I’ll chime in here - I don’t know if this is OP’s issue, but I have experienced issues in the past with being able to clearly tell which languages in the list are selected, and/or the selected language settings saving properly.

I haven’t played around with it in months, but at the time I thought maybe it was just my browser theme/system colour settings that were making it hard to tell exactly what was selected.

I agree with those who are saying that a list of possible languages with accompanying check boxes would be more intuitive than the current implementation.

This season sounds very different from the others…

If you’re using an ad blocker, that’s probably why. StarTrek.com videos have the advantage of being region-free, but they don’t like ad blockers.

Personal attacks are out of line.

That’s unfortunate to hear - I don’t think there’s much we can do about the way we federate to other platforms…

You’re certainly right that there’s some wiggle room, though “Counterpoint” has the advantage of having shown the pattern degradation occurring.

Re: the transporters.

Patterns in the buffer usually degrade over time - The TNG Technical Manual says patterns can last about seven minutes before degradation begins. Obviously, Scotty was able to extend this dramatically, though with only a 50% success rate.

They did touch on this in SNW season one, when M’Benga said he had to rematerialize his daughter periodically. However, the timeframe, while not specified, seemed a helluva lot longer than seven minutes.

Elevating a notorious enemy general to the position of ambassador in a handful of years is a total Starfleet move.

We have a guide for just that!

Quote me, with a link, where I said something about the rules.

And I’m putting the mod hat on now, because being truthful is a rule here, so you’d better be 100% honest and accurate with what you provide.

Hmm yes a very apt comparison, and not at all a complete strawman.

I really hope they were able to come up with something satisfying with those reshoots. The series deserves a good sendoff.

This is a good time to remind the group that we have zero tolerance for bigotry.

Yes. Every time I see someone make this comparison, which is unsettlingly often, I think it’s absolutely insane.

Who said anything about rules? I’m just wondering if what you’re saying has any basis in, you know, reality.

I really think a lot of the support for the Klingon redesign and other revisionist aspects of Discovery/the current era of trek it spawned comes from a “but the Original Series is cringe fail and LAME.

Huge if true. Can you provide some examples of people saying that? I can’t seem to find any in this thread.

we’re the odd ones for saying “but wait how is this supposed to take place in the same timeline?”

I just think it points to a failure of imagination more than anything else.

If it’s for Star Trek day, it might be a single event, and not a wide release.

I thought those early Klingons were super weird and scary because they were just so alien.

Absolutely. And the costuming choices they made, and the different aesthetic approaches to each Great House, show an amazing amount of thought and care. They’re one big, scary, alien, fractured family.

Those “Dominion War” 2-parters are odd - the TNG books are an original story, but the DS9 ones are adaptations of “Call to Arms” and “Sacrifice of Angels”.
