Outside of the Founders and Q, most races with extreme abilities are seen maybe once or twice. The Tholians are interesting. They only thrive in extreme heat and their technology is rather unique.

Funny thing is, I still have an AOL address. I keep it around for a few old accounts that won't let me change the registered email address and for sites that want an e-mail address that I'm sure only want it to sell to spam farms.

I'd argue that the final season of Enterprise had a spark of what could have been, but it was too late by that point and then they decided to ruin the whole thing in the series finale. It did flesh out the Andorians and gave us Commander Shran, so I can't dismiss it completely.

I think a lot of my dislike for section 31 probably does stem from the stuff done in 'Into Darkness' and later, but even in DS9 it felt a little 'off', just not to the 'we're building giant battleships in secret' level off.(What is it with Abrams and secret large-scale construction projects anyway?)

Well, it probably helps that Tesla wasn't founded by Musk and they probably have a 'Musk Mitigation Team' to trick Musk into not going too crazy with his demands, like SpaceX reportedly does.. Twitter didn't have the luxury of doing that, unfortunately.

Section 31 was probably the worst thing DS9 introduced to the Star Trek universe, really. We already had Starfleet Intelligence, did we really need some shadow quasi-legal organization that both is and isn't part of the Federation government? It's like they just wanted a Federation equivalent...

Eh, she gets paid either way. Generally you don't get hired as a CEO of a large company without being morally dubious, unless nepotism is involved. Shareholders don't want an honest and just person in charge, after all.

At least 'The Shack' had some connection to the original name... X is just out of left field and has no connection at all to the product. Even ol' Zuck had the sense to only rename the parent company Meta and not the product itself.

So he's throwing away over a decade of brand recognition because he has some fetish about the letter x Seriously .. X.com(the one that merged with the company that created PayPal, not the NEW one), SpaceX and now renaming Twitter to X, not to mention the name of his kids X and Exa.

Spam away, as long as you're paying Musk. While this will reduce spam by maybe .01%, it will increase Twitter's revenue in the short term when said spam accounts actually start paying for twitter blue. Grifters will pay as long as there are enough potential victims to make it worthwhile(which...

The worst part is that the Latin equivalents of the letters they changed look pretty much the same in Hellenistic Greek as they do in Modern Latin. I guess going full Hellenistic and using Κλεοπάτρα would have just been too confusing to modern audiences.

There's also the fact that the Jewish religion doesn't really have a 'devil', at least not in the Christian sense. It was a somewhat snarky twist on the common phrase.

With any luck the court will reject said map and appoint a commission to draw a new one, as per the original ruling.

Young zombies have to learn somehow.

It's not like they could enforce said rule. I doubt they make their employees sign a binding contract complete with financial penalties for not discussing quitting with management first.

He's a wannabe fascist dictator, isn't that what they all try and do to secure power? The scary part is his followers would cheer such a move on despite the fact that once he pulls something like that off, they won't be any safer from his wrath than anyone else.

Which reminds me 'All Hail Clone Biden, may your genetic code endure for millennia.'

Heck, between V'Ger, Nomad, the Doomsday Machine, and the Whale Probe, I'm sure Star Fleet has a healthy skepticism towards AI drone ships even BEFORE taking in any of the stuff the recent shows have introduced.

Not so sure of that, at least on Federation ships. Kirk was able to take a heavily damaged constitution refit out of space dock and all the way to the former location of the Mutara Nebula with just an engineer, helmsman, navigator and a somewhat incapacitated MD. Federation starships have good...

So that's what The General was doing before he got a few promotions and started shilling car insurance.
