this is great Trek, among the best Trek, all about how to keep going after loss and failure, with help, and, just as important, by giving help if you can.
it got me all face wet like the end of TNG “The Offspring”, Data’s daughter, but the focus there was more on loss than what Data learned and how he grew from his loss. This ep was a celebration of that resilience after trauma.
some people think using sticks and stone tools was the first meme, others reckon it’s spoken language.


if you’re posting about diversity being a negative, you’ve totally missed the point of all Star Trek since 1966.


i love the strong-breath birdy


yeah they edited the comment to be all three actual % symbols after i replied, it was two ℅ symbols and a final % before.
℅ shows up as a long-press option on my particular android keyboard after the % key, so probably something like that.


for anyone else wondering, ℅ is a “care of” sign and is apparently used in writing addresses on envelopes.


in TOS, so several years after this episode, M’Benga knows to repeatedly slap Spock in the face to get him out that week’s Vulcan bullshit.
it’s a reliable treatment!


Was it shown as connected Ent-D style? That makes sense for the D, we can see the room and windows from the outside, but the SNW conference room is huge, much bigger than the D’s, where could it fit in the 1701 dash nothing’s saucer-top dome?
I guess they have TARDIS-like “bigger on the inside” tech now, given Pike’s half-acre quarters and the ludicrous outside-the-turbolift scene in the Q&A Short Trek.
(not a grumpy old trekkie, honest, i generally love SNW)


ehh, that doesn’t fit with Julian Bashir, the treatment to relieve his learning impairments was illegal, so his father went for the enhancement package because that wasn’t extra illegal on top.


i guess Scotty’s comment while transporting about not wanting to jumble up Pike and M’Benga was a nod to this.
perhaps that Delta quadrant flower is a distant cousin of the Chimera blossom.


i didn’t say any such thing.


some people putting flowers out just after the October massacres totally negates and outweighs years of consistent UN votes, sure, whatever you say.

being anti-Iran is not the same as being pro-Israel.
please, brace yourself for a challenging thought - two different things can both be bad.


I seem to remember Jeff explaining his choice, and a big factor was that Nebula doesn’t have comments under videos, nor any other similar forums for video posters and watchers to chat. I think he said he wouldn’t be happy without that direct interaction.


Iranians are generally Persian, not Arab. Arabs are a very small minority in Iran.
Not now, Madeline!
