Yeah, I had missed that. "Resources of Enterprise critical." La'an couldn't have known that would be as difficult as it was, because she would have assumed it'd just be Pike convincing Starfleet command that this was a mission needing Enterprise's attention and that if Pike was coming, it'd be...

Yeah, I think you two are right about the go juice. I watched it again and the slow-motion bits definitely seemed to be implying something like that. And I guess it makes as much sense as not that Dr. Mbenga invented it, and it's far from the only thing that shows up in a Star Trek episode and...

I'm not too interested in what the showrunners say on Twitter after the fact and after fans have speculated a bunch of possibilities for them. I mean, that'll be canon going forward, but it doesn't clear up what they intended in the episode as aired. Like Cybersnark's saying, I'm suspicious...

It fills me with indescribable rage that at 0:53, a Defiant class ship shows up and fires its forward phasers, but they come out as continuous beams instead of a string of pulsed blasts. But for Enterprise E, I'm content to accept that Worf lost it in a Noodle Incident. Edit: Oh, right, and...

Picard pretty much gave us a five minute pitch trailer at the end there. Set a course to the Matalas system and all that. The show would be on the 'Enterprise G' with Jack, Seven, Raffi, and Sidney La Forge, none of whom originated in TNG, with special guest star John de Lancie.

Shatner benefited sufficiently from his own popularity to try to force Roddenberry to choose between him and Nimoy and consistently angled to steal Nimoy's better lines. Like a reverse Burnham, angling to force Kirk into everything as opposed to having the showrunners force it on the rest of us...

And every ship later than the Constitution II has auxiliary rooms around the bridge in the bridge bulge that could be cut into. And the B set bridge is usually smaller than the A set bridge, not larger. Unrelated, but on the subject of sensible starship design, I'm realizing I like this cutaway...

The 25th Century skins are pretty, and much better than the originals they're based on, but I hate to say it, that Georgiou class is even hotter On further consideration, I've realized that the bridge-at-the-top idea is actually not as nuts as it sounds in-canon if you ignore how the shows...

And by giving distances in dialogue in thousands of kilometers when we can see on screen that they're no more than ten kilometers away at any time. Even if this was canon, it was a rationalization for another oddity of what we see on screen, namely that bridges among identical classes of ships...

Maybe, yeah. I don't like the trapezoids going down the spine of the torpedo pod, and I think too many things were inherited too directly from the Miranda class. The giant Starfleet-branded AAs aren't identical and the lines are a little less obtrusive on the Reliant class, but don't think...

Oh that is wonderful. = D Sharpest livery since the TOS movies! I know the black is explained as areas of extra ablative armor, but the contrast really makes everything pop. 😁I love how the Sutherland takes even a monster like the Nebula class and reworks it into something classy.

I'm sure you'll find something you're more interested in complaining about then. Anyway, yeah, it looks like they felt the line to be preserved in translating to real people was the way the commbadge sits on the white bar, and real human bodies have a natural place where a badge sits that isn't...

Spock and Chapel's kiss followed by an effusive nerd happy dance is massive spoilers but also I get it guy, I get it

I don't know Jein, but that seems like a neat tribute. Ship itself is pretty cool too, a lot of the Sovereign but with notes of the Excelsior and NX rubbed in, which makes me think Eaves really dipped into his own favorite lines. The streeeeetched out bridge bump makes it look like it's under...

I anticipate I won't be too concerned about the details of the mechanism XD

Yeah, if they have to have Kirk continue to be around, which I still think is a terrible idea - frankly, I would have preferred not to be re-upped on Pike's future history destiny thing again so soon, so I could have done without Kirk at all - it'd be nice if it was someone who at least had the...

Beyond was the only good movie in there and ended in the most satisfying version of "and they would go on to have many adventures, but our story ends here" possible. I don't think this crew needs any kind of further closure now, and the odds are pretty good another movie would leave them in a...

I'm not sure how much of the blame I put on Section 31 as opposed to Starfleet as a whole. They're just as easily puppeted by a few changelings or Zhat Vash. It's an organization of Shaws just following orders. Time to dust off the old flag IMO
