dur posted:why didn't they just put a teleporter in the sick bay and the bridge. would solve a lot of problems imo if i remember right when they were first planning a new trek series in the 70s they were going to have little one-man transporter pads on the bridge and in sickbay i think with those they figured the bulky equipment would still be at the transporter room and the bridge/sickbay pads would basically be like extra pad space directly connected via a long extension cable or something like that

Iain Banks was a decent human being who wrote good books  I, too, hope to one day be a decent human being who writes good books It's not a big aspiration but I think it's achievable

Started reading Consider Phlebas on audiobook since I'm getting laser eye surgery on thursday. Great narrator, and drat the story and writing is good. It's a shame Iain Banks died.
