The headline does not do the story justice - makes it sound like the judge didn’t respect Data’s hypothetical rights, when she in fact acknowledged them.

I overall agree with the ruling.

For some reason, I have the impulse to put this in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkinoUGmKZ4

(Phish wanted Frakes to do a horn part for one of their tracks, but his skills were not up to the task. To honor the attempt, they made this track out of a bunch of the failed takes.)

“I like the bridge.”

Currently running a campaign on 1st edition. May look into this.

Oh, my gosh. Weyoun is so beautiful! And you can make him smile! Now all we need is a Lakarian City playset… a pile of ash should do.

Just give us Prodigy S3. Granted, we’d have to see how they work it out, considering they’ve hit the Picard era.

Maybe we could just have a little “accident” where Admiral Janeway is visiting the Protostar when they all get whisked into the 2430s and can’t return so they don’t have to deal with Picard crap. It wouldn’t be as radical of a future as Discovery - we’ll just have a nice, peaceful era with only the occasional threat.

The Protostar has some new worlds to explore, while Janeway struggles to reintegrate into Starfleet and catches up with her still-surviving friends, probably including elderly Mr. Tysess, Tuvok (who, even with conservative estimates, probably still have 3 decades ahead of them) Chakotay (probably not in as good health as Tuvok or Tysess, but holding on), as well as the Doctor.

Besides potentially being able to do TNG monster of the week, you’ve got at least 1 free episode plot for checking in on Solum. Besides having some plot on thea now non-destroyed Solum, we could have Ilthuran’s reaction to being reunited with Gwyn after decades as well as, at a minimum, a bit of comedy from a nice, non-fascist Ascencia (It would be even funnier if this Ascenscia at one point became a legit Starfleet officer).

Yes I did, and now I’ve fixed it.

Ironically, the Cerritos is on 4 shifts, based one the existence of delta shift.

Note: In a few of these, I have multiple images of what I consider to be the main variants, which I would say are S1 E15 version, S1 E19 version, S2 E5/E9 version, and S2 E14 onward.

Some of the early episodes are important in my opinion but a little rough at times.

Once you hit season 2, there is rarely a bad episode - they’re all at the very least funny, except for “A Mathematically Perfect Redemption”, which is just the most brutal form of torture and an experiment in anti-storytelling. .

Not totally right. Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy are all decent as well. TOS is also worth a watch with an episode list, and TAS has a few good ones as well.

Discovery, in my opinion, isn’t as bad some say either. It’s hardly peak Star Trek, but I’ve found I enjoy it sometimes. I also have to throw in obligatory Orville suggestion.

As others have set, Lower Decks is not the first show you should watch though - it’s more enjoyable after watching everything. Also, both Lower Decks and Prodigy, I’d recommend watching through the first 10 or so episodes before making a judgement - the first few episodes aren’t their best. Lower Decks is often funny and at least once a season (from season 2) puts out a masterpiece that belong with the best of Trek. I’d say the top/my favorite LD episodes are (in no particular order):

• S1 E8 “Veritas”
• S2 E5 “An Embarrassment of Dooplers” (I hate the Dooplers, but everything else about that episode is solid)
• S2 E9 “Wej Duj”
• S2 E10 “First Contact”
• S3 E1 “Grounded”
• S3 E5 “Reflections”
• S3 E6 “Hear All, Trust Nothing”
• S3 E8 “Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus”
• S3 E10 “The Stars At Night”
• S4 E4 “Something Borrowed, Something Green”
• S4 E6 “Parth Ferengi’s Heart Palace”
• S4 E9 “The Inner Fight”
• S4 E10 “Old Friends, New Planets”
• S5 E2 “Shades of Green”
• S5 E4 “A Farewell to Farms”
• S5 E6 “Of Gods and Angles”
• S5 E7 “Fully Dilated” (I think there were some things I wish this episode did better, but I still enjofed it.)
• S5 E9 “Fissure Quest”

As long as it’s in Debian, I’ll use it.

Honestly, I’m tempted to move This Might Be Lemmy from lemmy.sorld, considering federation issues, if it would be allowed.

Actually, Mirror Chakotay was depicted in Prodigy (along with mirror Janeway). He likes to torture people like any good Terrain boi.

By Beta canon or otherwise, it’s heavily implied he doesn’t live that long in most timelines.

Excuse me. “Boss of Me” is early 2000’s music, thank you very much. 😑😂

Honestly, I kind of want Kirk to stay dead regardless of how they do it.

I like OpenStreetMaps’s solution. (Though you’ll have to dig a little - they don’t show names for large bodies of water like that by default.)

I do admit that while I found the plot ridiculous, I did find the character’s story interesting. It’s hard to go wrong with holodeck episodes, honestly.

I though of an interesting story based on that where from childhood, someone accidentally lives an entire simulated life based on the real world 20-40 years in the past and becomes a Starfleet officer in the simulation (down to a fake 4 years at the Academy, maybe with holo Boothby). The holodeck then gets shut off by real Starfleet officers. Besides the obvious emotional story, it would also be interesting if the simulation was accurate enough that the person’s experience made the captain decide to make them a provisional officer at the end of the episode.

I guess you can always remember the skin balloon from Doctor Who… unless you’ve never watched Doctor Who, in which case forget I ever said anything.
