War never changes.

Even as a kid watching that I remember being like “wait what… really?”

When they made it a major part of nemesis I was so annoyed.

This comment thread was a trip!

Ensign Sonya Gomez over here thanking the replicator

TNG “Q Who?”

SONYA: Hot chocolate, please.

LAFORGE: We don’t ordinarily say please to food dispensers around here.

SONYA: Well, since it’s listed as intelligent circuitry, why not? After all, working with so much artificial intelligence can be dehumanising, right? So why not combat that tendency with a little simple courtesy. Thank you.

GIMP is great but it definitely needs its own Blender 3.0 moment where they just completely overhaul the UI.

I’ve used it as my primary raster app so I’m way used to it now, but I totally understand the people who just never even bother to learn it because they are so turned off by the absolutely bonkers design decisions.

my guess would be it was the smallest/fastest mac they could get and the scenic design team used macs almost exclusively and probably had no interest taking a chance on a different platform. Just a hunch tho.

Old Macs and Trek, two of my favourite things.

Here is Denise Okuda in front of her Quadra 700. She used it to make all the wonderful LCARS and other alien UI panels on DS9. This was her taking a break while working on the DS9 pilot in 1993.

I wish Eric had given us pebble v2 instead of beeper, honestly.

Yeah FAM 100% feels like Expanse: The Prequel to me but totally different in tone and format. Just this last season I think we witnessed the genesis of the OPA and MCR.

That reminds me I need to buy some land in bozeman montana.

Facing Worlds too. Solid map.

I was that dude who brought his iMac g4 to an all PC LAN party

Big time loser, but I regret nothing!

Recently started rewatching babylon5 and man is it great but also wow can you totally tell each Babylon 5 EP is like half the budget of a DS9 one.

Cardboard sets, bad lighting. But the acting and writing totally make up for it. You get a scene with g’kar or londo and it’s easy to suspend your disbelief. Definitely a great show that still holds up.

This skit always summed it up for me.

Whatever. Treknobabble is great, you’re all just command division slouches who dont know anything about EPS grids.
