That doesn't look very realistic. I bet they just punched Godzilla for the take and then reversed the footage.

I've used this for a while now, and it's an excellent app. It's genuinely refreshing to have apps that just do their job without fuss or feature creep.

Loved the Clint Howard cameo! Pretty amazing to still have actors all the way from TOS appearing!

I remember seeing a few in an auction a while back. Two things I recall:

1. Very few of them are full rectangular pieces; they have cutouts for filming which detract from them being pieces to hang (though that's a matter of preference)
2. Holy hell they were expensive

Seems a bit disingenuous to compare the niche of tech folks that used Google+ to the niche that use WeChat, with the later "niche" being... China...

Not everyone has to agree that dominating a country's social media usage is a good goal, but it clearly is the goal for many companies, and they're going to continue to persue it. Perhaps users of social media should redefine success, but for creators of social media platforms there are absolutely clearly defined measures of success and failure.

One of the things I really like about TNG is that the longer seasons allowed the writers to take more risks outside of the standard "planet of the week" episodes. Some of my favorite episodes are those that dive deep into some of the lesser seen characters and really flesh them out in a way we don't usually get to see in more modern television. It depends if you're more into this vs the more traditional plots, but if so I hope you'll really like the late season episode "Sub Rosa".

Was anyone saying it was dead? I guess it took a hit when What went down, but I don't think people are going to stop listening to music...

This is a good reminder I should get back on soulseek, though; I used to use it and it was pretty great.

I don't know if it's a canon connection to Star Trek in particular, but I loved the nod to the trope of using Toronto for NYC/Chicago/wherever.

Amazing as always!

As for regulations around personal logs, Star Trek has a long and confusing history with how it deals with privacy. I swear we've seen personal logs pulled up numerous times before (that one episode in TNG with Geordi and that woman's dog?), including "Crisis Point" as mentioned.

Given that, I'd take it that Starfleet's rules regarding personal logs are primarily focused on their admissibility in court, rather than general accessibility.

Honestly, the sets and costumes for SNW are setting the bar for TV shows in general, let alone star trek. Just as much as the new plots, I've been looking forward each week just to the visuals.

It probably doesn't show when viewing your own profile, but yours shows two links:

• Send Message which links to sending a private message through lemmy
• Send Secure Message which links to sending a message through matrix

there’s no way they would have had this to hand the whole time and never thought to use it during any one of the many life and death emergencies?

Ah, yes, the star trek classic!

I do agree, though. It was too long and too effective. A quick burst to make their way past the medical guards and into a turbolift would have been more believable and better paced.
