Star Trek Enterprise "Affliction"

[deadheaddaisy]

THINGS. I shall list them for better reading purposes:

THE UNIFORMS ALL THOSE POCKETS

Hoshi becoming more confident

Malcolm becoming more open and mischievous

the bridge crew plus Phlox

The NX-01

Malcolm teasing Hoshi about frostbite in a deleted scene

pineapple (you *know* Malcolm eats pineapple on pizza, don't try and convince me of anything different)

Malcolm eating ALL THE THINGS

Silent Enemy and the engineering/armoury teams installing phase cannons to show up Jupiter Station

Sleeping Dogs and Malcolm's heart eyes when Hoshi wants to blow up all the torpedoes at once

Marauders (Sniper Reed & Badass Hoshi) with Hoshi making Malcolm proud when she shows off her phase rifle skills

Vox Sola and the banter between Rostov and Kelly (my rarepair)

Malcolm & Hayes brawl

Dead Stop, The Breach, Similitude, E2, The Catwalk, Doctor's Orders, Proving Ground

I would say Chosen Realm but it fills me with blind rage for 2/3 of the episode so maybe just the end of that one

T'Pol and Hoshi forming a friendship after early antagonism

Hoshi defending Phlox

Hoshi slyly teasing T'Pol about Trip

Malcolm & Travis defending Phlox

Shran being Shran. Even when he's being a total little asshole.

Shran roasting Archer virtually every time they meet

This is not everything but I should probably stop now

Your turn. Help me look like less of a weirdo!

Can I ask you what you think of this?

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jul/02/google-ai-emissions

https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-5120581/three-mile-island-nuclear-power-plant-microsoft-ai

https://x.com/tsarnick/status/1842401670225125539?s=46

I’ve been reading a lot lately on how energy consuming ai actually isn’t, but then I see stuff like this and I get confused?

the two real sources that you've linked are using topical headlines for clicks--you will note that they both actually only describe power usage of datacenters. the percentage of any given datacenter that is used for AI is not publicly divulged but sources from google suggested a while ago that it's 10% or so. if you snapped your fingers and made LLM technology disappear overnight, microsoft and google would still be constantly expanding their datacenter capacity because they operate two of the biggest cloud systems in the world--there is a very misleading trick in these headlines where they say 'microsoft uses one morbillion kwh to power AI' and then you read it and they're just opening a datacenter.

now you might argue that constantly opening datacenters with huge power costs is still not good regardless of why, but that's a symptom of an economic system that demands endlessly climbing growth and profits, not of AI being scary and evil. if nobody had ever invented LLMs these tech companies would still be trying to make crypto or the metaverse happen and if nobody had invented those things they'd be making up some new solution in search of a problem to sell to anyone gullible enough to buy it--hell, they'd probably still be on Google Glass.

the last thing you linked is the CEO of google talking--& do you think perhaps there might be a vested interested for the CEO of a company who's put billions into LLMs to spread the message that the demand for LLMs is going to stay high and keep climbing forever and ever? not worth taking any more seriously than when elon musk says ai is going to make ready player one real or whatever

Nutrek has a received a lot of criticism but you have to admit the newer shows have done a much better job of showing more female characters, a wider range of female characters, and more women in leadership. And I’d say more positive women in leadership. We saw a lot of antagonist female admirals in the 90’s. If I had made this poll in 2005, most of the options would be characters we only saw for an episode, or brief scenes.

A Whovian Watches Star Trek for the First Time: Part 072 - The Ship that Waited

Star Trek: Enterprise - Season 3 Episode 21 - E²

Somewhat unusually we open with some old Vulcan Woman. Apparently, another 7 million people are dead, and this Vulcan needs to find Archer. What is happening?

After the intro, we cut to T'Pol on Enterprise, and Trip is stopping by for Neuropreasure, but because of T'Pol's heightened emotional state, she's reluctant to spend time with him. Apparently she hasn't left her quarters unless she's on duty.

