Same here. Had to purge everything, as all I would get was site errors.

The writing surely goes for high amp drama

Tech Billionaires Need to Stop Trying to Make the Science Fiction They Grew Up on Real

I used to work for Paul Allen, managed his social media messaging systems and was an internal consultant (integrating systems when Seahawks were purchased, etc) in the late 1990's...

Paul Allen was inspired by science fiction of Carl Sagan's "Contact", and build the Allen SETI array. It isn't all bad.

I mean Futurama told us they go well into the future.

I was surprised to see it pop up! All of Season 3 is still on YouTube for free too...?

So I see that YouTube is offering a free trial (USA) of Showtime + Paramount Plus... for 7 days. Does that mean I get to use YouTube's streaming/app?

I can see how it can be appealing. Makes for good storytelling at the very least.

That's what I really like. It's fiction and people can get their good storytelling. I wish they would stop electing leaders who behave against the future of humanity.

... I'm probably not the first to point out that Star Trek they do a lot of walking, they don't go transporting everywhere. Why wouldn't the Golden Gate be a pedestrian crossing... just for the view. I don't get why you would write it that way, it isn't really humor, it's just lazy.

EDIT: ok, the Ketracel-white hot sauce was the quality of joke I was expecting ;) The NOLA culture stuff is great.

I thought Stewart wrote the song, but the on-show singer was someone else.

people did react that way, but I liked the song well enough, and grew to like it more.

that’s probably a characteristic of all ascended species.

I mean it has to be. Once you have factual evidence of a super-powerful species with great technology, doesn't that have to cross your mind as to the order of things around you? I have to hope some group in the Federation has to have theories about what the Q could be doing to account for behaviors in the universe. Who knows what the Q does that has an unknown side-effect to humanity. Clearly the Bajorans considered the side-effects of their eternal beings next door, at least mystically.

M’Benga describes the Kherkovians as inscrutable, interdimensional beings that don’t experience space and time the way we do. They sound more and more like they could be related to the Prophets.

They sure had a concept of time on shutting out feedback about mistakes in their remedy.

who notes that the complaint is lodged out of the response period.
