Maximum warp is not maximum cruising speed, even negating the need to refuel.

It’s particularly jarring that they get it right in some episodes and wrong in others. Might make a good drinking game.

To start things off:
I’m sure the first thing that will come to many people’s minds is the infamous badging error in TOS:
www.startrek.com/…/starfleet-insignia-explained
Some may suggest that since it was caught during dailies and intentionally left in, then it should stay as it always was.
Others may suggest that if modern technology were around back then, it would have been fixed in post; so why not let that happen now?
For that specific example, I’d probably argue for leaving it alone.

- Comment on Who's your favourite character? 1 year ago:
In a world of “humanoid/android/AI/chair/lawnmower explores what it means to be human” it was very refreshing to see “human raised as not-human explores what it means to be human.”

It’s a tie between Mariner and Burnham.

Especially the one who specifically called out the Black Mountain when they were ascending.

Antivirus and firewalls aren’t as useful when you can bypass shields and either physically beam or holographically project something directly into the override circuitry. You don’t need to take over the computer if you can take over the controls.

Of all the episodes so far, this was certainly one of them.
Curse these wretched beats for actually making this one bearable.

It was entirely absurd, and I’m here for it.

Are we heading toward a Crystalline Entity type situation here? It looked like Badgey was orchestrating attacks/salvage but wasn’t necessarily behind the actual mystery ship.

The vievwscreen in in Boimler’s hotel room is very suspiciously familiar, but can’t quite put my finger on it.

Mariner’s fighting just to be fighting. She has grown a lot over the past seasons. Her undefined angry outburst in this episode seemed pointless. There’s nothing keeping JG Lieutenant Mariner from her Ensign Mariner renegade behavior and schemes.
Seems realistic to me. Have you never watched someone spend so long fighting that even peace starts to make them uneasy?
It’s hard watching your loved ones go through it. You do all you can to get them on the right track. You show them that you believe in them and that you support them. They start making progress. They get to a good place. And then inevitably they run into the identity crisis where they have to make a conscious decision to unlearn all of their unconscious insecurities and defense mechanisms.
They literally start fighting their progress for no reason.
Mariner’s depiction with a physical fight was a little on the nose, but it hits really close to home for anyone who has ever supported someone in that way before.
It’s a fear response, and it’s extremely difficult to break the cycle. “Everything is okay! Wait, is it too okay? Something bad is coming.”
Rutherford and Tendi’s discomfort pretending to be a couple made me uncomfortable. They’ve clearly been sweet on each other for a while. I could have done without forcing them into this pretend couple scenario, and let their relationship develop at its previous pace.
If anything it felt a little like a reality check for all the shippers. I was afraid they were going to play it the other direction, with the two of them actually falling for each other once they were in the position of role-playing. Feels like they set the record straight that the romantic chemistry is not there right now and that it won’t be forced.

It’s Rom! From Star Trek!
Rom likes baseball!
It was really great to not only see Leeta again, but to see her as quite the shrewd negotiator. DS9 played them both as a little naive at different points, so it was extremely gratifying to see the continuation of their growth as well as the very sharp skills that Leeta picked up along the way on Ferenginar.

how much they love the ship
Holy ship!
- Comment on Canon Connections: Lower Decks 4x05 - Empathological Fallacies 1 year ago:
Orbs - This card is based on the Ten of Pentacles and depicts ten orbs, but in canon there are only nine orbs ; the recent “Star Trek” ongoing comic has added a tenth
Was the tenth not the Orb of the Emissary that Sisko found?

How can I get into TOS?
TOS and Abrams content is the only thing I haven’t done yet.
Got a good watch list for the critical stuff?

Except in Discovery. It works across lightyears in the first episode.

Betazed intelligence? That makes sense. There has surely been a thread or two asking why that wasn’t a thing.
Laughed out loud at the disappointed Romulans. It was cheap, but I still adored it.
