I can get it being back by the 32nd century, but I still wonder why Nova Squadron (or any elite academy group beyond a simple honors society) came back in Prodigy relatively shortly after:
Bang, bang, Mak’zel’s silver hammer came down upon her head. Bang, bang. Mak’zel’s silver hammer made sure that she was dead.
It’s not saying to be a jerk to people.
“Masking” is when a person with autism hides associated mannerisms in order to blend in with neurotypical people (make themselves “more palatable”), such as avoiding hand stims or atypical (but still healthy) reactions of enthusiasm.
“Unmasking” doesn’t mean giving up anything you do to be considerate of others (such as not giving unsolicited 15 minute rants about my hyper fixations); it just means not trying to pretend to be a neurotypical person, consciously or subconsciously, and to just be your authentic self, autistic self.
I agree with my sister that it should have been a flashback later in the season; they didn’t need to tell us so directly in the first episode.
Then again, DS9 did the intro text thing explaining Wolf 359, so…
Really? I think the show’s so gosh darn horny in that disgusting Rick Berman way all the time that I’d take almost anything over it.
Why does the Enterprise D bridge look like the interior of a 1990s car stretched out?
And being a former Vegas resident, DS9 accurately pictures being in one of the more run-down Vegas casinos.
Also, honestly, I think modern campus architecture has embraced this “casino look” you describe, weirdly enough.
You only watched season 1 of LD didn’t you?
I think part of it too is 32nd century Trek has already done a lot of sociopathic, who’s-gonna-stop-me, “because I’m evil”-type villains, and we need someone a little more gray, or at least psychologically compelling; as seen with Gul Dukat and Kai Winn, you can still pull off interesting but pure evil characters.
His consciousness is uploaded after death into a torture simulation by a curious computer with emerging sentience for several hundred years a la I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream; when the computer finally learns its lesson and builds a new body for O’Brien’s backup consciousness, he just gets right back to work, centuries of technological progress be darned.
It would use fields or something to do different things for different people; an escalator for some, a wheelchair life for others, normal stairs for those who choose, but for Miles O’Brien’s transporter clone stuck in the 32nd century, it sets the gravity to 10x and forces him to crawl with all his might to the stairs’ control panel. This happens once a week.
But maybe they’re magic sci-fi stairs…
Also, hi. It’s been a while. I usually neglect this community, as I’m more active on TMBW Discord, but I like to post something every once in a while in case a BG fan stumbles onto Lemmy.
