Jeb! Repetition posted:How long would it take to get a heatstroke at 131 degrees fahrenheit? I'm guessing a lot less time than to walk to a mountain on the horizon. Depends on the humidity. In very low humidity sweating is an efficient way to shed heat. Sunburn and dehydration would be a bigger concern. Once you're dehydrated the heat will kill you.

Trip report: DS9 season 4, episode 8 "The Sword of Kahless" I hadn't remembered the Sword of Kahless was the One Ring. I give Dax a lot of crap, but my favorite moment was her shooting Worf, and then, just as he begins to gloat, Kor. Speaking of whom, John Colicos is fantastic as always. Episode 9 "Our Man Bashir" Bashir shooting Garak felt earned here, in a way it wouldn't have earlier. Avery Brooks though, man. Sometimes he just goes off his meds or something, and puts in a really weird performance. I get that it's part of the premise, but he's... something else.

Brooks is what happens when an old-school artsy acting scenester learns the power of how to be the biggest ham in a five mile radius.

The Fuzzy Hulk posted:How do they eat? Milkshakes must be very popular on their plant. They did the "mouth covered in fleshy bits" thing more than once and somehow no one ever pointed out how this was dumb and would never happen even by Star Trek standards.

Once you're dehydrated the heat will kill you. Yeah you have to know the wet bulb temperature, which depends on humidity. Any wet bulb temp over 35 C it becomes impossible for the body to cool itself and you'll die in less time than you'd think.

Once you run out of sweat you get heat stroke and die then. 53 C is pretty extreme but maybe those uniforms are some kind of... nah they're just PJs.

My dad was watching The Savage Curtain earlier today and I'd completely forgotten what the villain looked like; I legitimately love this design. The mushroom head, the giant collarbone, the dinosaur legs, it's fantastic. It's tough to judge based on pictures alone, so here's a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEDLI3baJpw&t=140s It's a season three episode, so I'm sure the design was a product of limited time and budget, but I really dig how alien it ends up looking. It's the kind of design that could really only work in TOS.

The Savage Curtain may very well be my favorite episode of any TV ever. It's a miracle that when watching it, corn doesn't just steadily pour out of every hole in your TV.

Big Mean Jerk posted:My dad was watching The Savage Curtain earlier today and I'd completely forgotten what the villain looked like; One of S3's redeeming qualities is that there's a couple of the aliens that wind up memorably really weird rather than being completely normal humans but they're aliens because I said so, or humans with a bunch of latex on them. I assume this was a consequence of them being unable to afford normal humans to film or put latex on, but it still works. This guy, the Tholians, the dude from Specter of the Gun, the really ugly guy from Is There In Truth No Beauty...sometimes TOS' cheapness really works in its favor.

Intro thought: I hope this involves actual ghosts. Either way I'm interested to see if Troi feels some kind of overwhelming suffering coming from somewhere.

If I had empathy cheats I'd probably rely on them instead of reading people the old fashioned way, so I wonder if that means Troi's going to be mind-blind now.

Okay I've been wondering this for a long time, but is there some kind of production rule that people can't talk with their hands? It's weird seeing Picard with his arms just hanging down ramrod straight as he talks sometimes.

It's already been established that Troi went to school for psychology, so she's supposedly trained as a psychologist. I'm assuming she partied her way through school and graduated by the skin of her teeth or something, because apparently without her empathic abilities she can't do her job?

Marina Sirtis has told an anecdote about this one. Apparently when her husband saw it for the first time he asked her, "how come when Troi loses her powers she turns into Marina?"

Episode over. The part about the emotion that overloaded her being happiness instead of suffering was pretty cool, but otherwise it just wasn't good.
