify’s, at least in Canada (16.99 vs 20.99).
- Comment on OpenAI signs $1 trillion worth of chip deals to feed its AI habit 5 months ago:
These numbers don’t make any sense to me, as the hed is about buying lots of chips, and the body is about power use. No matter how you slice it, $8.76/kWh is a terrible fucking investment … if that’s chip-inclusive, that’s another story.
Data center scale is usually given in terms of power consumption, not computing power. The trillion dollars is meant to buy enough hardware to suck up 20GW of power, and probably none of the money will go towards power generation.

While Chapel is dealing with Batel, the Gorn hatchlings seem to agitate when the ship first goes close to the binary stars.
I think it was a CME that got the hatchlings agitated, not getting close to the stars.
