Ooof, this hit me right in the childhood.

This is one of those chapter-turning public figure deaths for me. The last one was Betty White, and before that was Robin Williams — almost mythical figures whose names and faces I'd known since before I can remember, who it almost felt like would just always be around.

RIP, Bob. You've earned it.

Apart from my YouTube searches in the last day, Netflix was where I watched it more recently yes.

I've done some Googling for quotes, and it looks like Locutus does refer to Riker as "Number One" a few times in Part 2:

"A futile manuever. Incorrect strategy, Number One, to risk your crew and ship to retrieve only one man. Picard would never have approved."

"Preparation is irrelevant. Your people will be assimilated as easily as Picard has been. Your attempt at delay will not be successful, Number One."

But I too remember Locutus giving his whole speech about how their lives as they had been were over, then closing with "Resistance is futile... Number One". Gives me chills to this day, but apparently it didn't happen.

I love them all.

Except for the "blue steel" ones. It's not even kind of a "blue steel" pose. Like not even a little bit. It's inaccurate and uncreative and, even worse, just unfunny.

I love that scene. Data apologizes for ruining their friendship, and Worf takes ownership of his mistake and says he still wants to consider Data his friend. It just made my heart happy.

I swear you're right. I remember that very line. But on my last watch through and checking on YouTube now, it's not there.

I don't buy into the "Mandela effect" bullshit, but it's a tough memory error to swallow.

It genuinely is my favourite facial tissue on the Citadel.

Well shit. This is a problem for me, since the Kleenex brand is the only one with a lotioned variety that stores in my neck of the woods seem to carry. My seasonal allergies get so bad that normal/un-lotioned tissues leave my nose rubbed raw, even if I'm medicated.

They're cowards and just recorded the numbers he gave them, so he's still "officially" 6'3" and 215lbs.

It wasn't until I became a Doctor Who fan that I realised the Frizz is actually a rogue Time Lord. The bus is simply her TARDIS.

When I first started venturing about the internet in the early 2000s, I came across a definition of spam that has yet to fail me as either a user or a moderator: stupid, pointless, or annoying messages. You haven't qualified as any of the above — except for those that are exactly the kind of stupid and pointless that Risa exists for.

Star Trek content is what we're all here for, and IMO there's precious little of it on the Fediverse. If posting here is the only way you're getting that sweet sweet serotonin right now, then I say post away my friend. You're helping yourself and providing much needed content.

Keep it up, man. For real.

Gonna back off a bit today.

Please don't! The Fediverse needs content, and while I guess I can't speak on behalf of the whole community I will say that I've really come to appreciate yours.

It's like looking in a mirror. A word mirror. That I'm... reading.

Maybe it's better that I stopped.

Yeah, I struggle to identify a full episode of TNG that stands out to me as "funny" the way Voyager had Bride of Chaotica or SNW has the LD crossover; but there are lots of little moments like this one across the whole series that the other shows have a good number of, but not of the same caliber, y'know?

The scariest for me is still Best of Both Worlds, Part 1. I was literally an infant when it first aired, but I remember seeing it in reruns when I was maybe five or six years old.

When I was a child, Captain Picard was almost a god to me — not in a hero worship kind of way, but almost a literal sense. He was firm but kind, intelligent but humble, and always did the right thing no matter what it meant for himself. And Patrick Stewart even sounds like what I thought God's voice might be like.

The Borg had been looming in the background all episode, and then when they finally show up they stole Picard, corrupted him, made him into a monster that wanted to hurt everyone Picard cared for, and forced Riker (who I vaguely remember believing as a kid was Picard's son) to kill him... it felt like the whole world was crashing down. And worst of all Captain Picard wasn't going to be there to put it back together, because the Borg just took him.

ETA: and when the away team is trying to explain to Riker what they saw, Worf sounds so lost and angry when he just shouts "He is a Borg". It was a terrifying, almost traumatic experience for me.

And then the episode just... stopped. I was so young I'd never experienced a cliffhanger before. And to this day I bet I could count on one hand the number of cliffhangers that hit me as hard.

Man, fuck Jordan Peterson.

Huh. I would say literally the exact opposite.

Hard to argue with that logic.

It's my favourite as well. My parents watched TNG and DS9 when I was a kid, but Voyager was the first Trek that I went out of my way myself to watch. Kathryn Janeway is high on my list of personal (albeit fictional) heroes.

I read an article just this morning that said it's expected to release with version number 1.6.35 or something, meaning they been patching and updating it ahead of release. That's likely what the delays have been about — to polish it up in advance to avoid the kind of negative press that surrounded Cyberpunk 2077 at release, which came from a studio that had a great deal more goodwill from the community than Bethesda.
