The Roku box was one of the good ones… about ten years ago. Though maybe this is just a TV thing. TIL Roku makes actual screens.
In the past few years especially, I’ve seen so many unshakable “good ones” go bad. Some, in the worst possible way.

- Comment on Voyagers writers and Memory Alpha don't know when Voyagers final 3 episodes are set. 6 months ago:
Whatever they said, Warp 9.975 is NOT the maximum sustainable speed of an Intrepid-class starship. It’s the maximum possible speed… for a few hour at best, before the warp core needs to be powered down to prevent everything from melting.
It’s not a stretch to assume that the initial 75-year estimate was based on average sustainable speed and taking into account time needed to stop, refuel, maintain, repair, etc. Over that long a time, it wouldn’t be enough to just pour more deuterium into it. Most of the warp engine would have to be rebuilt or replaced.
Also, the computer was struggling to figure out exactly where they were, so it might have been off by a few years at first. When Seven built astrometrics, they immediately updated their ETA.

Wow, really? They’re each other’s doppelganger. And they’re both on YouTube for their comedy work, bizarre.
(I stand by my previous statement.)

Looks kinda Discoprise to me.
- Comment on I love purple. 6 months ago:
It got a little out of hand with the original movies. Despite everyone wearing red jackets, their collars had colors based on their departments. There were seven in total at that time:
- Red = Trainee
- Light Green = Medical
- Dark Green = Security
- Yellow = Engineering
- Blue = Special Services
- Gray = Science
- White = Command
- Comment on Brent Mintz, professional dog, duck & squirrel photographer, as played by a young, bearded Data in 1972, on the show ***To Tell the Truth***. (skip to 1:46 for his entrance) 7 months ago:
One of the things that makes TNG so good is that they had, not one, but two main actors trained in classical theater. Spiner being one of them.
Difficult to tell when he’s playing an android, but every single time he was allowed to express emotion it filled the screen.

- Comment on If you liked the movie Tetris you might want to check out BlackBerry 9 months ago:
Movies about Palm and the Balmer Era at Microsoft would be good.
The YouTube Channel Company Man is basically a fount of docu/mokumentary ideas.
- Comment on If you liked the movie Tetris you might want to check out BlackBerry 9 months ago:
For me, BlackBerry is closer to Air (also good) because it is a bitter recollection of the truth. And Tetris is closer to Weird (very good) because it is intentionally fictitious and over the top.

I always laughed at the size of the hull fragment they’re reattaching. Do pieces of the station randomly fall off?
