How do you know it was the Borg Queen?  Ignoring the fact that it would give away the plot (as if we didn't know the Borg were the real bad guys) why would the Borg Queen disguise herself when speaking to Vadic?

It was the Borg queen, that is established and not up for debate. However why she would disguise themselves - not really sure on that. My initial thought was that they were manipulating the changelings, not showing their true hand but then again, we know Vadic was aware it was the Borg, by her reference to Seven.

Maybe it was a way of not being detected, but yeah - seems unnecessary beyond storytelling and obfuscating the truth from the viewer.

I figured it was just because it was changeling goo being used to represent the comms image, rather than a holograph, and they didn't really need full resolution just for a chat...

The bridge module is interchangeable within the top of the saucer section. My guess is that the Generation bridge (which yes is very different) was irreplaceable and so they used an older part.

Oh that was absolutely my interpretation too, but I mean - feels like an odd thing to do…

Now we just have to wait to see if this gets a spin-off show.  Come on Enterprise G!    I'm down for some adventures with Captain Seven, #1 Raffi and Jack, which if they do another little time skip could be a commander in rank, or Lt. Cmdr.

I'm down if they dump Raffi. That character is just annoying.  Jack could be interesting to explore further...

Mate, I so absolutely agree.  She reminds me way too much of people I have known.  People who have had addiction issues and keep talking about how they have overcome them, in an almost "better than you cos you've never had such issues" way and yet STILL seem to be spun out and in ###### situations because they make ridiculous choices.  That character angers me at a really personal level - plus she looks like she smells quite bad of stale cigarettes, cheap liquor and sweat.

I don't know if that would happen seeing how it ended and she's part of the crew.  Might be fine though, they just have to work on her character better.  Comes down to the writers on that one.

If it's not just a cameo, a more fitting end to the TNG cast than Nemesis?

Star Trek VI was a great curtain call for the original cast, although Shatner had quite a big role in Generations.

It makes me wonder if it will become a vehicle to promote whatever Legacy turns out to be and was heavily hinted at the end of Picard S3.

I'm hoping they announce Legacy soon and not wait for a movie to kick it off.

Also, I hope that Paramount doesn't merge with Warner Bros/Discovery because David Zaslav will kill the franchise.

There's a part of me that hopes that Paramount does merge with them...a small part, but a part.

Only because that would mean Paramount titles would finally be available on Movies Anywhere.

I doubt they'd kill it, the stuff he has killed had to go, and WB is better off for it right now.  Also one less streaming service out there, we can have Paramount+ move all it's stuff into MAX.

    • 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.
