In the end, they both end up learning effectively the same lesson

I’m a lot more worried about a DC/Star Trek crossover than I was about a Marvel/Star Wars crossover. The DC people are stupid enough to try it.

I’m watching on my phone, and couldn’t unmute it. I tapped the mute icon and nothing changed, so I assumed that was telling me it had no audio

They did this weird thing where they interspersed an episode of that with an episode of Jack of All Trades, IIRC.

Nah, the Prime Directive is all about staying out of other people’s business.

There’s no way DS9’s bathrooms are that clean.

This is the internet. Everything we dislike is the same. Landlords are cops, Nazis, Russians, Israelis, authoritarians, libertarians, racists, homophobes, and transphobes; all at the same time.

My desk has a desktop with two monitors, a laptop, an iPad, and a phone. I use each of them for different reasons throughout a day.

TBH the only reason I have so few devices laying around is because they’re expensive. If I lived in a post-scarcity society, I’d have a lot more tablets on my desk.

I use a “real name” domain. My last name ends in the letters “in”, so I bought a .in domain, such that the domain name is my last name with a dot in it.

Can’t honestly recommend that approach. It’s a cute gimmick, but when non-technical people ask for your email address and it doesn’t end in a TLD they recognize, their heads explode. I usually give out my gmail address.

I don’t know the context here, but my college roommate used to listen to Car Talk and I hated it. He hated when I watched Star Trek though, so we both just sucked it up and dealt with it like adults.

I was so hopeful when that was going on, that they were building up to a larger reveal. Like this was before they did any Mirror Universe episodes, so I was really hoping they’d do a thing where Crewman Daniels reveals that Archer’s moral compromises were leading up to that timeline, and they work together to set things right. Would have been the perfect commentary on where US foreign policy was going at the time.

But instead they did space Nazis and revealed that humans in the mirror universe were always evil for no real reason.

Hmmm, ok I misread it. I was thinking the duplicate had already been printed before the conversation started, and they were waiting to destroy the original. But he does say the duplicate has been printed “complete with memory of this conversation”.

I guess if he remembers the conversation he knows it’s not true. If he doesn’t remember the conversation, you get more amusement next time you tell him.

…why would you even go into a thread about Tuvix if you feel that way? “This Slayer concert is just too dang loud!”

Terrible idea. Any time a transporter duplicates somebody, one of them turns evil. (See the DS9 episode where Tom Riker pretends to be Will Riker and hijacks the Defiant, or the reason Harry Kim, who was replaced by his own duplicate early on in the series, never got a promotion).

So now you have to decide to kill Good Tuvix, or kill the other one, which will just give you Evil Tuvok and Evil Neelix.

Poor statement of her mission. IIRC Janeway says pretty clearly in one of the first episodes that they’re still going to carry out their duty as a Starfleet ship to seek out new life and new civilizations, boldly go, etc. That’s their mission, and getting home is an important part but not all of it.

I always wondered if those rocks they’re sitting on (and the one he was skipping, I guess) were changelings who lost a bet.

I really wish they had used the same actor with or without a mustache in the new show.
