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.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      By Copernic · Posted

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
