What I find particularly egregious in their decision making is that after Gamble lost his eyes, Beto is still hanging around. Like, helloooo? Film making student that has 0 training in anything remotely related to this, get back onto that ship IMMEDIATELY.

What do surgical nurses do in the OR?

The real Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) appeared in TNG: “Time’s Arrow”.

I'm pretty sure an actor appeared in Time's Arrow

Well I'll be damned, the first part is real, at least: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Headgear

It probably boils down to Boimler being a sad sack who still isn't confident enough to stand up for himself.

Hmmm, I wasn't quite sure about the Futurama reference at first because Bone Vampires/Moopsies aren't exactly unique types of legendary creatures, but then Ransom said "Turns out humans are the most dangerous" which is a straight up lift from the Scary Door.

Genuinely curious here... what about the concerns of nuclear waste? My understanding of it is based on the Simpsons so ELI5 how modern tech resolves the waste issues?

It's an infographic for children...? I think it's meant to be simple.

I'm sure 18+ people should already have a more nuanced view of what those words mean. And if they don't I'm sure there are other materials they can peruse to help them understand.

I love that the theme of this episode was centered around relationships and what "being connected" means. Uhura's penultimate number was very powerful and tied the subject of the previous songs all together. I've been streaming the album pretty much nonstop on Spotify since Thursday!

She'll always be Stacey Carosi to me.

 

SNW S2 EP3 piqued my curiosity in who this character was based off of and so I did a very basic search. I already knew Roddenberry named Khan and Dr. Noonian Soong that way to try to get the attention of his friend, but seems like the friend never noticed and reached out.

My current search yielded a VERY comprehensive post on R3dd!t from 2020 where the OOP and commenters came up with some possible iterations:

-Kim Noonien Singh

-Kim Noonien Wang

-Kim Ngyuen Singh

-Kim Noonan Singh

Unfortunately, the trail seems to have run cold as the OOP has not updated on any new leads and the last comment in that thread is a year ago.

Do you think we are ever going to be able to find out who the real life "Khan Noonien Singh" is/was?
