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?

I would like to know where you got this info from too.

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.

maybe we will see DATA’s resurrection after all?

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.

      The first improvement they need to make to audio in W11 is to add an equalizer that actually works.
