the erasure of Prodigy is working apparently :(

/s

Seriously, thanks for your great attention to detail!

No, the message is that if you continue being an asshole, you don't actually get what you want, and everyone dies in the end.

I don't think that was supposed to be Kirk, it was credit as just "Captain".

The message, I think, is "When Spock tells you you're being an asshole, stop doubling down on being an asshole, or you lose it all".

Or more generally, "This is an example of being an asshole. Don't be like this."

In terms of our current computers, you're probably looking at something like yottabytes .. but they don't seem to store things in bytes at this point, as others say, quads. Which could mean that they've knocked the basic storage unit size from 'byte' to '4 bytes' ... A current 64-bit system can address 16 exabytes of memory, but if you were to knock that upward by an exponent of 4, you could address 65k exabytes, or 0.06 yottabytes.

That's if we're talking about memory capacities. Warm storage capability / use tends to be significantly larger than memory use, so I'd hazard a guess that the total storage capacity of a starship's computers might be in the area of a few yottabytes.

This is assuming that "quad" is used because more space was required for memory architecture, and rather than upgrade to 128-bit or 256-bit computers, necessitating a huge amount of code refactoring, they just increased the minimum storage length. Of course, that would also realistically require a huge amount of code refactoring, but we're all just making stuff up here, right? :D

Was Spock Amok broadcast after the Prodigy ep with Janeway and Dal swapping?

It's a California class. Low budget. :D

I love all Star Trek.

... huh. Releasing a large clip from an episode of a season that doesn't presently have anyone to broadcast it.

weird.

I don't think most instances have enough users to get 20 upvotes on their posts. That's not a very good indicator.

maybe we could get a crossover with Shaw so they can make that look together

the crew was constantly backstabbing, betraying, lying, and being all around bad towards each other

.... what???

Millions of people watched it. It brought us the entire rest of everything in Star Trek now.

I love it.

Orville has not been renewed or cancelled, officially, at this time, as far as anyone's aware?

To me, there is no bad Star Trek.

And then everyone watching it (which, unlike what you might think from reading this thread, is actually millions of people) would get super pissed when it got cancelled in the middle of a storyline.

Section 31 speed walking!

The first several episodes of Orville I've described as "what if Star Trek had dick jokes and occasionally tapped the well of ex-wife jokes"... but yeah, I loved that too.

The first 3 LD episodes are pretty brutal if you're not tuned into the frenetic pacing of something like Rick and Morty. I would not put Simpsons, Bobs, KOTH in the same zone. HOWEVER, it's worth getting tuned into. And if you really want some great info, dig up the old site's posts by /u/USSBurritoTruck (if they are still there) about Canon Connections especially in Lower Decks, because there's a TON.

or just search "easter eggs in lower decks S1E4" or whatever. But USSBurritoTruck is the best.

.... usually. But then they subvert that sometimes.
