Considering the tiny holopods used in “ I, Excretus” could be monitored, why didn’t people try to view holodeck monitors during other situations where they know something has gone wrong? Wouldn’t that be helpful?

The only story we have set in the 20th or 21th century are “~~Return to Tomorrow~~ Tomorrow is Yesterday”, “Future’s End”, “Future’s End, Part II”, “Carpenter Street”, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, PIC season 2, and First Contact. If there are more, they escape me. These stories are all set on Earth. My best assumption would be that after the 21st century is when automobiles got phased out of society. There isn’t really a good reason to show roads when cars aren’t a necessity for travel.

However for whatever reason, as Mariner points out, we still have bridges.

I think PRO is a step in the right direction.

He would be a better judge of that observation. However I was at STLV last year and there was a sizable number of younger fans (especially those who are teenage). Maybe not a lot.

What is the age range they are classifying as young? Are they talking like teenagers or mid-20s to 30s? The thing with Star Trek that I think attributes to the non-fans not watching would be the stylization. Going back to the comparison of MCU, HP, and Star Wars: they all have something unique (be it the directing, photography, acting, writing, music, special effects, etc.) that if you pay attention for a significant period will find. Star Trek is no different. When you watch a MCU movie or TV show you probably see the sleek costumes and fast paced fight choreography. With HP, it was probably all the special effects, makeup and set design. For Star Wars it might be the writing, special effects and music.

I’m being non-specific here of course. Star Trek like I said is no different. There are visual and non-visual language being utilized that we find enjoyment in. For anyone not currently into these properties, it could be difficult to enjoy. Especially if you haven’t been someone who watched these properties from a young age or from the early years. For example, if you had someone exposed to only the Kelvin Timeline try to watch TOS or TNG with no context for how it relates, a disconnect might form. Visually those series are not as sleek or modernized as those movies.

As for the comparison to video games… that is simply a different medium. What appeals to one person to the next will be hard to gage. That doesn’t preclude the likes of Fortnite players from enjoying Trek, but culturally that kind of entertainment is very different from what a kid who grow up with TNG was exposed to.

Famously Kim was supposed to return in PIC. He would have been promoted. However before the production began there had been script re-writes that removed them.

Since when did Deep Space Nine have weapons?

At least he didn’t go to the food replicator.

Can someone explain this? I haven’t played Portal.

Hell even The Rolling Stones have performed… and they aren’t even American.

🤦‍♂️

53% of the NFL identity as Black or African American. It is reasonably well known that the fan base is more affluent than other American sports. This is echos slavery. They complain only because the person they are paying to see perform isn’t performing the way they want.

No one said they had to watch the halftime show let alone the game itself.

He did get around. He would totally get with anyone that said yes. But at the same time he wouldn’t try to get between a widow and his captain.

EDIT: He literally sleep with people while on away missions. “First Contact” he got coerced by the doctor into sex to stay safe.

 
 

Is there a reason The Alamo was a heavily discussed historical event during Deep Space Nine’s seventh season? Was there an anniversary of the event? Did it come into popular consciousness in the 90s? Was someone on the writing staff related to Davy Crockett?

 

I am aware that ENT retcons the change in Klingon physiology as augments Klingons. Is there an accepted theory as to why legacy characters who return after TOS, are shown to have changes? Do people simply retroactively apply the events of “The Augments”?

 

 

So I recently embraced and continued my love of Star Trek within the last two years. I think back to First Contact Day and how many Trekkies like myself ate a yeah you kind of forget that what they’re doing kind of forget that they’re not on a starship where they can do this as much as they want a meal of pierogies, salmon, and tequila while watching the movie First Contact.

Are there any similar ways people celebrate Star Trek Day?
