I worked with someone named Ted and jokingly asked if he was related. The guy straight up said he was. Um… I don’t believe you but why would you want to claim that?

They may have been racist too because I remember them complaining about the movie Black Panther and the comments edging very close to being about how the main cast was black.

You’ve gotten two new security directives rolled into one statement: atheism (presumably just any belief that is anti-Christian; I have a feeling non-Christian beliefs won’t be counted) and anti-Capitalism (now considered a predictor for political violence).

That makes you a terrorist now.

EDIT: I think it does.

If they turn out to be dead, that would be a shame. Can’t have the award. Secondly, that would make the committee look bad.

EDIT: Just to be clear in case you are unaware, only people who are alive can qualify for an award.

Hopefully this signals a return of some kind for PRO. Having anyone from the cast at an official event is a big deal. I know people who worked on the series have moved but maybe in the future.

I just choked on water reading this.

Did the Augments build it?

I use the podcatcher Overcast. It has a feature called Smart Speed which dynamically shortens silence. On top of that I increase the speed. So whenever I don’t have Smart Speed on, people’s natural voice sound artificially slow to me.

I am definitely going to try this recipe. The concentrate that a Toddy recipe makes does not sit well with my stomach (yes this is after the 1:1 dilution). I guess I’d have to ditch the Toddy unless I try to brew within the constraints of it’s size.

Violence… against the left.

Wrong answers only.

EDIT: This moment is from “Message in a Bottle”. They have just accessed the Hirogen network, Janeway is trying to negotiate for use of the network. When that doesn’t work, Seven sends a shock through the network to incapacitate them.

So for those unaware, René Auberjonois filmed scenes as a Starfleet officer named West (who had an odd rank of Colonel). At the end of the movie it is revealed that West, disguised as a Klingon, had attempted to assassinate the Federation president. If you have no memory of this, then no worry. You’ve only seen the theatrical version. All the scenes which René appears were not included.

According to Memory Alpha, prior to 2009, the home media releases included the West scenes but did not list Colonel West or René Auberjonois in the credits. 2009 is when the first DVD release came out, being the theatrical cut. The page for West indicates the 4K remaster, released in 2022, includes West scenes but omitting the reveal of the assassin’s identity.

With multiple edits of The Undiscovered Country existing, what is considered the canonical version?

 

Wish I was wrong.
