You know, they really should have gone back to the conspiracy episode bugs!

But… I guess the Borg were the Big Bads of TNG, and PIC s3 was very TNG-focused, so I guess it makes sense.

I think it wouldn’t have induced as many eye-rolls if Voyager hadn’t severely watered the Borg down in the intervening years since TNG and First Contact.

Which is why I’m a backend developer/infrastructure engineer for a nonprofit organization in the area of social services.

The pay is not as good but I can look my children in the eye and tell them that I am proud of the work I do.

And he’s a lot less likely to be a regular smoker. That will age you.

I love DS9. I love the characters, the stories, and the station itself.

But for me, the Defiant was just… OK

Oh, I agree. I just think having more age appropriate choices for other characters would have been nice too.

Spock and Uhura seem to be roughly the right ages for the time the show is set. But Kirk is too old (the actor hides it well, lucky bastard) and Scotty far too young.

And McCoy makes no sense if cast too young given the nature of his personality, relationship to Kirk, etc. So, like you, I would prefer to go older as opposed to too young, like they did with Scotty.

I think it’s the inconsistency that bugs me.

Scotty should be too though.

In TOS, he’s clearly 10 years older than Kirk. In SNW it looks like it’s the opposite!

And, to the extent that age of the actor implies the age of the character, Kelly and Doohan were about the same age.

Thanks! I write a lot of .NET for work and have been sticking with VSCode for the official extensions. Good to know there are some alternatives because I would much rather use Codium.

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Which VSCodium extensions are you using for .NET?

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

That’s awesome! I’m halfway through the engineering hull on mine.

I’m just trying to decide if it’s a sitcom or not…

You know, the kind where you have a “straight man” who is driven nuts by his zany friends/family/coworkers for the enjoyment of the audience?

You are clearly a wise and intelligent person.

Hail to the Chief (O’Brien)!
