Am working my way through Voyager @ the mo’, so will be interesting to see how that pans out (never saw it originally) & how she fits into the new Picard narrative.

Stumbled on this on Twatter- not sure if you’ve seen it or if it’s posted above. Regardless, enjoy. (Picard sounds like an old man - like my Dad in fact - though he’s not my Dad)

So I’ve finally finished watching Discovery S2. I’ve mixed feelings about it. I liked much about the characters. I even loved that one episode had a “previously on Star Trek” and then went on to show excerpts from the 60s show, which the episode directly tied into. The episode on Saru’s home planet was also very good.

That all said, the show is replete with big dumb plotting moments which I can’t really reconcile myself with. A good example was the required destruction of Discovery, which fails on the first attempt because of the AI protecting itself. Fair dos, so why not just try again by parking it next to a giant source of gravity, like a star? Why not try placing something independently explosive right next to the warp core? Why not just try giving it a bit more welly? The ship was almost destroyed in the last episode by the AI, after all. Even that didn’t make sense. The AI sends a shitload of drones at Discovery, the one ship that happens to have the thing it wants on-board.

Apparently, the show had three different show-runners during this season and it fucking shows. It is a beautiful looking mess. You’d hope they’d do something decent with the ending, but personally, I can’t see it. There is an excellent premise they could draw on just waiting in the wings.

I think they’ll end up drawing it in crayon.

In Voyager today, Captain Katherine Janeway was punched in the face and it did make me laugh. It’s part 1 of 2 but I have no idea when part 2 is on.

It was just unexpected. I thought I’d seen them all so to see an alien just turn around and full on punch her in the face caught me by surprise. Am I ashamed that I laughed? NO I’M FUCKING NOT

Dude, they had fluidic space in Voyager, a concept so strange that there are squiggly lines underneath the term fluidic.

If getting punched in the face was such a comedy highpoint, how comes Jimmy Carr isn’t being fucking battered on stage?

And how can we make life “funnier”?

Could we re-enact that scene?  
With most Politicians playing the part of Janeway?

If anyone is interested, part 2 was on today. The crew were stranded on some planet and had to make fire using sticks and Janeway’s hair as kindling.

Geek mode on.

**public** is a keyword in a lot of programming languages.

e.g.

```auto
public class Hair {
}

```

Which sometimes gets typed as 👎

```auto
pubic class Hair {
}

```

But my personal favourite is the common Perl 5.0 mistake when doing object oriented programming.

Conventionally, the first line of any class was:-

```perl
my $self = shift;

```

Occasionally, one would type:-

```perl
my $self = shit;

```

And it would be true.
