The earth starbase is probably my favourite object in star trek. It's just so loving big and different yet it's clearly a product of the federation. I wish the series explored more "federation infrastructure" like that. I'd have so liked to have seen more cities, industrial replicators, shipyards, orbital habitats and so on. The cool massive-scale space stuff we only get hints of here and there, mostly due to budget.

They might have erased someone from the space-time continuum with their engine. Reminds me of our worries about the Large Hadron Collider.

God this is such a good episode. It's so small and intimate and I really wish Trek had more stories like this.

It's sort of interesting that there's two Crusher episodes (which is probably like 50% of the episodes focusing on her) that have her playing the role of detective. She's good at it too, and if they played up her job as the person who tells everyone else that poo poo isn't right then that would have improved her role in the cast imo. fake edit: That's her job in Cause and Effect too, even though that episode isn't about her

Man it took her a long time to figure out to go to Engineering. I was saying it to her for like three minutes.

They're so loving cool. DS9 is even cool despite being a Bajoran one. The one from Beyond was mega cool. More Starbases, please

drat that was a good episode. It wasn't what I was expecting at all from the title. I also like how they fully foreshadowed what was happening with Wesley being confused about where his mom went, but I didn't put together what that meant until it told me. Also it was incredible when it slowly moved the camera through the portal and ended on this shot:

I want more civilian starbases like Beyond where you just have a bunch of post-scarcity people going 'let's do something cool'. If anyone ever read Alistair Reynolds, I basically want the Glitter Band around Earth. But without the moral depravity.

People should keep in mind that when B5 aired, everyone was watching on SDTVs that were typically 27" or smaller. At that scale and resolution, the CGI was very passable. Granted, watching it now, using the DVDs with cropped CGI effects, on large HD displays, the CGI looks like hairy rear end.

It's kind of sad that when they do something visually interesting on TNG that it's worth this much attention. I do love Beverly being so utterly determined during this episode though, coming to the conclusion that "If there's nothing wrong with me then there's something wrong with the universe" is a pretty huge leap but also fits her perfectly. That stubborn streak shows up nicely later on with the whole metaphasic shield poo poo

People also seem to only remember first season B5 CGI. It got a lot better as the show went on and the big battles in the later seasons look great.

You know how if you Google search something that has a definite answer ("atomic weight of scandium" or something), it'll just give you that answer at the top of the page, above all the relevant links? And how if you use the voice recognition on your phone, it'll just speak that answer back to you, just like the computer on Star Trek? For several years, Google would respond to a query of "What is the nature of the universe?" by answering "The universe is a spheroid region 705 meters in diameter." Because that's the next line. And so that was the answer, according to all of Google's pattern matching stuff. It was wonderful. I was so sad when they finally fixed it and started giving a real answer based on cosmology and stuff.

I remember coming across B5 occasionally on TV (when it was new) and laughing at how bad the CGI looked. I'm sure I'd be more charitable if I gave it a chance now, but it was definitely a turn-off for me and no doubt thousands of other Trekkies.
