    When looking at the "Com Badge" and other Starfleet insignia most people forget that in The Original Series every ship had a distinct insignia similar to modern Military Units having their own patch, the emblem used in all other shows and movies was originally specific to the Enterprise.

    • @AaronLitz
      @AaronLitz 7 месяцев назад +3

      Yes, absolutely, and I hate how that detail just gets completely ignored by every later series. It was so much more interesting when each and every starship and starbase had its own individual insignia/service badge, and the Starfleet insignia on the breast of every officer's uniform was actually the service patch of _their individual ship or base_ with the unique _division_ insignia at the center (the star with an elongated top point for Command Division, the circle containing an oval for Sciences Division, and the curlicue for Operations Division.)
      But for some reason the Federation decided to just start using the _Enterprise_ Command Division insignia as the _combined emblem for _*_all of Starfleet,_* while at the same time _completely changing Starfleet uniforms every 8 years or so._ Just _why_ an immense, interstellar organization would ever decide to completely redesign its uniforms so Goddamn frequently is just _absolutely mind-boggling,_ and even with replicator technology it would still be a huge waste pf time and effort to keep needlessly redesigning the damn things.
      My personal explanation is that, in the Federation's Post-Scarcity civilization, there are _huge_ swaths of people who choose to devote their lives to the utterly useless "professions" of fashion and clothing design, and in order to keep these utterly useless people occupied with the _illusion_ of contributing to Starfleet and actually accomplishing something meaningful with their loves (without having to _actually_ get any kind of education or training at Starfleet Academy, and without exposing themselves in any kind of risk by _actually_ serving in Starfleet) Starfleet Command must have decided to humor them by running continuous "Design the Next Starfleet Uniform!" contests.
      I imagine it being a big, stupid, American Idol style show with a panel of inane celebrity judges, with models taking way too long to display every design, and full of endless run-off competitions... and that is why Starfleet keeps getting totally new uniforms every few years despite the confusion and stupidity that completely defeats the entire purpose of wearing uniforms in the first place (to give everyone in the organization a _uniform appearance._ If different people in the same organization are wearing _different_ "uniforms," _then they _*_aren't_*_ uniforms.)_
      I could actually see _Lower Decks_ going with this idea.

    I read an interview a few months ago with a functionally blind man about using the Apple Vision Pro. Most people who are legally blind don't just see darkness - they either have a very constricted field of view or a limited depth of field (or both). A common trait is that the brightness of their surroundings can be overwhelming, even physically painful. This man could only discern blurred shapes of anything more than a half foot or so from his face. When he used Apple's visor, it effectively projected a perfectly clear panorama of his surrounding on a surface only an inch or so from his eyes. It was not only the first time he had actually been able to perceive the world around him in perfect clarity as the sighted do, it gave him the ability to dim the world, allowing him to view it at a comfortable level of intensity.

    Number 6 of the phasers about avoiding inaccuracies by making it all up, that basically applies to /all/ star trek technology. I saw a discussion about it somewhat recently, star trek technology is basically all determined by plot demands, so basically any technology can perform any way it's needed at any time, they /try/ to stay somewhat consistent with what's been said before but sometimes fail. The franchise is /full/ of examples. Like not being able to beam through shields, except when they do it anyway. Using the deflector dish to do /all/ sorts of stuff. All the holodeck and transporter accidents that reveal capabilities that are only usually covered in one episode and never repeated even when it would /actually/ be useful. Not being able to copy the voyager doctor's program even though it should be entirely data, and they can copy /parts/ of it, and in one possibly non-canon episode it's even stated he has a backup module with a copy of his program, yet he's repeatedly risked his program being lost.