Really really strangely, Enterprise encounters another Starfleet NX class ship. It can't be the NX-02, because it's still under construction, and then, the name of the ship comes on Screen: It's another Enterprise.

The crew of this second enterprise, captained by a Vulcan warns them that they'll be thrown back in time if they travel forwards. A perfectly reasonable explanation for how this has all come about, even if the attempt to stop it happening transgresses the First Law of Time.

Apparently the Lorian's Enterprise has ways to modify Archer's Enterprise to reach speeds as high as Warp 6.9, which definitely gonna be helpful! Archer and T'Pol don't believe Lorian however, so they got o Phlox to check DNA and apparently Lorian is Trip and T'Pol's child, which is a bit of a huge reveal!

Lorian got a nice scene with Trip. Apparently Lorian's Enterprise's Trip died when he was young, and the scene is kinda sad. Archer also got to spend time with his great granddaughter, and even with a much older T'Pol.

Lorian is an absolutely amazing character. He's sort of a reflection of the path Archer started going down in Damage. Just like Archer there, he's filling to sabotage Archer's Enterprise in the name of his mission, and justifies it with "We have no other option". Hopefully, this serves as a wake up call for Archer.

A firefight between both enterprise ensues, and Archer's solution of Transporting Lorian's Enterprise's key components onto our own enterprise was a genius way of getting around their equal firepower.

Lorian's Enterprise's sacrifice at the end, to keep fire off of Archer's enterprise was a really touching ending, and redemption for his character. I hope this isn't the end for him, but it seems like he either went down or it's mission erased itself from history. I would make a Faction Paradox reference, but not even most Whovians would understand that.

This episode was really good. Both crews interactions with eachother were brilliant, and the premise of this episode was a very creative way of furthering Trip and T'Pol's relationship. This episode feels a lot like Eleventh Doctor episode "The Girl Who Waited", just with less tragedy to it, and that is a high compliment. This was a really good episode.

janice lester to captain kirk: your world of starship captains doesn’t admit women

captain erika hernandez of the nx-02 columbia, a hundred years earlier: 🤨

[weerd1]

ENT Rewatch Starlog, 5 May, 2024- Final Entry: Episode 4.03 “Home”

Archer and his senior staff are welcomed home where the Captain gives a speech reminding everyone of the 27 crewmembers lost in the operations to stop the Xindi.

He prepares for a board of inquiry regarding the mission while reconnecting with Erica Hernandez, former romance who is about to take command of the NX-02 Columbia.

T’Pol asks Trip if he would accompany her to Vulcan and he agrees. They arrive at T’Pol’s childhood home where she is surprised to find her mother, T’Les, at home.

T’Les informs her that she has stepped down from the Vulcan Science Academy, and is herself surprised that T’Pol has brought a colleague home. Later alone, she mentions to T’Pol that Koss, her betrothed, has been reaching out. 

Reed, Mayweather, and Phlox are in a bar in San Francisco when they are accosted by humans who display ignorant prejudice against Phlox (because prejudice, xenophobia, and judging someone by race or species is ignorance and if I have to tell you that I wonder what the hell you’re doing watching Star Trek in the first place) which results in a fistfight. Phlox demonstrates an old Denobulan defensive posture inflating his face, which scares off the human dipshits. Later, when invited to the surface by Hoshi Sato, Phlox chooses to stay on Enterprise.

Ambassador Soval seems to be out to get Archer during his inquiry, specifically about the Vulcan ship that was destroyed during their Zombie-like attack. Archer loses his cool and is ordered by Admiral Forrest to take some time off. He decides to go rock climbing but is joined by Hernandez. In the course of their climb Archer begins to display the inner turmoil he’s been dealing with since his actions in the Expanse, and tells Hernandez that he wants to be away form her for reminding him of what he used to be. She offers to help him find that man again together, and they kiss.

