    Or they can say this... Robert April’s NCC-1701 looked like this: Chris Pike’s 1701 was refitted to Disco-prise. Kirk’s was refitted to 1960s-prise. But frankly this is the problem with updating stuff design nearly 60 years ago that was made on what is today a shoe-string budget. It’s always going to look more advanced today.

    So what I read is true. Episode 3 is part 3 of this series premiere. Episode 1 setup this show, episode 2 was all exposition, and now episode 3 is launching us onto this grand adventure(?). And we're picking up more strays next episode...

    Any VF could be used for decades. It just depends on usage and need.

    That's the problem with this show. If you were basing this show on episode 1, yeah, it's horrible. You have to actually spend time and get through the first 3 episodes before it starts making any sense or gets good. Once you finish the season, that's when it all clicks and you have that epiphany moment.

    Childish, yes. But if you had a former employee that publicly berated you, on galactic TV news no less, then come to you begging for something, I would side with the Admiral on that point. No. And neither did the synthetics. People show animosity to many things in our polarizing world so it's not hard to imagine, unfortunately. And considering there werre reports of sex robots in 2017 being man-handled at consumer electronics trade shows...PUBLIC trade shows no less, I'm not just not shocked at the animosity to the synthetics.

    Sound like what I heard is right. This is actually a 3-parter series premiere. I shout obscenities at my various computing devices at least once a week. That's what those synthetics are; walking computers with gears and servos controlling limbs that do work.

    Gawds, this week was a much better episode. Since Chibnall co-wrote this episode, I'll assume this plays into the bigger plot this series. And no, not because of the special guest, but future episode reference that had to be inserted.

    Of all personal things to have at a workplace, why have something breakable???
  9. azrael
    Considering the length of the scene, I'd let that go.

    Kirk, Adm. Cartwright and the rest of them were part of the minority opinion with the Klingons. Also with the Klingons, the Federation and Starfleet maintained a better hand throughout. The minority argument did not have sufficient merit. With the Romulans, this time the minority opinion had more leverage with the burning of Mars and the lost of Utopia Planita. If the Romulans had the resources, they would have never asked for help, but they did.

    Think of this as a Praxis-moment/Khitomer Accords but with the Romulans. Two+ centuries of hostilities could finally come to an end.

    Not bad a start. It pulled some TNG-lore has oddly been showing up in my Youtube feed. Stupid Youtube algorithm. On the bright side, at least they acknowledge that Picard ain't a young man anymore and should not be running around.

    It works because it would have logically followed TLJ better than what we got. But yes, is all a hypothetical since this is not the movie that was made and what we got.
  14. azrael
    Yeah. Don't hold your breath.

    Again, we're back to the one-song-on-the-CD-album problem. You have to buy a subscription for just 1 show. But I'll just get a subscription and binge watch the show, then cancel. How many times is someone actually going to do that? What if there are 5 shows this year that you want to watch and it draws you in to follow again next year? What if it's another 5 shows next year on top of the next season of the original 5 shows? That's now 10 shows. I'm still waiting for ANY streaming service to put up a price to stream just ONE show. Just ONE show.
  16. azrael
    Well then, watch it yourself instead of listening to critics, corporate shills, or naysayers who are screaming "The PRODUCTION IS IS TROUBLE! RED ALERT! RED ALERT!". At least you'll have watched it then hated it.

    We should lead up to the Battle of Coruscant like with the “kidnapping” of Palpatine. But I think the best ending will close out Ashoka’s and the Clones’ story. Where is Ashoka at this point of her life and how does she get to where she is when we see her in Rebels? Are the clones just soldiers or are they more than that? What drove Rex to continue living after the war; not accept a life as a Stormtrooper?
  18. azrael
    Who said anything about paying for it?
  19. azrael
    Don't know about Andor. Kanan could be an easter egg with his master, Depa Billaba. The fall of Mandalore doesn't really happen until the Empire which is where Rebels stops short on.
  20. azrael
    And b*tching ranting for several paragraphs about it on a forum isn't going to help.
  21. azrael
    Season 7 should lead up to RotS. Season 7 should cover Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor removing their control chips, Maul leaving Mandalore, and likely Ashoka losing her old or getting new sabers.

    All these streaming services are going to backfire when the people maintaining subscriptions find it no longer financially feasible. We're back to the old buying-CDs-for-one-song problem with these streaming services.
  24. azrael
    I'll just watch it myself and see if I like it or not.

    I’m sure I could use LibreOffice since it does use Office 2003’s UI except I’ve spent my entire employed life in the MS Office-space and its many many iterations on both Windows and Mac platforms that it’s virtually impossible for me to get away from it, even at home. At least LibreOffice will open your files until you get a new copy of MS Office.
