@solidsanek@kaia As long as the "French" refuse to call chocolatines by their proper name, we will remain the real guardians of the authentic french language.
@lain@lucy Fun fact, my first introduction to Star Trek was Voyager, because the sci fi channel here played reruns of it every day in the hour between me coming back from high school and supper.
@ooignignoktoo@lain It's a silly Star Trek TOS parody and y2k era Quebec time capsule, that had way more love and care put into it that a throwaway joke concept like that should have had.
@lain@sun@toiletpaper I liked it until they had an entire season that was the most clichéd, predictable "corporation is bad" plot. Completely disconnected from it at that point. Such a shame because it felt so fresh until that.
@hfaust I didn't remember hating ENT's last episode, and I 'member hating Voyager's.
I think TOS did it best, don't make a big deal, just have a normal episode.
As for first episode, are you counting The Cage, The Man-Trap or Where No Man Has Gone Before as the first TOS episode? All decent, though The Cage is a bit goofy. Of all of the shows first episodes, I liked VOY's the least. It's just blah. ENT's is fun but not very Star Trek. TNG's is like two different TOS episodes forcibly merged. I think maybe Emissary is the best.
@lain To be honest, I'm kind of impressed. Not that I think it would be hard to get these people on a podcast, but that he's willing to have them and have (I assume, considering the format and how it went with Charlie Kirk) mostly pleasant discussions with them.
@whiteline Nuclear attack submarine does not mean nuclear armed, it means nuclear powered.
Attack submarines are what used to be called "hunter-killers", they don't typically have nuclear weapons (technically US attack subs could have carried nuclear armed tomahawks, but as far as we know that did not happen), their main purpose is hunting ships and other subs, and as a secondary job they can sometimes support other operations with cruise missiles.
Nuclear armed subs are Ballistic Missile Submarines (or 'boomers' as they are nicknamed).
