It totally was. It's no coincidence that it was Scotty who caught the entity and Scotty who is taken over by it years later in Wolf in the Fold.

My only complaint is that Ensign Gamble got this great episode, while Jenna Mitchell has yet to see an iota of character development and more than a few minutes of screen time away from the helm. Of course Gamble had to die for the privilege, so I guess that's fair. Still, I think the writers owe Rong Fum some love.

That's fair, because AI is biased against them.

We already have "clankers" thanks to Clone Wars. What more do we need?

If you're doing it right, cooking is art.

In this case there are no competing domestic products though, or few enough as makes little difference. This is just taxation with extra steps.

"There was a button. I pushed it." Where's Holden when you need him?

More importantly, this will be easily undone later, unlike much of the other damage he has done or plans to do. Compared to those things, I can't get too worked up over this.

The web isn't just HTML and server side scripting anymore. A modern website uses Javascript for many key essentials of the site's operation. I'm not saying that's always a good thing, but it is a true thing.

It is no longer a reasonable expectation that a website work with JavaScript disabled in the browser. Most of the web is now in content management systems that use JavaScript for browser support, accessibility, navigation, search, analytics and many aspects of page rendering and refreshing.

Asmondgold is so far past being relevant. He was intolerable when he was simply making World of Warcraft videos.

My head-canon is that there is no retconm, or at least no need for one.

We've seen in ST SNW that where the Gorn are concerned, the younger they are, the faster and dumber they are.

Pike and his crew have only directly encountered hatchlings, adolescents and a very few Gorn of age to serve on starships, perhaps the Gorn equivalent of redshirts.

The logical extension of that idea is that as Gorn mature, they become slower, burlier and more intelligent. The Gorn Kirk encountered in Arena may have a very mature individual, thus his slow, lumbering pace and extreme cunning. Probably overdue for a promotion to admiral.

You forgot Alka Seltzer's "Mama mia, that's a spicy meatball!"

I'd be much more likely to watch Muppet Dark City if Jennifer Connelly was the only human cast member.

I found a lot to like in The Acolyte. It wasn't top notch Star Wars content, but it deserved a better reception than it got.

This is a common misconception but they are not the same. Among other differences, their basic ingredients differ. Crumpets are made with milk and baking soda, while English muffins are made with dough and yeast or sourdough. 

In Star Wars, a Galactic Standard Year corresponded to the time it took Coruscant to orbit it's star once, 368 standard days.

There were 3 generations of starships named Enterprise between TOS and TNG. Surely that's the most relevant measure of a generation for Star Trek.

Yeah, I can't work up much existential dread at this prospect. Given the immensity of the universe, the odds of this happening anywhere that it will affect the human race anytime soon are pretty damn slim.
