I’m not sure if someone was trying to figure out ways to increase their profitability to avoid getting bought out, or if they were trying to increase their value to make buying them out a more attractive deal, or what… but there was definitely a whole lot of “wtf are they thinking?” moves at Paramount, just as there were at HBO a year or so ago.

They were definitely flinging options at walls to try to get some kind of effect. But they were doing it with no apparent rhyme nor reason, at least to us out here.

I suspect we’ll see another round of readjustments if/when Skydance gets their merger handled. I suspect there’s people over there just chomping at the bit to get their hands deep in some Trek productions.

Quake, here, I think

I couldn’t locate this specific one on Amazon or Paramount, but fortunately i had a local copy :D

They were too far out for their tractor beam, because they missed due to the jump inaccuracy. The Breen dropped out of warp much closer to it, and were able to snag it with theirs.

Hey, birthday twin!!!

I’d guess Zora didn’t want to run the DOTs to clean things up anymore

that… looks like it was a 480p source, playing on a 720 display.

Yeah, it might be just slightly higher quality than the broadcasts originally were, but not much.

On rewatch, I wonder if he was on the way to suggesting someone like Book when he was interrupted

Agree with this, it seemed like he was using Book for context, not for a real suggestion. Saru respects what Booker has done for everyone, but I don’t think he’s a real big fan of the guy, and certainly doesn’t think he should be the XO of a Federation ship.

I could be wrong, though

I’m told that’s Bigfoot with a hat on.

Darmok, his spear thrown too early.

wouldn’t the Romulans entering the neutral zone also be an act of war, though? that’s kinda the point of a neutral zone – neither side can enter.

It’s a California class. Low budget. :D

I don’t think most instances have enough users to get 20 upvotes on their posts. That’s not a very good indicator.

it might be the first time he’s done it, but if you do that sort of thing, that kind of is your character, isn’t it?

Maybe not. That could be a trap question, too. Guy says “Oh yeah, just an argument”, and then there’s the question of why there’s two people left bleeding and a shattered plate glass door hanging along with “just an argument”.

“My behavior, while not criminal, was inappropriate and out of character.”

Why does he think that slapping his wife across the face, throwing her phone in a pool, and then ramming his brother through a plate glass door is not criminal?
