scanning for life-signs

Yeah, and I’ve never figured out the security feature that makes scanning for life-signs more effective when you sign a little song to the computer. But sometimes I guess it’s just more urgent to know, little life signs, where are you?

Isn’t there a version of Superman where he lands in Siberia instead of Saskatchewan and ends up a good Soviet citizen?

I don’t know what the most similar novel to The Neverending Sacrifice might be, but I think the exact opposite is probably the 1970s novels satirizing the British Raj called The Flashman Papers. They are incredibly funny, highly offensive, beautiful assaults on the landed gentry, set during one of the most incompetent, badly failed military expeditions to Afghanistan in the history of badly failed military expeditions to Afghanistan–the British one.

No, not the American one with British help–the actual British one, from way back in the seventeenth century.

If the Leif Ericson class didn’t exist, how could it be in the handbook??!

Err, wrong IP there, @beefcat. “The Historical Documents” isn’t from Star Trek, it’s from BSG.

(I also have a soft spot for parts of Picard season 1)

I actually like that this is a favorite episode thread, because season one of Picard has “Nepenthe,” which I come back to again and again. I love how Troi is the central character of that episode and the primary mover of the whole plot. It’s the crowning moment for any non-titular TNG character in all of Picard, and superior to anything in S3!

I spent over a decade addicted to meth, and in my experience, that green slime ain’t meth.
