All that hair is as wild and different and varied as federation starships. Basically all the same. The costumes do get confusing sometimes, mainly because of the whole screwy color thing. It was a bit of an odd decision to have a different dress uniform to the service uniform, but it's weirder when they did it in later series and the dress uniform was almost exactly the same as the service uniform. Also the impossibly expensive but totally unimpressive and drab grey jumpsuits. I think my favorite trek uniforms are the Wrath of Khan engineer outfits.

I have to assume that someone at the book publisher just used the terrible old-timey internet to look up recipes and grabbed the first one they saw for each dish and didn't notice some of them were joke recipes because I'm a midwestern white guy and even I know that's not how you make jambalaya.

I wonder if they went in and digitally fixed Weyoun's contact lenses. They slipped around all the time and were noticeable in SD.

It was pretty impressive to see DS9 on the big screen in HD when that doc came out Sadly I feel like it's going to be awhile before the series gets done. Although we're getting to the point where it becomes cheaper/easier all the time.

HD DS9 ain’t happening unless it’s a fan passion project, and even then it’s just a matter of how far they’ll get before CBS inevitably tries to shut them down.

Sorry to go back to Neelix's cookbook after those cool HD DS9 screenshots. But I also came across that cookbook thanks to a white elephant a few years back. By far the most interesting part was the behind-the-scenes commentaries about how much loving sheet cake they bought from LA bakeries to get the Deanna Troi cellular peptide cake just right.

It's more granular... if 0 F was "water freezes" and 100 F was "average human body temperature when healthy," maybe they'd have something to talk about.

Yeah but, to generalise massively, unless you're a scientist (in which case you don't care about having to use decimal points) nobody who uses fahrenheit ever bothers with temperatures more granular than multiples of five degrees F anyway.

Don't worry, Americans will have finally accepted that Celsius is superior by 2024 according to DS9.

The rest of the metric system has the excuse of simpler unit conversions (although most people using metric don't seem to actually bother with unit conversions), but Celsius doesn't. There's not really much advantage to having a larger degree or pegging the scale to whatever the hell point, and anybody who tries to concoct some reason why actually that's way better is accidentally making arguments against the rest of the metric system which has smaller units and is more arbitrarily pegged to constants. Nobody remembers the metric calendar either with 10 days in a week because it sucked rear end having to work more days straight until the weekend.

I don't think there's anything special in-universe about that day. First Contact Day is on April 5, an unfortunate coincidence because it'd unintentionally make it sound even more derivative.

It's the anniversary of the premiere. Yeah, in-universe you've got Federation Day on April 5 and Captain Picard Day on June 16th, the latter of which the nerdier fans already celebrate.
