Replace the skin frame with data's grafted skin scene in FC where the queen blows on it...

"Mmmm, so furry! It tickles!"
Yeah, it was largely Patrick looked better in red. Likewise under the new system Data was supposed to be in red, but it clashed with his makeup so they put him in gold.
It's acknowledged in universe but they've never said why. Just "back then it was the other way around".
No doubt fans back then were angry at the unexplained canon change.
Amazing TWOK references as always. And again they do stakes without leaning too much into combat. But it did feel like it would benefit from more time, some bits felt rushed. I'd also have liked to see the reclaimed BoP help in some way. It didn't feel right that he wasn't in the picture to get back at Locarno. The paywall was amazing.
Yeah, that's understandable because I have to explain it every single time (already explained it to my mother about 4 times now). Whereas believing in aliens is actually quite reasonable (just not that they are here and spend their time making crop circles and probing trailer trash).
Yes, Rutherford's old implant that was scavenged at the end of the last season, which explains why Badgy is with them because he was in the implant. No Borg I'm afraid and I think they're meant to be keeping Borg to a minimum or specific circumstances as they're decimated and in hibernation between Endgame and Picard.
Assimilated Klingons? You mean the Drookmani where one of them has Rutherford's old salvaged implant (from the tease at the end of last season)? I'm assuming after finding and using the implant, Badgey convinces them to jailbreak other AI from daystrom.
I agree. They should have led with this. Or maybe only did this.
Though I do feel like this and last week's were missing a punchline at the end.
This one wasn't a dumpster fire like the last few, but I still feel it was a set up without a punchline. Something felt missing at the end for the payoff.
It's a shame he didn't ask Sunak if he was onboard first. Or maybe he means a France-Poundbury partnership?
It very much feels like someone on the outside looking in and making jokes with their passing knowledge. In contrast to Lower Decks very much being injokes from people who love the series, it's philosophy and all its tiny details. They should have just given it to writers on Lower Decks. This makes me cringe so much.
They've never been consistent in how stardates work and only really just try to make sure they run in a chronological (if inconsistent) order. I'd wave off exact translations of stardates for this reason.
But also allow for human error. I know an event which miscalculated how long they've been running based on failing to understand how anniversaries work, and thus have put out a whole lot of material stating they started running a year earlier than they actually did. They could have checked the archives, but didn't.
Given how Trek is about the human condition, I think character's messing up basic facts is as good a canon fix as "The Doctor lies" is for Dr Who.
