I just watched First Contact for the first time in years and lol, I forgot it was where the tommy gun scene came from. Also, why did Worf have a self-destruct authorization code for the Enterprise-E?

I wouldn't be surprised if some Starfleet officer's command codes were the Trek equivalent of your luggage lock being set to 1234. If we can't teach people how to make good passwords after 20+ years of the internet being real then maybe we'll never be able to. "Computer: authorization delta, gamma, alpha, beta - engage"

He was temporarily assigned to the E as a bridge officer. His code comes along with that assignment.

Jimbone Tallshanks posted:He's half-Vulcan so maybe he gets the worst urges of both. I'm only one episode into season 2 of Enterprise, so I can't say for sure, but T'Pol's answers to questions about her own sexuality are incredibly diplomatically phrased, so much so that meaning can easily be hidden in her responses. There's also the exchange between Archer and T'Pol when Archer sneaks into her room to tell her that the mission isn't being canceled after all. When he first enters, he mentions that her neighbor likely saw him sneaking into her room. T'Pol replies by describing her neighbor as "discrete". You can read a lot into that descriptor. There's also copious intimacy between Spock and T'Pring in SNW, and that certainly wasn't happening in seven year cycles for her.

I would think with the computer's voice recognition capabilities the actual password doesn't matter that much. Except when Data flips out and takes over the ship.

I have to wonder if the prefix number is combined with something else to make it more secure, since '16309' is laughably weak.

Maybe it's just a confirmation code so the ship doesn't accidentally self-destruct because someone casually mentioned it. Kind of like a safe word.

Nah the biometric scanners count people of the same immediate family as the same person. The people who design starfleet ships like creating family drama as they get a bit bored sometimes you see.

zoux posted:I've always figured the pon farr was an evolutionary response to Vulcan's lack of a libido due to logic but there really hasn't been enough time since Surak's reforms for such a drastic evolutionary change and it doesn't seem to be a problem for the Romulans so what's the deal there I feel like the Vulcans, even if they had successfully eliminated libido, would realize that having a civilization endure requires procreation and would just lie back and think of Vulcan to ensure a sufficient population.

There seems to be a pretty clear corralation between academics/intellectuals/nerds and freaky sex stuff. Vulcans have hella libido, they just really like edging and have settled on 7 years as the optimal amount for Vulcan physiology.

Carbon Creek was a really good TOS throwback episode of Enterprise. I know people have said even good Enterprise is just cribbing from other shows, but I guess I don't hate that. This episode, along with the episode where an AI steals Mayweather's brain to run a computer network, show that you can repackage a premise and still get some life out of it. Plus, between this and SPOCK'S BRAIN I guess we learn that there is just like a whole branch of space technology built on the assumption that brains can be readily stolen from people and integrated into computer networks. I have to give "A Night in Sickbay" credit for trying something different with the format of the show, and I guess exploring themes of "getting laid in space" is actually relevant since, yeah that's a thing we'd have to figure out for years long deployments. But man that's two encounters with the Kreetassans we've had now and both have resulted in unwanted pathogens onboard Enterprise. I guess they have to be polite because they're a filthy, filthy people. Also, Dr. Phlox was loving mental in that episode. I feel like the writers must have recognized how popular he was and just went hogwild with it, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Between this and his antics in Two Days and Two Nights, I think it's time for them to be a bit more conservative on how much exposure he gets. Spock's Brain? Spock's Brain. Spock's Brain!

They were really going for that low-budget Matrix vibe. It's also funny because they were talking earlier in the episode about how big of a room the computer would need to accomplish what it does, but there just isn't a room that size on the station. Then they find the neural network and it's... a very large room filled with racks of bodies occupying a space that a computer better than Enterprise's could easily utilize.

"Dead Stop" also features the fantastic comedy beat of a snooping Reed and Tucker getting transported directly onto Enterprise's bridge and T'Pol giving one of the best "These two loving dipshits" eyerolls of her career.

There are a bunch of TOS episodes where Kirk and team end up on a primitive planet, sometimes literally Earth, and have to blend in while looking for a way home.

Didn't Enterprise have its Doctor do a genocide, or something war crimey adjacent and then have it go "He did the right thing and this is the basis for the Prime Directive."
