Look up the Brandon Mayfield case. An American Muslim-convert lawyer in Portland got linked to the 2004 Madrid bombing because his fingerprint got erroneously identified on some of the evidence. It really shook up the way people looked at fingerprint evidence.

Sounds like a pass for me. There are a lot of critiques of how New Trek betrays the heart of Trek that I agree with in principle, but I’d pretty readily forgive those if I thought the writing was any good.

To be fair, that’s one of the one or two negative reviews in a sea of very positive reviews.

Picard and Discovery suck poo poo, yet I keep watching them. You think clanging dialogue and dodgy plotting will stop me?

The reviews tend to skew along the lines of "Well, it's really great to have a bright-looking show, with fun characters, and an episodic style," but then somewhere near the end say, "But, eh, by the way, the stories themselves kind of stink. But, hey, it's a nice start!"

Also keep in mind that with the positive reviews, those are the outlets that will always say good things about everything so they don't lose access to preview screenings and swag.

Grandpa Sisko has clearly spent time working on the problem, because he did not just come up with that on the fly. Maybe he was a secret Changeling!

Dave Spock, works as the line supervisor at a window factory, spends his weekends woodworking, occasionally thinks about his brother the Starfleet science officer and wishes him well. Solid dude.

I finished Foundation and while it's such a waste of a premise and budget, it's pretty much a drawn out version of DS9s Statistical Probabilities. Bashir even guest stars!

I'm aware that they don't eat, so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't have that sense. If you can't taste your own food, how are you going to know it's any good?

Most NuTrek is just time killing filler until Lower Decks comes back with another season. "The good thing is coming soon, we promise" But for sure NuTrek doesn't have the monopoly on stilted writing. As long as SNW can entertain me on some level more than the other live action shows do, it's a potential winner in my book.

I was skeptical about Lower Decks but when the second episode ended with the future classroom being taught that the most legendary person in Starfleet was Miles O'Brien, I knew it was the only good modern Trek.

It's also an oversaturation thing, their model is clearly to have new Trek every single week but they also have 5 shows.

God there was an astounding amount of horny energy just emanating off of everything in those early TNG episodes. They should have hit Gene with a bucket of cold water every time he came into work.

I didn't watch the series but lol, the novels had none of that in there The novels themselves are actually fairly dry, the narrative is far more about exploring the idea of psychohistory (I.E. you can predict the progression of civilization on a very large scale using sociological data or not) and if history progresses by large scale movements versus great men. There are some pretty good characters that pop up but they are only there to drive the plot rather than explore their sex lives

You get conspiracy minded motor mouth, child-like easily manipulated and upset, over-sexed, and completely introverted.

Apparently I've never actually watched my TNG S1 Blu-ray, because while watching "Haven", it's suddenly become obvious I never traded in my discs with the busted audio mix.
