It wasn't played during the actual ceremony, so it was probably just a piece of music the band learned because someone on the band is a Trekkie and it's a nice piece of music so they played it while people were getting seated.

Is Borg just short for cyborg? Why would this alien race use a name based on an English/Earth word? Is the universal translator doing that, and it’s actually some alien word for cyborg? What’s Klingon for Borg?

Actually every single person in the Star Trek future is a little person, but low gravity in space elongated them like Belters so they look the same height as 20th century talls

Jimbone Tallshanks posted:It's bugged me since "Measure of a Man" showed that the Starfleet justice system can make rulings on personhood. That's something that would probably end up at the highest court in the quadrant and take years to sort out. ACTUALLY, the "Measure of a Man" judge specifically said she wasn't qualified to rule on personhood, iust that Data isn't Starfleet property.

 That makeup job is from season 5, Violations, when Crusher flashes back to viewing her husband's body with (a slightly younger and hairier) Jean-Luc. You can tell by the whatever-it-is on his temple, barely visible in the linked tweet.

I think that's supposed to be some kind of futuristic healing patch, like the stuff on his head at the end of BOBWpt2.

Also they didn't make Stewart wear a wig, he chose to wear one of his own volition for the audition and had one couriered to LA from his home in London, and made it a couple of takes into the audition with it on before Gene told him to take it off and try it again. Which is where the famous "in the 24th century, people won't care about baldness" quote comes from.

I don’t get how the Romulans had such advanced tech in Enterprise that they could make a drone ship that not only could be piloted remotely via telepathy but also could repair itself and operate without a crew, and create a holographic skin that could fool sensors. And it outgunned everything it came across though some of that may have been due to subterfuge. Were the romulans that far ahead of the other races?

The Romulans being really really far ahead of anyone else when it comes to projections and sensor fooling does hang together. And the super remote piloting was basically just exploiting a specific species ability, they had to kidnap an Aenar to pull it off. It's mentioned in the episode that the Andorians experimented with telepresence but couldn't make it work, I'm wondering if they really did make something that would work with Aenar but the Romulans sabotaged it and made it seem to fail and nabbed the tech. It would explain why it's so specific. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Mar 31, 2024 |

Disco klingons were at least a century ahead of humans when it comes to disguising yourself as another species. Even in TOS that one guy apparently working alone was able to do a pretty good job, but he couldn't fool a basic medical tricorder like the one in disco. Or Bones was super good at detecting extra dicks, IDK.

Interesting. I had trouble buying the ship repairs itself ignoring all the rest of the tech.

the federation probably experiments with self-repairing ships once every couple of decades until the system attains malevolent sapience.

We've seen starfleet come out with "new" holographic displays at least 3 times. And then return to viewscreens with no explanation. Years later they are invented again.

Facebook Aunt posted:Lots of tech is like that. We've seen starfleet come out with "new" holographic displays at least 3 times. And then return to viewscreens with no explanation. Years later they are invented again. I like to think the explanation is "99% of the time there's no actual upgrade to a projective holographic interface, it just takes up space without improving the display enough to bother with" and they box it for another 80 years until some nerd comes up with this brilliant idea to revolutionize computers all over again. TNG showed us the three kinds of hologram that are actually useful: giving viewscreens depth of field, making instant display models for things easier understood in 3D instead of 2D (the planet with the weird orbit), and fully immersive recreational/diagnostic simulations in a volumetric chamber. Nobody needs a hologram version of the Kinect taking up floor space just to talk to Admiral Bob.

Holographic displays are just the Star Trek equivalent of VR. They gain popularity once every couple of decades before they realise that they only have some pretty niche uses and it's not worth putting up with their bulkiness so they go back to what they were using beforehand.

We see on occasion that the viewscreen is 3D in TNG, I like to imagine that plenty of the console displays can be if they need to be and sometimes are, it's just that the camera is 2D so we don't notice. Maybe that's what the little protruding inset screens like this are for, maybe they're holotanks and the visualisation was 3D.
