…I’m half-German

I’m not sure where the comedy is.

Horses for courses but I gave it a real good go, and other than “robot head be horny” I failed to see anything funny about it.

In the early 2000s Channel 4 in the UK user to run sci-fi post 23:00 most nights; mostly Stargate SG1, a little Seven Days, Sliders IIRC, that sort of thing. I was 14 and enjoying staying up late, but god damn; when Lexx came on it was time to go to sleep. What a horrible mess of a show.

It’s only one page long and reads

“I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all… I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it. “Also I’m a god now”

TNG didn’t redesign the Klingons, that was the The Motion Picture with subsequent small revisions through the TOS films.

Teen: “Excuse me; how do I become a Tech Lead like you someday” Lead: “By simple luck of the draw I am the best at googling other people’s solutions to my team’s YAML config issues.”

Will it is the World Cup at the moment.

The one on the desk of Admiral Paris; obviously.

Gloriously so.

The Ori and Pah Wraiths are startlingly similar.

That poster is wrong I’m afraid. Though not every job in animation was impacted (some were non-union, some accepted the interim agreements) Lower Decks definitely was. The cast is all SAG and all struck.

SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.

Don’t worry bud, there literally isn’t a good translator for Scots online. It’s a minority dialect.

I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but fash doesn’t make sense in this sentence. Fash means a few things but they are all variations on personal worry.

If the maker was looking for an analogue nonsense or ruckus then Bauther would work.

I think that what the authors, and indeed most fans, think is that TWOK was what made TNG possible. Had the film not captured the cultural attention of its time there’s very slim chance that more trek would ever have been produced. It was a Hail Mary and it paid off.

The demon barber of fifth deck!

That’s a great analogy and helps me understand your argument much better. There is something I think you’ve missed though, which is that advertisers pay to be in the publication, and they pay at the point the print occurs. Rendering in your browser is the analog to hitting the print button, not putting it on a server to be pulled down. In your analogy, the advertiser has paid already before you consume the magazine; but for YouTube the advertisers don’t pay as their adverts are never compiled into the magazine. If you want to write a browser that still calls the ads api and plays the video in the background so YouTube gets the ad revenue but you have “cut it out” then I don’t imagine google would care half as much.

I am sorry but that argument simply doesn’t make an awful lot of sense to me. Unless I am missing a facet, you are saying that your autonomy outstrips their rights? If we were to make an analogue version of that argument would your autonomy to use your hands how you see fit, allow for you to walk into a shop and take something without paying? It seems like, unless I’ve missed something, that’s the analogy.

Commerce and indeed society has always been a balance of personal autonomy and rules, with YouTube you’re going to a website and circumventing their chosen rules. I might not agree with YouTube’s methods, but I don’t think I can get behind the argument they are impinging on your technical rights any more than Tesco does if you try to half-inch a chocolate bar.

Of what I read the author seems to either not understand linear time, or have explained it poorly. The events of SNW don’t happen “before the … 2009 theatrical release”; they happen after that stardate, by 20 something years, and crucially, in a different timeline…

Edit: Apologies to have responded without realising OP is the piece’s author. It wasn’t my intent to be offensive. Basically, OP, the JJ events have nothing to do with the Prime timeline (except the instantiating incident) so marking time based on those factors isn’t common. I might seem like the worst type of sneering Trekkie dork, but Kirk is a living character in his late twenties in Strange New Worlds. The show isn’t taking place before he was born; just before he was Captain. Spock doesn’t require supernatural abilities that defy aging to stay in basically the same job for 10 years.

Oops all Scott Bakula.
