Well David C. Fein argues it was bad because it was incomplete. The Director’s Cut is the completed version.

Dude, you should have stopped using Spotify when they let Joe Rogan on their platform… or when they started hosting fake music.

It doesn’t resemble the movie Alex Proyas directed. It’s all short stories. It ends with a man having a fight with God, which they just scream math equations into the sky.

Have you read the original Asimov move script? I believe it was written back in the 70s. A special edition of the movie came with a paperback edition of the book version that was illustrated by Harlan Ellison.

Never bothered to check till now. The stir sticks are only sold as packs of 3 ($5 USD) or 5 ($7 USD). I should replace mine.

I have a V60. Lately (last year or so) it has been what I use daily.

Never used mine for the bloom. I just use it as directed, to get even water distribution. I can’t think to brew a pour over anymore without the Melodrip.

However I did lose the stir. Oh well.

Does the Switch brew similarly to other immersion brewers like a French press or AeroPress? I would be tempted to just apply my normal V60 recipe on these.

If you ask, maybe some of them are willing to be your couch.

If you still consume any media, purchase merchandise, or god forbid go to the themed areas of Universal Studios parks… you are fulling this bigotry. She is profiting from your consumption of a franchise and using that fame to attack women.

I am heartbroken by what they have become. My childhood (and many other people’s) had that franchise throughout a big part of it. It has become shameful to say I was ever a fan. Nothing will redeem them. Nothing will make it okay to consume anything related to this franchise.

If you openly wear/carry/own merchandise of any kind today, you are literally sporting symbols of hatred. Please stop doing that.

 

The way The Doctor is able to change appearance so quickly, jump through glass panes and that hallway wall running, scream Matrix to me.

 

Biggest take away: Wang was cast in Picard season 3, promoted to admiral, and over time cut out before production.

 
 
 

Hi there. I just wanted to discuss something positive and uplifting. As we surely all know, Star Trek has a very big fandom that is super inclusive and positive (for the most part). Had a thought that for many fans, their passion is life-long. Maybe it would be nice to share a positive memory (maybe a few) you associate with Trek; whatever you are comfortable sharing. I kick it off (my list is chronological).

  1. Getting to go on The Klingon Encounter at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a family trip, I was seven (I recently found out I was off by year) in 1998. My grandfather was working at the time for a Chinese apparel brand. He took us to an industry convention he was attending for work. So my mom took me to the Hilton. There was walls of Borg statues, actors dressed as Klingons walking the casino. Only got to go on The Klingon Encounter, a Star Tours style ride. The premise is an entertainment experience with live actors which you are mysteriously transported to the future where you switch places with Picard. Klingons are behind it. They believe your group has an ancestor among you. You head to a transporter to escape to a shuttlecraft, and flee the Klingons. The chase eventually leads you over The Las Vegas Strip. The ride also included pre-recorded video from TNG cast as part of the story.

  2. Watching ENT when it first broadcast. I was ten years old. As an aside, I’ve always lived with my maternal grandparents. Anyways, my grandfather was excited for it. He let me stay up late on Wednesdays to watch with him. It was the first series (pretty much the only from start to end) I watched first broadcast. Watched every episode with him.

  3. Finally going to my first convention, STLV (formerly Star Trek Las Vegas) this year. Such an incredible four days that I can never forget. Getting to see the community up close changes how important this means. Everyone was such wonderful people. The one public event I’ve attended in my life where I felt truly accepted and safe.

 
 

Did writers forget about “Barge of the Dead” in season 7? During “Imperfection”, Seven ask B’Elanna if she believes in afterlife. Her response is ‘I hope so.

She literally went to hell and back. How does that not make her believe in it?
