Oh you�ve redecorated! It�s badly spelled.

Similarly in His Way, the "bow tie" is slightly off, it's the wrong shape, and layered incorrectly as it's under his shirt collar instead of sticking out of the front like it should be. Unless that's an older style of tie that I'm unfamiliar with. :P

That�s one of the ways bow ties used to be worn, yes. The bow tuck. Sometimes you still see it.

I�ve never seen the turtleneck undersuit they wore in Voyager, and it looks really comfortable??

This was Garrett Wang�s, and answers the question of how they peed.

i never really watched boston legal when it was on the air, were those jump cuts and weird pans in the original? good lord that's distracting

That was my only thought, I could barely pay attention to the scene. It seems like there�s a cut every second, and it�s incredibly frustrating to watch.

I saw a snatch of some random season 5 episode last night, and Picard was so warm to Bev, it�s easy to forget they did a really good job of humanising him.

IIRC one of Okuda's technical manuals literally says that LCARS authenticates you by fingerprint and a few other metrics every time you touch the panel, they just never actually used that in the show

They do when the episode where the kid from Robocop 2 blows up that Oberth class. They specifically show him he couldn�t do anything (he thinks he pressed a button on the bridge) that would harm the ship because he wouldn�t have access.

There is no way that academy training doesn't include significant zero G instruction. Especially after TUC.

And then there's the memes about Jake basically wearing the seats from a city bus

But on Jake they work? His later season clothing is strongly reminiscent of African kente cloth.

Equinox gave us the Nova Class, which is a lovely little ship.

That rapidly becomes a �why send people into space at all?� argument. Why do we need him when the computer can do it? Why have a pilot when the computer could do it? Why have a science crew when the computer could just scan things? Etc

Starfleet via Wall-E and the ship passengers. Yeah, they�re on the ship, but the computer does everything.

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?

Picard never changed the locks.

Pelia's accent is great.

If you think of it as an accumulation of accents over the millennia, it fits perfectly!
