There has always been an incongruence around the A where the original point, when it was revealed at the end of four, seems to have been that it was a recommissioned and renamed constitution class that had been recently refitted like the Enterprise was in TMP. But then Shatner came in with five and insisted that it was a brand new ship for some dumbass reason that most people seem to have retconned from the cannon.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she just heard somebody else say cabinet meeting and she thought it sounded cool.

That’s weird. Most of the cars I have had can open and close the windows from the fob. (Usually double press then hold unlock or lock, though one car I had [Accord] required the key in the door for the windows to go up.)

The day they killed off Windows Phone is they day I knew that there were no more devs left in the c-suite and that they were on a slow path to spinning off what’s left of their profitability.

They used to conduct them close enough to Vegas that you could see them:

The atomic mushroom cloud from The Priscilla Test, part of Operation Plumbbob, raised over Fremont Street on June 24, 1957.

I believe they have the option of just convening another grand jury.

I’m pretty sure Stitt is just the current president of the NGA.

One of the best things about DS9 is that they touched on the idea that those outside the Federation see the Federation as exactly how you just described.

For me that kind of ethics play and such is part of what is missing from new trek.

They haven’t changed the plumbing for printers since Vista, the changes they made then are part of why it took until 7 for things to work correctly.

Thanks for the warning. Any show that continues Discovery’s bullshit isn’t going to be worth a watch in my opinion.

Picard didn’t leave him to die, he expected the ringleader to let him go back for the dude but she didn’t. The point of the scene was to show that she was an asshole not that Picard was heartless.

As an aside, Scripps is barely better than Sinclair.
