centered around a remembrance day I don't think. And I don't recall any of Trek using pins for remembrance days. I can only think of Captains Day as an event on the Enterprise D for kids.

 

Spoiler

It's really just their version of memorial day which is coming up.   In the grand scheme of things both this and Captains day are just a plot device to push the narrative.   Captains Day in TNG was just an excuse to stick Picard with kids (since he doesn't like kids) together.   And in the process let his character develop a bit.    This being La'an focused they used the idea of Remembrance day (Memorial day) as the backdrop to cover PTSD and losing ship mates on duty.     

 

Hell, Voyager made up it's own holiday in one episode on the spot....so...   who cares?

Spoiler

I'll watch the episode again when I get the chance but I believe the Gorn main ship and the smaller attack ship that the shuttle was spying on was waiting at a higher orbit compared to how far down Enterprise was.    Remember when the other ship starts to get close to her it imploded.    I think the shuttle could take it for the small amount of time they'd be outside before getting back into the landing bay.    Also keep in mind the ship was already banged up from the initial attack before they could get the shields up.    So I think that just makes the strain on the ship more of a issue compared to if it was in working order.

Didn't like how preachy last episode got compared to current events.  Hopefully next episodes tone it down. I watch too escape the day to day not to be reminded of it. 

Can't really blame the episode for that... It was filmed months ago, after all...

Just finished episode 5, not what I thought it would be from the preview teaser I saw.  They went in a interesting direction with it though this to was something we saw at the end of TOS.

 

Spoiler

Kirk had his body swap episode in the series final ep of season 3 iirc.  Don't know if any of the other shows did it, I don't remember.  Still, not badly done.  Also the B plot was fun.  The interrogation scene gave me some laughs.

It was a strong episode. Nothing world changing, but a nice lightly humorous episode which probably means they were saving money for something more action-y later on.

 

One thing though...

 

Spoiler

Can they please stop trying to ship Una and La'an? Those two characters have zero chemistry between them and just feels too forced...

I think it works because their characters are supposed to both a bit wooden and anti-social. Riker as Nr1 was popular with the ladies and crew on and off duty, whereas Una "scares people" and that's the difference too.

I had some time to kill and rewatched the episode today...

 

Spoiler

The interrogation scene still makes me laugh.

 

There's also a teaser out for episode 6 but the end up getting pulled so I'm not going to post it here like before.

Overall I enjoyed the episode, and am really liking the dynamic that's developing between Spock and Chapel.  Sooo much better than how it was portrayed in TOS.

 

However...

 

Spoiler

I do not, and never HAVE, liked "space pirate" episodes where a dozen scruffy crooks can successfully take over a massive psuedo-military ship with hundreds of trained professional crew in a mere matter of minutes.  I find the whole concept to be ridiculous and utterly impossible.  I have always hated whenever Trek has done it, and I still hate it now. 

 

My suspension of disbelief can only go so far...

I think it's clear that with this first season the writers are just going down the list of classic TOS hits, this week was the pirates, we had the sub battle, virus outbreak etc etc.     I expect them to branch it out more in season 2.  Episode 8 preview looks wild IMO.

Well... That was... different!

I've been enjoying this show but struggled with this episode.

 

Oddly enough, I remember TNG having episodes like this such as the one where the crew were turning in to amphibious creatures and the Enterprise was turning in to an ecosystem and I enjoyed the episode.

 

Edit: For clarity I'm referring to Season 7, Episode 19 titled Genesis.

I have to admit, I didn't hate it (and I spent a lot of time wondering if a certain alphabetically inclined entity was around) and the ending was quite.. emotional.  The cast's acting was wonderfully hammy. So much so that it was brilliant!

 

It's definitely one for the thinking Trek fan of eld rather than the more modern fan with a preference for fast paced action.

Absolutely, it wasn't a horrible episode. I think we just weren't expecting an episode like that. I spent the first half wondering what the hell was going on. 🤣

Which should be by design.   You don't know what's going on just like the Doctor doesn't.   

 

Preview for next week has a horror vibe going.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.3 changelog: Fixes issues with MP4 files with more than 8 channels Fixes incorrect VBR detection for some CBR MP3 files Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
