  I think I could do Linux. I used to do MS-DOS. I’ve got a 10-yr-old Dell laptop to experiment with. I’ve been advised to start with Mint. Is there something “for dummies” with very clear instructions?

  Humor me here, please. Everyone else sang in voices you could expect from their characters. Why was Klingon singing, alone, breaking character?

  I dunno. I see Klingons as extremely old-school, culturally. They treasure old ways of fighting (bat’leth, qutlutch), worship (Kahless, dark, candle-lit spaces), being (honor bordering on chivalry, belonging to the house of one’s father), and singing (manly voices–Michael Dorn even lowered his speaking voice for TNG). For me, hearing Klingon high-pitched voices during a crisis was analogous to hearing “Eek! A mouse!” It was funny, but I’m still experiencing cognitive dissonance.

  YES!

  They played it well. It was jarring, and I laughed, and I was disappointed.

  How do I get to bonus features?

  Why not? Christine & Nyota had a great time.

  I liked seeing La’an’s character develop in this one.

  Gosh, will Spock and Chapel survive this time?!

  No, that’s how they get back to the canon. Sad. I’m as confused as you about the Gorn, though. I’m also wondering about the affable/bloodthirsty crew and trying to make sense of the title, “Hegemony.” Here’s one way might make sense: The demarcation line was a power play, kind of like NATO moving to Russia’s back yard or Russia reclaiming Crimea. Pike crosses it, another power play. Are we looking at a battle for unipolar power? Depicting the crew as both affable and bloodthirsty might be a way of holding up a mirror to ourselves. The Gorn are from hell. Demonizing people makes it easier to kill them. Interestingly, toward the end of the episode, Pike has a sentence about understanding the Gorn. Don’t groan. All Star-Trek series have included social commentary. (Remember Pelia’s comment, a couple of episodes ago, about holding onto valuable art in case this no-money experiment in socialism were to fail?)
