I think I would be more receptive to having my opinions changed if I actually encountered a rational and calm person who presented facts and not immediately assume I held a strawman position or argued in bad faith.

Well we aren’t going to cut off the young actor’s Finger to match OG Scotty. That’s just cruel.

The Moist books were all really good!

That’s the last thing I need, a possible romantic partner who would know how often I use Booleans as method parameters.

I know there’s an xkcd for everything, but this is ridiculous…

Is he crocodilian?

I’ve never watched TOS all the way. Best I can recall is the 2009 movie in which the Vulcan kids bullied Spock and the High command “complimenting” Spock for being accepted into the academy despite his biological disadvantage. In the main timeline, I think Disco mentions it.

It’s a logical point that since vulcans don’t have the disadvantages of humanity that they are superior, from a certain point of view. When the faux vulcans said something speciest, Spock commented that it was “technically” logical. This implies even Vulcans understand Logic can be a spectrum of finesse. Infinite diversity in Infinite Combinations is a Vulcan idiom after all.

C/Tenforward is leaking again.

5 alternates between ending in 5s and 0s.

Also Lots of School House Rock.

OP could put the box in the fridge while waiting for a response. I’ve done this for neighbors who were getting back home the next day and their perishables came early.

Ice packs in the box. A lot of food subscription delivery service packages look like this. The inside has an extra layer of thicker paper to resist condensation

The fancy ones use dry ice instead of regular

It is definitely a sport to watch live at the stadium and not on TV.

Cool. Today I learned.

What’s with the accent over the letter é in be?

I miss you too. Why do you never call?

Honestly? This episode was a bit of a miss for me.

Pros

• I always like when an actor tries new accents. Sometimes it’s a swing and a miss, but I will reward risks.

• I liked the production value of the sci fi sets

• The Origin of canonical explanation of why the holodeck always worked whenever the power went out in Voyager.

• What…ever…that … Shatneresque…portal of …the Cap-tain was that Kirk did.

Cons

• Hypotheticals never are.

• I’m not thrilled by the amount of meta they packed in. We get it. TOS was canceled.

• Obvious outlandish twist is obvious.

• The holodeck doppelgangers were hard to connect with or remember their quirks.

• Spock doesn’t need a romantic relationship.

• The non sequitur in medias res cold open.

• Oh no! If you die in the holodeck, you die in real life. I’d love to see a Groundhogs day style holodeck episode where the characters are functionally immortal.

I am calling it. The reason Bones and Mbenga know each other will be not for both being respected doctors but because they use the same divorce attorney.
