I really want the S5 set, and the S1 poster.

Not really sold on a full set at the moment.

I feel like Dennis the buffer buff from the Lower Decks S3 Premiere was intended to be O’Brien, (Transporter enthusiast, war veteran) but for whatever reason it didn’t pan out…

… which I honestly felt worked out for the best. Dennis was like my grandpa.

I would recommend looking into a USB Ethernet adapter.

Lethe. That's who I was thinking of. Like Cornwell was Lethe before she became Lethe.

Wasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?

I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.

Can’t read the article since it wants me to disable my adblocker, and that ain’t happening.

But, if the campaign is skewing African American women… then why does the billboard for this article depict a white woman?

You’re not wrong, but I honestly wonder what the baseline of that would be if America didn’t have this issue, and how much worse it is now because of us.

I empathize, but that’s like boycotting word or acrobat.

The narrative problem with the kids arriving in Federation territory in a stolen ship was that the Protostar would be impounded and the kids would be sent packing.

They needed a narrative reason to give the kids a chance to command the Protostar and have their own adventures, which means dragging out returning it to Starfleet. But rather than resorting to stalling tactics, they opted to have the kids fight to keep it out of their hands, and for good reason.

With Picard and Discovery, I felt more like that trope was used because the writers had no better ideas on how to keep the stakes high.

With Prodigy, I felt that the stakes were made essential to its premise.

The threat of mutual annihilation has discouraged us from nuking each other.

But I question the durability of that policy as the equator becomes less and less able to support life.

Hmm… Lower Decks tends to deal as reverently to Trek stars as it does one time TNG minor characters.

For a minor character cameo… I think I’d like to see one of the TNG S1 chief engineers. I bet they have a story to tell about working on the Enterprise then.

For a major character cameo… how about Chakotay? I’d like to see the Protostar prior to its launch and tie forward instead of backwards.

The article explains that they use the bacteria to basically break down the plastic into two solutions, which they ultimately recombine into plastic—seemingly out of lack of any other practical use for the results.

I’m not a scientist, I don’t know what could be a better use for the results of the bacteria doing their job. And seemingly, neither do the scientists, but it’s still a very young project in the grand scheme of things.
