I think Sisko specifically requested the Defiant. It’s what he was working on while stationed at Utopia Planitia between Wolf 359 and DS9. No wonder he was still hung up on the death of his wife when he met the Prophets, he had spent the last three years working on a ship to avenge her.

You bloody well asked for buffer time, Mariner!

Looks kind of like Mickey Mouse from Fantasia, a red robe and a blue wizard hat with white stars.

Oh, right, because Prodigy did 20 half hour episodes per season instead of Picard’s 10 hour long episodes per season, Mulgrew was able to get ahead of Stewart.

I believe because Worf was a regular character for all of TNG and over half of DS9, not to mention Picard season 3, Michael Dorn has the most episode appearances of any Star Trek actor.

The character concept is really interesting, something you can only do in sci-fi. The closest equivalent I can think of is a newly regenerated Doctor. If we were going to get Ezri, I wish we got more than one season of her, to explore the character a bit more, but, yeah, the behind-the-scenes events that lead to the character being created are awful, and I wish they could have been avoided entirely.

Most astronauts only go about 250 miles up, the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That said, Neil Armstrong got a lot further away from Ohio.

Is this in Lebanon? Looks like the pedestrian bridge north of exit 18.

I’d ask if this is the Amtrak bridge, but Cleveland only gets Amtrak service at o’ dark thirty.

Even if you somehow need a vehicle this size, you can park it in a way that it only takes up two spaces, not four.

Yeah. Line 3 used different rolling stock than the other three lines, unusual linear induction motor powered equipment, which was reaching the end of its service life. The plan was to shut it down in November 2023 and temporarily replace it with bus service while they built a Line 2 extension to serve the neighborhoods Line 3 used to. Unfortunately, a train derailed in July 2023, which resulted in the system shutting down four months sooner than expected.

The Line 2 extension is going to take a different route to eventually arrive at Line 3’s old terminus. I think there’s plans to covert the old line 3 viaduct into a Bus Rapid Transit guideway.