Tucker is beginning to grow on T’Les, particularly after doing some repairs around home. Koss arrives and asks to speak to T’Pol. He reveals he will not break their betrothal, offering even to resort to the Kal-If-Ee  if necessary—the fight to the death for the bride. T’Pol continues to reject him until he tells her that her mother was asked to step down from the academy because of T’Pol making enemies in the Vulcan High Command. He says his influential father could restore her status.

T’Pol takes Trip to the statues near the Vulcan Forge and tells him she will marry Koss.  Later when confronted by T’Les, Tucker admits that at that moment he realized he loves T’Pol.  T’Les says T’Pol should know that. Tucker remains silent however, and tells T’Pol how wonderful she looks. She steals a quick kiss, and then the marriage proceeds.

Archer completes his hearing and stays after to apologize to Soval. Soval states he has listened to T’Pol and reviewed the case. He is grateful to Archer for saving not just Earth but the Alpha Quadrant from the Expanse, and shakes his hand.

This is a very good episode giving us the closing to the Xindi storyline we needed. I know it’s beating a dead horse, but something like this I believe would have served the end of Voyager well. I especially appreciate the post-trauma reaction Archer is going through (something I have also experienced after my own service in war zones) and if I had to complain about anything in this episode it would just be that it could have used one more scene of him finding a little more reconciliation. The implication that he will be better because he doesn’t have to face it alone is great, but I think a little too much of the healing happens off screen.

Let’s however hear it for Ada Maris as Erika Hernandez (though she goes un-named here…and that’s dumb). Dispelling the old TOS line about the realm of being a Starship Captain being for men is great; I know we see her again, but it’s a shame season 5 didn’t let us see some more. I am very aware of the Beta Canon fate of the NX-02, and the evolution of her character, but would love to have some more just plain Captain Hernandez stories.  

The Tri’Pol stuff here is the kind of thing that propels a thousand shippers (me too) and is so well played for the tragedy.  As much as I praise Ada Maris as Hernandez, let’s also applaud Joanna Cassidy (a science fiction legend herself) as T’Les. Not only do I immediately buy her as T’Pol’s mother, but she brings a calm a subtlety to match Jolene Blalock, that was too often replaced with arrogance for Vulcans on this show. But this?

This is a knife to the heart in the best way.

The introduction of a human xenophobia is good here, and wow do I wish it were less relevant to us today. I know this will play out later in the season with Earth First movements, etc, but even when this aired, I think it said a lot about what happened in the US after September 11th with many darker skinned people being assaulted in a blanket reaction to actual terrorists (my then brother-in-law among them). I wish we’d learned more in the last 20 years, but also hope we’ll learn more by 2154. Watching the news though admittedly gives me some of Archer’s pessimism.

But this brings it to an end; I have spent the last few months rewatching and reviewing the Xindi storyline, and for the most part find it holds up pretty well, perhaps even better than I received it then. There are certainly some missteps along the way, but it has definitely reinforced my appreciation for this show as a much stronger member of the Trek family than me as a dumb-ass continuity-obsessed gate-keeper two decades back might have thought. Glad I got better, and I hope we all can, honestly.  There is new Trek I love, and some I think really misses the mark, but in the end Star Trek is ALWAYS relevant, and all Star Trek speaks to someone.  I can’t fault that. Gives me faith of the heart. 

If you’ve read these and enjoyed them, thank you for coming along with me. If you've like to find the rest they are all tagged "enterprise rewatch" and "xindi saga" on my blog.

O festival I wanna be tour promete trazer bandas que marcaram os anos 2000 a atração contará com a banda canadense Simple Plan

Um dos eventos mais esperados para 2024 já tem data, o I Wanna Be Tour Festival acontecerá no mês de março, e passará por cinco capitais brasileiras, são elas: São Paulo (2 de março, no Allianz Parque), Curitiba (3 de março, no Estádio do Couto Pereira), Recife (6 de março, na Área Externa do Centro de Convenções Pernambuco), Rio de Janeiro (9 de março, no Engenhão – Estádio Nilton Santos) e Belo Horizonte (10 de março, na Arena da Independência). A venda de ingressos começa no dia 4 de outubro, a partir do meio-dia, na Eventim.

