I really hope they spin-off Picard with the Enterprise G (they could probably do without Picard's 42 year old 'son' though and find someone actually in their 20s)

I was really hoping they would have gone with Jerri Ryan and a Titan series which would have included Jack and could have brought back any of the TNG characters at any time.

Todays episode was good.

I like the fact that it was multifaceted, not only focusing on the cadets trama but also the doctors.

 

I liked it except for the appearance of the most incompetent Starfleet officer in any century. So I forwarded those bits.

The only Trek I've liked since the TV reboots is Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and Picard. They share a common theme too, being out there exploring with competent Starfleet officers!

I love Star Trek and have an emotional family memories spanning a few decades.

Having said that I found this season to be extremely disappointing. While it had two above average episodes the rest were rubbish.

I just can't accept a homosexual Klingon and also found the character of SAM to be annoying and what happened to Holly Hunter, has she had a stroke at some point? She talks out of the side of her mouth. It rates 4.4 on IMDB and I'm surprised it has a second season.

Just my opinion.

This show would have been utter poo if it wasn't for the Paul Giammatti character.

Agreed with SNW and Picard. Never watched Lower Decks.

Did you not like Star Trek: Discovery?

Absolutely not. Michael Burnham, Tilly? ugh can't stand them. There was so much wrong with that show, putting emotionally unstable people on the bridge and officers with the mental age of a preteen (Tilly). And it lasted 5 seasons!

Ok, fair enough.

Burnham was a classic Mary Sue, and Tilly... Yeah, agreed.  And Academy got off to a GREAT start with one of the cadets swallowing her combadge...

The sooner Kurtzman is gone from Trek, the better.

you're missing out on Lower Decks, it's pretty good and lots of references to old shows as well.
ST:D...... It says enough doesn't it?? 😛

I put on lower decks and it was very loud and my head hurt. 

Also references to old star trek does not necessarily make good star trek.

I watched the first season of Lower Decks but never got around to seeing more than the odd random episode here and there after that. It's not that it was bad, it just didn't grab me.  It was too much like Futurama in a Trek skin for me, really.

I watched a few episodes of Lower Deck, and I couldn't wrap my head around the premise of Star Trek being silly and haven't watched any more of it.  One day I'll go back and watch the series.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
