It reminded me, very randomly, of quote from a book about urban design and how architectural ideas are introduced and accepted by the public… or not.

From this the "principle of the second man" can be formulated: it is the second man who determines whether the creation of the first man will be carried forward or destroyed...

It was a golden chance and a room full of cowards let it slip.


The book is Design of Cities by Edmund Bacon for anyone interested.

Damn I just randomly selected a Voyager ep last night and it was the one where he was a Hirogen hunting a stranded Species 8472. Then I see this today. 😢

Even in full makeup and under a mask it was unmistakenly him, the man was a goddamn imposing presence. You will be missed, sir! 🫡

I’m fairly tech savvy, still on my Xr and feel no reason to change. Battery will probably be the deciding factor before anything else.

Kinda interesting to see a VFX youtube channel get this real about the industry (no doubt on the back of "No CGI is really just invisible CGI", see [post here on that series](https://lemmy.ml/post/13485455)).

I don’t know about that, Corridor Crew has been keeping it real on the realities of the VFX business for years now.

Did they though?

Nooooo, was just watching Future Imperfect with a friend the other day and when she showed up I was like, "Yaaaay, Nurse Ogawa!" and then found out while cehcking Memory Alpha afterwards that that ep was actually her first appearance. For a character with so little screentime, I always really liked her and wish we'd seen more of her. RIP Patti, we'll raise a glass in Ten Forward to ye!

Listening now with morning coffee, quite a pleasant start to the morning I don’t mind saying.

New season of Connections With James Burke is off to a rollicking start.

I just popped into the comments to make sure this had been posted. Good work, carry on.

I really liked what Voyager had with the basic episodic format but with a slow accumulated progress over time. It’s a happy medium between totally disconnected eps and hyper-serialized continuous stories.
