Somewhere off scene in the turbolift during ST III...

Bones: “Did she change her face?”

Kirk: “I hadn’t noticed.”

Is THAT a Supra?

the Cow was the Dish of the Day at Milliways, which arrived when Zaphod Beeblebrox (accompanied by Arthur, Ford, and Trillian) requested to 'meet the meat'. It was described as a large dairy animal, a "large fat meaty quadruped of the bovine type." It was said to have large watery eyes, as well as small horns and what might have been an ingratiating smile on its lips. The creature seems peaceful and at ease, and at one point is described to have "mooed."

The creature offers Zaphod and his party his shoulder, braised in a white wine sauce, then goes on to offer other parts of its body, having worked hard to fatten itself up through force-feeding itself for months. Eventually, after Arthur and Trillian have expressed their shock and Ford has expressed his disinterest, Zaphod requests four rare steaks and the Dish of the Day goes off to shoot himself, telling Arthur not to worry, as he says "I'll be very humane."[1]

Obligatory...

Was looking for classic Halloween music mixes on YouTube Music the other day while carving pumpkins with my daughter. A few well known songs came up and then all of a sudden songs that were not Halloween songs started playing in the list (some were regular well ( own pop songs). I let it go on for a few minutes and started seeing a theme that the non-halloween song had a often repeated word that was associated with Halloween... Demon, spirit, spooky... So AI generated playlists based on keywords?

Then came along AI generated "Halloween classic" songs that sounded as if they were from the 1950's. They were ok, but annoying knowing that it was just slop.

If you don't go into it looking for a challenging and thoughtfully laid out story and just want to be entertained, you will enjoy them. The director wants you to feel like you were in a audience at a magic show by reminding you constantly that while you were looking over here the actual trick was being done over there and if you had paid closer attention you could have pieced the puzzle that was the movie together. Except that of course what we are shown is only the distraction and the trick is only explained later on for the benefit of the story and to make the characters seem extremely intelligent and competent.

It is a bit tropeish as you know that somehow even when all the cards are down (is this a pun as we are talking about magicians?) they will somehow pull it off in the end and be successful.

Think the Ocean's 11 series of movies with magicians.

Thanks! Edited

Honestly that's what happens when you try to date Dru

So Picard went rogue, but what of the other 1,000 (possibly up to 6,000) other crew members (not to mention civilian family members and passengers)? They just went along with being pirates or Picard just dumped them off on some random planet/moon? I feel that there wouldn't be enough pro-pirate crew/officers to pull this off. There is so much Federation/Starfleet loyalty that I don't feel he would be able to round up enough people to keep the ship staffed (if Geordi decided not to join up and automate the ship). Active resistance from within the the ship by officers/crew/family members/passengers would eventually stop Picard dead in space.
