Aside from being pretentious, overly fancy, and expensive as poo poo, my guess is that the dynamic shape of it is intended to let you sit, recline, and generally loaf in it in a wide variety of poses. Just compare to how Worf and Joey sit on it.

You're more or less correct. The original designer talks about folks using it to recline or "to see over crowds at airports".

When in doubt, err on the side of Awesome!

Since the game itself doesn't have a thread does anyone need a copy of the Star Trek Ascendancy Ferengi and Cardassian expansions?

For reasons of forgetfulness I ended up with an extra copy of each.

Watching Devil In The Dark, randomly, and christ.

"Hey, we've found these perfectly spherical things, almost egg-like. Let's just fuckin' run over 'em with a big-rear end machine!"

(ten minutes later)

"Holy poo poo, there's this alien thing that is seriously and actively pissed off! Whatever could it mean?!"

Like Kirk with the "First man that fires is dead" line, though, said so flatly that you know he's not loving around.

Clues so far:

- They went through a wormhole
- Something incubating in Crusher's lab that shouldn't be
- Planet they thought was habitable is not

A Paramount sound stage, probably either stage 8 or stage 16.

That is probably most likely, but I was watching a youtube video the other day about movie and tv locations and the real world places that they used. Though most of the locations were probably with a 20 minute drive of Burbank.

Was the Kirk fight Power Rangers rock used in an TNG episodes? And Isn't the building the Borg are hanging out in when Lore is leading them UCLA?

Any of us from the old Stargate threads will know how often UBC was used for "slightly futuristic city" shoots.

Episode over. I didn't say anything during the reveal because my mind was busy being blown. The part about humans finding mysteries irresistible was good, but the best was the weird philosophical stuff about memory.

Vasquez Rocks?



The Mintaka scenes from Who Watches the Watchers were filmed there, but I think they tried not to shoot the iconic sloped rock and make it too obvious.

e: Welp, guess they had to include the sloped rock:

My favorite thing about Clues is Data's bullshit explanation sounds exactly like the explanations TNG always gives us for their weird space anomaly of the week, and the only way we know it's different this time is instead of nodding along and spouting more babble the other characters wait until he leaves and go "none of what he said makes any loving sense"

The worst thing is that Picard half-threatens Data with not just being booted out of Starfleet, but of dissection to figure out what 'went wrong' with him.