O evento foi anunciado oficialmente  nesta segunda-feira (02), pela 30e, a turnê “I Wanna Be Tour”, que contará com a presença de nomes que marcaram o gênero pop punk: Simple Plan, A Day To Remember, The All-American Rejects, All Time Low, The Used, Asking Alexandria, NX Zero, Pitty, Boys Like Girls, Mayday Parade, Plain White T’s e Fresno.

“Eu acompanho a cena do pop punk há algum tempo, e logo depois da pandemia percebi que houve uma grande procura, no exterior, de artistas desse gênero. E foi assim que pensamos na 30e: por que não fazer algo do gênero no Brasil, mas do nosso jeito? Esse foi o ponto de partida para a inspiração e criação do I Wanna Be Tour. Começamos a correr atrás dos artistas e montar um verdadeiro quebra-cabeças para realizar uma turnê inédita em nosso país e que juntasse o melhor que existe nesse segmento dentro e fora do Brasil”, afirma Caio Jacob, Vice-Presidente de Global Touring & Festivals.

“Tivemos respostas muito positivas com as tours que realizamos neste último ano. As turnês ‘Titãs Encontro’ e ‘Cedo ou Tarde’, do NX Zero, por exemplo, se transformaram em experiências para além do que é esperado de um show. É como se, a cada apresentação, fosse criado um espaço de nostalgia capaz de reativar lembranças de bons momentos, mas também de criar novas memórias ao lado de amigos e família”, comenta Guss Luveira, Vice-presidente de Marketing da 30e. “A ideia com a I Wanna Be Tour foi justamente a de abraçar uma geração e uma cena que foram muito importantes para a construção do pop punk dos anos 2000. Não à toa, toda a comunicação e identidade visual acompanham esse raciocínio. Vamos ter um espaço seguro e livre de julgamentos”, ele complementa.

Assault on the Qu'Vat colony "Divergence"

[partly-cloudyskies]

Home sick, so it's a chance to build MY SPACESHIPS. This is the last of the NX ships I got on sale so I wanna do right with it. This desire leads to interesting places!

I've done so many of these (2) before so I barely need instructions. Hoped to move right along (Ah, so dumb).

I wanted to give this a green tinge. YOU SEE, the NX 01 has a kind of red bronze metal finish and the NX 02 has a silvery blue. So I figured this one should have a copper green look.

At first I was hoping to avoid the gunmetal gray primer that I used on the first NX. It's too thick, gums up detail, and it's a boring color. But you can see the reults up top. it looks bad. I could have layered up a smoother gradient, but that's a bit too much time spent on this.

So I gave up and sprayed a very, very light dusting of gunmetal gray primer over the green and holy fuck it's almost exactly the effect I was hoping for.

It even shifts from gray to green depending on how the light hits. Wish I could say this was all intentional but no, pure accident. Good one tho.

I finished painting it yesterday and it’s pretty sick imo, but I have one more step.

Aztec decals! You only really get these if you're willing to go all the way with a star trek model (well, the real distance is painting it on yourself, which is not a road I see myself going down). This is my first time doing this and I have a head cold.

So I'm wrapped up in a blanket with my nose running, shaking like a lil grandma while cutting out and applying 70+ blobs of gray squares.

They do look good tho

There's also Lin Yu-Ting, a Taiwanese boxer. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/02/nx-s1-5061280/olympic-womens-boxing-gender-imane-khelif-lin-yuting

Apart from the general transphobia, there are some accusations that the IBA, the body which declared Khelif and Yu-Ting to not be "real" women, is captured by the Russian government and accused them of not being women to invalidate their wins against the competitor Russia preferred. Fun.

Can't fucking believe they're doing trans panic about an Olympics with precisely zero trans women in it
