It’s $14 million per episode my brother. 20 more minutes would add another 2 or 3 million to the price tag. It’s a very expensive show compared to STNG, which cost $1.3 million per episode!!!!!!

Where did you find that each episode was $14 million?

Considering Disco is around $8.5 million per episode, I find it hard to believe it's almost double that..

Yeah, I don't trust reddit that much for accuracy without a legitimate source.  I'm not surprised the cost per episode around that amount being the complexity of the sets, number of actors and F/Xs.

This last episode was awesome and very emotional (when Picard was talking to Sogi and she was asking him about DATA). Very emotional scene.

 

Yes Seven’s future looks grim and I have a funny feeling all this Borg stuff is going to connect with Discovery’s Control storyline. I think Airiam has a lot to do with The Borg and how they were created. Airiam will be back in Season 3. Someone spotted “Airiam” and Hannah Cheessman name on one of the trailers at a season 3 filming location. It’s on the web, look it up as I am too lazy right now to look it up for you. Remember, Airiam downloaded all her memories to Discovery, just like Spock downloaded all of his to McCoy and DATA to B-4. Airiam, like Spock, was jettisoned from Discovery in a photon tube and into space. Where did her body end up at?

 

Think about it dudes. Airiam is 67% human. So are the Borg!!!!!. I really think Airiam has a lot to do with the Borg. Maybe I am wrong, but we will find out soon. This is getting really interesting.

 

Your thoughts?

Another thing that I noticed, but I am pretty sure some of you did as well, did you notice when seven of nine took control of the Borg cube, her eyes turned pitch black. When Control Took over Leland his eyes turned pitch black as well, just like Seven of nine. I don’t know but this is definitely all borg related.

Unless they time travel back to 13th century or prior, I dont know how. Voyager established that the borg were at least expanding in the delta quadrant at this time near the vaadwaur empire.

 

The only way control could be borg influenced would be if Starfleet was using the sphere wreckage from first contact.

 

I do hope we get some borg origin stories going though, there always seems to be a human component tossed around during their discussions of their creation.

Don't rely on established canon when CBS are concerned. They've showed an unpleasant propensity towards ignoring what came before in the interests of telling their own story.

Well, using the old Borg sphere tech could be one way they built Control, and it could bring everything full circle in a sense.  We'll see how it all works out but using Borg tech in the past from ST:FC, which comes around in the future to infect and take over a left over Borg Cube in ST:P and also ties into events in ST:D would be something.

 

For all the complaints about canon and so on, CBS/Viacom are now one so all those old  rules no longer apply.  I think they've already set plans in motion to bring everything together.  You don't just green light all these seasons, and they're not exactly cheap unless they've went in a new direction with filming which brings the costs down.

I wonder what ever happened to Harry Mudd's android's.  If Romulans were destroying all synth's did they get rid of them as well?

Well, I wasn't expecting THAT!

 

Spoiler

Another Soong huh? They sure blindsided everyone with THAT!  All the pundits were expecting to find Maddox, with the one that died being an android copy of some kind...

 

I wonder if that synth being grown is a new version of Data himself...

Hate to say it, wasn't a fan of last night's episode.

 

 

I have to agree. I expected more. It seemed slow and boring and Brent Spinner’s character didn’t quite make sense. Maybe next week things will be much more clear? I am still hoping to see Q show up.

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By thartist · Posted

      This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