    • @kev3d
      @kev3d 7 месяцев назад +1

      The holodecks being incapable of creating anything dangerous is one of my favorites, especially since the holodeck malfunctions in such a way that endangers the occupants or even the entire ship several times. Evidently, no one onboard knows how to 1. open a door 2. find the off switch.
      Which leads to another tech problem: they can detect life forms from hundreds (thousands? millions) of kilometers away, and beam through empty space, a thick atmosphere, even through soild rock...but they can't detect and beam out anyone from the malfunctioning holodeck.

    • @l.scales7516
      @l.scales7516 2 месяца назад

      the last one is because it exists in multiple alternate st universes yet not all, same as the holodeck. the tech can only merge where there is at least scientific study closely related to the tech field where it may possibly be a theory to be experimented with on paper as was e=mc² .

    With regards to the Laser weapons in the cage, I've always theorised that there was a certain level of parallel development between phaser and laser weaponry, Star Fleet was working on both, and - while Phaser eventually came out on top - for a while there was parity between the two, with lasers even being better at certain points in time

As a young boy in the 70s I watched reruns of TOS every chance I got. In the 80s, my parents wouldn't make me come to the table for meal time if a new TNG episode was on. I got to eat in my bedroom. So seeing that beautiful Galaxy class Enterprise crash was a gut punch.

    RE: "Type 1s could actually be slotted into the Type 2 Phaser... (pause) for some reason".
    It's starting to feel like Trek Lore has been around long enough to begin growing 'Fuzzy'. I feel like any long-time Trek Fan knows the reason. (However, I'll admit this might be "Head Cannon" because I can't credit where I learned this) The Type 1 slots into the Type 2 as the combined weapon unit's controls and energy source and we can think of the Type 2 phaser as a battery and power booster for the Type 1. The Type 2 is used when the Type 1 doesn't have the power. Also, Type 1 is used by shipboard duty crew and away teams on diplomatic or 'low-risk' missions (most often), while Type 2 is issued for shipboard combat or riskier Away missions.
    I apologize if it turns out that I'm just making this up but if anyone can tell me where this info is documented, I'd just feel better about my geriatric brain's ability to dredge up info!!! Love You, Trek Culture!!! LLAP!

    • @Z1gguratVert1go

      I see the Type II as the add-on, with the Type I having the "working guts." The Type II gives you a bigger power pack as you said, and better ergonomics, making it easier to aim at something that wasn't literally at point-blank range. In real life there are lots of add-ons available for popular pistols to turn them into carbines. They don't actually become any more accurate in and of themselves, but the superior ergonomics means you can better target something farther away.

    As an Air Force veteran I can say the ''DELTA'' symbol pre-dates Trek by about 25 years. Roddenberry also being a veteran in my opinion, let's say he may have ''liberated'' it. To the point of the transporter I think it wouldn't work as well with a Schroeder compensator. Besides a huge box just showing up would leave too many questions.

  • @ericacook2862
    @ericacook2862 7 месяцев назад +4

    Something I think we forget about technical advances. The combadg issue on Enterprise C could be explained. Sometimes technology comes out before it's really ready. For instance the portable phone. One was designed in the 1920s. It worked by connecting to some metallic source that could work as an antenna. Unfortunately, it didn't connect to the phone lines and could only call other devices like itself. It was clumsy and not very useful if others didn't have one too so it fizzled out. But it was the inspiration for the car phone which did take off. There's many things like that like the video phone. They've existed since the 70s but never took off for practical reasons, now facetiming is common. It could be that the first combadges came out but weren't entirely practical due to technical reasons. Hell, it could be they took up too much storage space. so they were phased back out until someone could work out the issues.

But he realized they might become common in the not too distant future (ie, like now), and that's when people would start to say "lasers can't do that". Prescient as always.

    On Transporters, I always assume that NORMAL operations is to transport both the matter and the information, but in situations that lead to Transporter Clones, approx. half the matter is bounced back but the information gets through, to ensure the survival of the transportee the Transporter fills in the gaps with mass from a backup storage, or perhaps even the Replicator.
    It also explains why you can break a person who's been Tuvix'd back into two people, but not into the original two and the new Tuvix'd person, the safety system that they take advantage of does not work when trying to split someone three ways (too little original matter).

