The short answer is that no such test has ever been produced, and the boxing association that claimed they had done one never revealed the precise results, or even which lab had supposedly done the test, and has since been decertified for corruption.

I don't know what goes above S-Tier, but that's where Ensign Janeway of the Enterprise-D and Captain Nicole Janeway of the Voyager-that-never-was belong.

I have no idea if I'm going to like it - it's definitely not shaping up to be the story I had in my head - but I'm interested in seeing them do something different.

Hey, we have checks and balances in place.

The Senate is occupied by two railroads.

There's a crossover going on with the DW and Lower Decks mobile games, but that's it.

Really, it was just an excuse to have a panel with Kurtzman and RTD taking about the respective franchises, and do some cross-promotion. It was low-impact, but in a way that was kind of charming?

Many years ago, my partner at the time and I used the previous iteration of the water bus to spend a day out.

It started to rain, and the boats stopped running, stranding us at the last dock we'd disembarked at. There was no warning provided, nor was there an easy alternative available.

So...I guess I hope this new company can clear that extremely low bar.

I don't think I'd call it "great," but I don't think it's nearly as bad as many people think.

It suffers most from a visibly limited budget, and the fact that it occurs so early in the series that the actors hadn't really found their characters yet.

I'd love to visit the alternate universe in which it's a season four episode.

Oh good, it's not just me!

TNG's "Thine Own Self" comes to mind - I guess because it has some similarities to "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood".

Also...dare I suggest that "Move Along Home" has a certain Whovian energy to it?

I'd be pretty surprised if that scene doesn't play differently when in context - the hairstyle changes alone suggest that this is possibly (probably?) a dream sequence or something similar, reflecting Spock's own insecurities back at him.

And how funny is it that there's an episode of Star Trek named after a Batman movie?

First of all, I'm very sorry for your loss.

Secondly, you knew he was receiving care from trained experts. And you showed up to be with him, which is a hell of a lot more than some people would be able to do.

In my experience, when it comes to the death of a loved one, there will always - always - be regrets of this nature. You'll always be searching for the thing you could have done differently, or the thing you did "wrong." It takes a long time to get to, "I think I can live with it."

Or, to mix episodes, it is possible commit no mistakes and still lose.

That's a damn fine poster, and the artist is selling prints (to people in the US).
