Have a listen. I used to get paid to sort this stuff out.

Having the tools/knowing how to work them is not the same as knowing when and what to do

No detection of a hint of sarcasm in my post then?

You're right though—once people knew how to do this stuff via BBC training.

Now anyone with Garageband is an audio engineer.

Apologies Stephen!

Apologies Stephen!

The (mis)information superhighway strikes again!

I know it's early in the new series, but it's bugging me that the Federation and Star Fleet are looking kind of fascist -- starting wars, doing questionable research, highjacking science programs for nefarious ends, etc.

Maybe the idea is for the Federation to spiral downward before it spirals back up, but so far I'm not seeing much exploring of strange new worlds, seeking out of new life and new civilizations, or boldly going where Nomad has gone before.

C'mon, somebody risk an emergency restart of the warp engines already!

The way Michel destroyed the Klingon ship was basically the tactics used by DAESH as commented on by Boris Johnson yesterday.

Not good.

I want whale mindmelds and hortas and flying barfs and disembodied brains in a salad bar thingy and Kanutu women.

I'm slightly disturbed that the Klingon spelling has changed a bit. In the same way Koran is now Q'oran. The old Klingons couldn't be mistaken for the Ruskies (although maybe the Romulans could), but is this loose alliance of warring clans coming together to battle the Federation some kind of ISIS metaphor?

Hmmm

Hmmm 2 : Electric Boogaloo

What a feeing when we are dancing on the ceiling

 

[Joe P]

JR,

Proper form would dictate that the second Hmmm be Hmmm 2: Electric Boogaloo.

[stephen bennett]

Goodness. Episode 3 has the most annoying character to ever appear in Trek.

Stephen

 

[stephen bennett]

Hmmm 2

Hmmm 3

Episode three was better-but it's still not Star Trek.

And the McGuffin is amongst the stupidest I've ever seen on a SF show (and I include Crusade in that).

It's midichlorians levels of absurdity.

I think it's Hummm strikes back.

Stephen

 

[Jonathan Ribee]

Surely in the Trek cannon Hmmm 2: would be the wrath of Hmmm, or

HMMMM 2 : THE WRATH OF ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

So Hummm 3 would be The Voyage hummm?

Stephen

 

[Joe P]

Stephen,

No, Hmmm 3 would be the Search for Hmmm.

Hmmm 4 would be the Voyage Hmmm.

We do not speak of Hmmm 5.

Undiscovered Hmmmtry and Generahmmmms come next.

Is this actually Star Trek? I'm really enjoying it, which doesn't make sense. Shouldn't there be an earnest six-episode story arc about a robot learning the meaning of "love", mind-numbing debates on rights to an asteroid on the border between the Ferengi and the Kardashians, that kind of thing?

 

[Jonathan Ribee]

I am missing the long drawn out discussions in the conference room.

Escapist sci-fi is important to give you relief from the hum-drum nature of work.

Anyway, I think I've figured out a Lean Six Sigma methodology for defeating The Borg.

Almost relieved Michelle Yeoh's character was killed off early. Shes a great actress, but it really showed that English is her second language.

is that really so important?

to me, she was easily, the most interesting and real person. the person they should have killed off is james frain, who i always find annoying. can;t understand how he ever made it in show business.

i keep forgetting to watch the next episode.

clearly, i no longer fit in to polite society. seriously.


vuk.
