Yeah but the season 3 finale took it to a new extreme

Discovery also seems to employ the dimensional technology that the pod from the future employed on Enterprise, being much bigger on the inside

I'd have thought it would have yellowed more than that, did you have to treat it to make it look so good?

Oh yeah, Shit the photo was cropped how I viewed, I was optimistic that the under bed area was a work area or desk or something

I enjoyed Coda, but if there was a time to take a hatchet to characters and storylines, that was the time. I understand why they did what they did.

that diagram is amazing, needs to be updated for Coda tho - which would put lines everywhere...

Both of us can do backflips to justify our positions. I also acknowledged that it's fiction and it can be whatever it wants to be. I dont claim to know everything.

It doesn't change the fact they brought on people specifically to do a better job of these things, so that backflips are less required 🤷‍♂️

I am going to shift the window on what I meant a little - star trek uses its technology as a plot contrivance all the fucking time, every series is guilty of it. Tech can be a hindrance to the protagonist or be stupidly overridden depending on what the plot needs. Most of the series are good at making the tech at least make sense in the world.

Take the breath sensor in s1e03 - as a security device its there to just be beaten, which is stupid - but also in star trek world with scanners and tricorders it makes no sense. The main computer could scan you at the door and know who you are without breathing on something. Its a fundamental misunderstanding of the world. To new fans its not a problem, but have you met a Star Trek fan before?

Once they brought people on that actually can beat the technology needs into shape for the world, this new era of trek has been fine IMHO. None of it is story breaking, and its frivolous because yes, this is fiction and the world can be whatever it wants for scifi reasons. This was the first example I found quickly scrolling transcripts. There's others like the SQL line in season 2.

I'll be sure to take notes next time I do a rewatch

At 720p you can, not 1080p or 2160p - Linux meets minimal widevine

What's taters, precious?

Wasn't this the plot of multiple Sylvester cartoons?
