I like the included tidbit that the Enterprise is not built to land. It just has to stay up in space forever. All the Trek I've watched all my life and I never really thought about that. Even though it seems like they crash it in every other movie, so clearly safe landings aren't its strong suit.

They're all built in space to stay in space. Gravity wells are for the filth.

Condition red. :) I imagine some bureaucrat at 80's Star Fleet decided that "red alert" sounded too scary and would stress people out. (Yes, I know it's still 1979. For like one more page.)
There's actually an episode of Star Trek Enterprise with a subplot of the tactical officer working out the equivalent of red alert but the captain wanted something which sounded less hostile. They settled for tactical alert if memory serves. It was the episode when the ship got blasted by strange autism radiation from a bi/triple star system that turned all humans into super spergs.

I believe Voyager is the only one we've seen with landing capabilities (or at least I remember at least one episode where it landed? It's been a long time).

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

:goonsay: Technically alert is a constant state having conditions and what is frequently referred to as "Red Alert" is actually "Alert Condition: Red."

Actually I think consistently calling it "Red Alert" is more of a TNG and onwards thing, but then that's my blanket assumption about any Trek protocol since TOS wasn't nearly as codified.

Ghostlight posted:

It's a narrative device the tv show uses to lower costs by enabling them to fill multiple minutes per episode with a generic transformation scene to protect his loved ones, as usual. The key thing is that as a vehicle to sell toys the writers of He-Man didn't bother to have internal consistency Skeletor's goal has always been to assault Castle Greyskull and the Sorceress rather than the Royal Family - the episodes where he fucks with them happen because the writer for that episode assumes his "take over Eternia" goal is to assume kingship rather than ultimate magical power by breaching Greyskull fairly rarely.

I'm really interested to see how these go - off to a promising start with multiple Two Bad insults without a repeat!

You're worried that Ripley's didn't take traffic into consideration? Maybe their estimate is for the afternoon when most hypothetical vertical flying space cars are traveling in the other direction.

Andy Capp is a wife-beating, unapologetic, unemployable, scrounging drunk. He is what the lower classes believe the upper classes think all the lower classes are like, and is what the middle classes secretly wish they could be. He is symptomatic of the class warfare inherent in all British life.
