Loved the Clint Howard cameo! Pretty amazing to still have actors all the way from TOS appearing!
I’ve used this for a while now, and it’s an excellent app. It’s genuinely refreshing to have apps that just do their job without fuss or feature creep.
Seems a bit disingenuous to compare the niche of tech folks that used Google+ to the niche that use WeChat, with the later “niche” being… China…
Not everyone has to agree that dominating a country’s social media usage is a good goal, but it clearly is the goal for many companies, and they’re going to continue to persue it. Perhaps users of social media should redefine success, but for creators of social media platforms there are absolutely clearly defined measures of success and failure.
I don’t know if it’s a canon connection to Star Trek in particular, but I loved the nod to the trope of using Toronto for NYC/Chicago/wherever.
Amazing as always!
As for regulations around personal logs, Star Trek has a long and confusing history with how it deals with privacy. I swear we’ve seen personal logs pulled up numerous times before (that one episode in TNG with Geordi and that woman’s dog?), including “Crisis Point” as mentioned.
Given that, I’d take it that Starfleet’s rules regarding personal logs are primarily focused on their admissibility in court, rather than general accessibility.
Was anyone saying it was dead? I guess it took a hit when What went down, but I don’t think people are going to stop listening to music…
This is a good reminder I should get back on soulseek, though; I used to use it and it was pretty great.
One of the things I really like about TNG is that the longer seasons allowed the writers to take more risks outside of the standard “planet of the week” episodes. Some of my favorite episodes are those that dive deep into some of the lesser seen characters and really flesh them out in a way we don’t usually get to see in more modern television. It depends if you’re more into this vs the more traditional plots, but if so I hope you’ll really like the late season episode “Sub Rosa”.
Wonderful to see you here, USSBurritoTruck! These posts are amazing as always! That catch about a possible Roger Korby connection is fantastic, and with all the focus they’ve put on Chapel’s relationship with Spock, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that come into play.
