The kids are still there so it probably only jumps a year or two in the timeline.

I don't think it's even that far.... That snippet is clearly that kid having a nightmare and that kind of nightmare tends to happen right after the triggering trauma...

Well, I finally caught the new episode and I am really impressed, it's been away for three years but it was like climbing back into your own bed again, or that spot on the couch. Personally I remembered how much it was like Voyager in that every episode had you thinking for a little bit after it ends, like inviting you to pass judgment too as if you're part of the crew, and I definitely got that feeling again.

 

Great opene, I was worried

Spoiler

the whole episode was going to be in space dock, but I was not disappointed!

I am struggling to understand the need for the single seater ship though? It doesn't even look big enough to be carrying any serious weaponry?

With the exception of some slow paced scenes & choosing to combat test an experimental fighter within a dockyard rather than a test range it was an incredible episode. The new science lab looks a bit iffy but apart from that all the other set & wardrobe changes I think are an improvement

Yeah I thought that was super weird and dangerous!

I bet it was cost saving on CGI.  They had that whole thing already made so they just used it instead of making a new area specifically for the test.

All they required was a starfield though because you would surely test new weapons.....in an open area

They might have also wanted to make it look flashy.  Whatever works.

I almost choked on my beer laughing at Bortis gagging after Gordons double Helix maneuver 😛 😂

Agreed!  This kind of humour is sooo much better than the obvious jokes from season 1.

They've really stepped up the quality, not that there was anything wrong with the previous seasons. I really hope  we get another season.

Any TV exec not signing YES!YES!YES! on this show is clearly a twit.

Solid season finale...almost felt like a series finale (no cliffhangers) which hopefully it is not.

Yeah, it better not be ending man. Was nice to see Alara again.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
