Looks more like a Miranda Class ship.

The most incredible thing about this is that the video doesn’t seem to be geo-blocked.
Seems to be a problem with Android 14. It’s already been reported on GitHub.
A lot of great bits in this episode.
A Steamrunner class! I love the ships introduced in First Contact. And we even got to see its bridge.
The music! Straight out of Star Trek II.
And the visuals too! Especially the nebula fight, the the Genesis Device glare and the creation of the planet.
The Bomb Defusion Paywall was a nice touch too.
And Boimler did indeed make a great captain.
The ending was a bit rushed though. Neither Mariner nor Boimler had something to say to Tendi? That was a bit weird.
The shuttle bringing Freeman, Rutherford and Shax to the surface has a profile and colors resembling a Tatooine landspeeder, and the staff handling planetary landings were uniforms resembling Imperial ones and speak in pseudo-British accents.
Also, the background music when that shuttle landed sounded like it came straight from a Star Wars movie.
I wish there was a version of the calendar with only canon ship classes. Not a big fan of most non-canon designs.
Voyager is alright. It’s just very uneven. What drags it down is that the producers only very rarely took big swings that had a lasting impact on the characters or the show. Voyager excels at being episodic television. There are a bunch of stinkers (as there are on any TV show) but when it’s good, it’s really good. It has some of the best Trek episodes.
Maybe use an episode guide with ratings (for example Jammer’s Reviews, Ex Astris Scientia or IMDb) and skip the episodes with low ratings.
However what I don’t think is justified is the label as one of the worst Star Trek episodes. Is it nuts? Yes. Is it annoying that they have the technology to bring everyone back to Earth and simply de-lizard them after the trip, and then it’s never brought up again? Also yes.
But it’s nowhere near the worst episodes because it’s neither offending and un-Star Trek (like TNG’s Code of Honor) nor is it boring. It’s actually pretty entertaining for the first 35 or so minutes. It just goes off the rails at the end.
I think you’re not too far off.
Here is an excerpt from The Fifty Year Mission (book 2) by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross. I highly recommend those books. They are super insightful about the behind-the-scenes stuff from the first 50 years of Star Trek.
I mean, DS9 wasn’t as popular as TNG back then – both in terms of ratings and fan reception. Many considered it the black sheep of the Trek family. Berman focused on Voyager. So it was chrystal clear to every fan with even half a brain that DS9 would never get a movie. Perhaps Voyager had a tiny chance but by the time it concluded its run viewership had been in steady decline, and then Nemesis tanked.
Friendly reminder that the initial fan reaction before TNG aired was very negative.
And look how that eventually turned out.
Give the new show a chance before condemning it.
The reunification of Ireland and Northern Ireland will also take place next year.
I know it’s not really important but I prefer the design of the Podcasts app (Material You). YouTube Music is always completely black and clashes with the design of every other app made by Google. 🤷♂️
Tap “Explore” in the bottom toolbar, then the three dots next to “Subscribed”. Select “set as default”.
It’s already there. Tap on the profile icon in the top left corner, then tap “remove ads”.
I think this solely refers to the “containers on a blurred background” style. They both do look somewhat similar (but not really identical).
Yes, the new one looks nice and clean. I think a bit of padding really helps to make it look modern. (yeah, I know this will ruffle some feathers because some people apparently prefer 0px padding on everything)
One thing that always irked me a bit about the old “comment reply” window is that it has a fixed division of the comment you’re replying to, and your own reply. Maybe a toggle would be nice? (and it would also be nice if that top window would also show the text from self-posts when I’m writing a top-level comment; that way we would be able to copy/quote from the selftext. IIRC on reddit it only worked when I was replying to a comment)
Thanks for your work! Using Sync here feels like coming home.
Sweet. Thank you!.
Are there plans to give the “comment reply” window a similar visual overhaul to the “create post” window?
Good news, everyone!
So, they come to Samsung but not (officially) to older Pixels yet? Good job, Google.
