First Contact is definitely on the top list of Star Trek movies/episodes for hitting a lot of the basic Trek themes. And also music scores, I get chills anytime I hear that main leitmotif.
I think the opening scene for the 2009 movie had more visual deaths in it than all the series combined. And one of the shockers of WoK was how we finally saw first hand what "casualties" looks like when you're right there.
And so Khan probably would have recognized anyone he had seen on the Enterprise then, even for a second. Actual episode elapsed time can be hours or days so he likely saw most of the crew.
There is existing, and there is being effective for the advertised job. Carbon capture certainly exists in different forms and makes sense as an addon to an existing emitter. It's hyped to be a lot more than what it does, even used to excuse more emissions growth, and that's the snake oil being talked about. In the end the only true "solution" is to reduce the actual production of emissions, something that the overall world is not will to do. And I put solution in quotes because we're decades behind on action that would be meaningful, having exponentially increased the pollution since then. We'd have to do far more than just stop emissions to fix anything.
Try LEGO imitators to see the actual minimums.
It wasn't clear if this drug would promote new "buds" to develop and then grow, or if it relies on existing dormant buds to have an effect.
"And Brian doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene.
He's got a daytime job, he's doing all right."
One can buy a new LEGO block today and it will fit onto an original LEGO. That's not ridiculous, that's magical.
I read that as "they voice their opinions too much".
That eliminates most of the frozen meals section. Before the jump in with "then don't buy those", you're not wrong. It's easy to point out the many things in society we shouldn't be doing, but not quite as easy to step back from them all.
In some other universe where the sequels had continuity in both plot and directing, it ended up making a lot of sense once revisited. As did Rey's history and path she took.
