Printer driver failure: All hands abandon ship!

I know that this is a lighthearted place, but why do you think so? E-Mail is one of the most democratic and equity promoting forms of communication there is through its decentralisation and open standardisation. It would be the very kind of thing the Federation would want to preserve or introduce itself.

I think it's far more plausible that Spock simply didn't scan for life signs, as his mission was to install the rockets and had nothing to do with rescuing any survivors in the first place, he stumbled upon Chapel by accident. It's also logical to assume that there would not be any other survivors left in the same space as Chapel as from Spock's perspective, she would have brought such along or at least have informed him of them. Therefore, we can conclude that there wasn't any misconduct from either of the two.

The Bajoran Resistance hits different

Though I must confess that I am skeptical about scenes like this. In my opinion, DS9 often comes dangerously close to glorifying terrorism, which might have had a more positive reputation in the U.S. in the light of the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan, however, little did they know that they themselves would become the occupiers from the perspective of many people, especially in the Arab world. I doubt that DS9 would have approached terrorism the way it did if it would have been made after 9/11.

So whats everyone watching on Thursdays now that SNW has wrapped up?

I am re-watching Picard and are near the end of season 2 now. I've found the show to be much better and indeed extremely enjoyable if one binges it. The one episode per week scheme at release when I first watched Picard was really detrimental to such a heavily serialised story, in my opinion. After Picard, I will be re-watching all three seasons of Lower Decks to prepare for the fourth in September.
