There’s so much internal monologue in Dune, how else are you going to represent it? The Scifi Channel and Villeneuve both seem to just kind of like, leave it out.

The miniseries doesn't leave it out so much as work it into conversations that sound like they could have been part of the book, or have the characters wear their hearts on their sleeves more, which is why miniseries Paul seems like he's always on the verge of a meltdown.

That is definitely a TOS Romulan BoP.

Lucky could be Paris, but that would make Luanne B'Elanna and I don't think that part works.

I still think each Combs in the picture should be a different character. Unless each one is a different Weyoun, in which case they already are.

That's not new. Turbolifts on the Discovery were depicted that way pre-refit, back in the TOS-ish era. It's a (mind-boggling) stylistic choice or something.

I genuinely can't remember if this is a shot from LD. The episode where Boimler gets a girlfriend, maybe?

For their internal politics, yes the PD applies. For general interaction, no, the PD no longer applies. You can also land on a pre-warp world if they're already buying Romulan Ale from the Ferengi. It's not like you can make it any worse once the cat's out of the bag. Consider that Kirk was sent to negotiate with the Organians back when they were thought to be a pre-industrial species; that was fine since they had already been contacted by some other people, including the Klingons.

You can combine it with nearly anything and it will work. I love chocolate, but I'm unconvinced that it would work as the ice cream flavor in a float, for example. Vanilla? So long as the other flavor is sweet, it will work.

More or less. If you're paying attention to what's going on around you you'll notice other traffic stop before your light turns green. There's also typically a second or two where all lights are red before one turns green to make sure the intersection is clear.

I don't think the Romulans are really any better, they just solved the problem with external control rather than internal control, that external control being an inescapable police state.

T'Lyn is one of the most rational and logical Vulcans in the franchise and she was booted from the Vulcan fleet for not fitting into their strict dogma.