    The type 1 being "Slotted" into a type 2 is, in fact the ONLY way the type 2 can fire. The Type 1 acts as the generator, while the type 2 adaptation unit is an extended power pack and more powerful focusing array. The Type 2 has additional functionality (The type 1 cannot use "Wide angle stun" which can stun multiple targets with a single shot.)
    The type 2 is more conspicuous, and is usually carried by security personel, while the type 1 is used typically as a "Hold out" weapon, since it is more easily concealed.

They might want to check out the documentary called how William Shaner change the world, because Marty Cooper himself was talking about how he got his inspiration for the cell phone from watching Star Trek.

    I reckon the transporters do, in fact beam the atoms across as well as the information but if there is a problem with the atoms it only sends the information

    My own head canon about the transporter, is that any discrepancy between the number and types of atoms denationalized and materialized, is taken care of by bulk matter stores on the ship, basically the stuff that supplies the replicators. Basically the transporter could fix issues through supplying or returning any deficit or surplus to the ship's stores. In fact, it's quite likely stuff like this may be routine when it comes to pattern editing features, like disabling weapons, removing pathogens, or using the transporter for a medical procedure.

    Space Force logo is based upon US Logos featuring the Delta starting in 1940. US Space Command used the same symbol. I learned this from William Shatner when people on Twitter asked him for his opinion of Space Force copying Star Trek. He stated it was the other way around. They had evolved existing symbols from USAF and NASA.

    08:25 - Starfleet personnel in the TOS time frame were issued two types of phasers. The smaller hand phaser (Type 1) was easily concealable for more diplomatic encounters and generally carried near the small of the back on a waistband mounted magnotomic adhesion surface. The pistol grip (Type 2) served as an amplifier for the hand phaser. The hand phaser was slip-click mounted into the pistol grip for more overt defense/offense activity. Both Type 1 & 2 were carried on a uniform belt via a magnotomic adhesion surface, which was invented by the Vulcan Science Academy for use by their space-faring scientific forays into the galaxy (ENT:Carbon Creek).

    On the subject of phasers, specifically where Borg are concerned, I do have to wonder why the modified TR-116 rifle seen in DS9 was never something that Starfleet jumped on as a possible bypass to use when fighting drones. A physical projectile coupled with the micro-transporter, if properly calibrated (I swear I can't even think of that word without hearing Garrus....) would be, I think, incredibly effective. Straight up bullets would work sometimes but we already know their shields can repel physical impacts because they've been shown doing so, but their shields aren't "skin tight" so to speak, they're projected slightly outward from the drone, which makes perfectly good sense when you're shielding a body that can flex and move in unexpected ways, you wouldn't want your own shields accidentally crushing you. So if the micro-transporter were set to drop that projectile just inside the range of those shields then that seems like it should work.
    I'm already quite certain a whole bunch of people will come up with a whole bunch of "well akchually...." to counter the idea but who cares, it's an interesting thought all the same.

    There was even another type of transporter phaser. It was banned for being... _extremely unfair._ By mixing teleporter tech inside the weapon, it could let a sniper aim from behind a barrier... say, a wall... and sort of "Portal" the beam to another room to snipe the target. (Of course, a similar variant could make space battles all too easy. Knock your foes shields down and then "beam" your ship's phasers right into your enemy's most sensitive spots instead of the hull... blow them up even quicker.)
    I have a suspect reason for why the TOS Phasers had model 1 & 2 merged together. _Toys._ Decades before 'the world' had concerns about kids being shot by police with toy guns, Star Trek could see kids aiming those gun styles at people using real guns. So... a remote control looking model could both fool nobody about being shot at by a kid AND be cannon for said kid to go "Pew pew" while role playing as Kirk. Brilliant... if it is true.

    47:30 Sometime, the Duras sisters HAVE to be "saved" as future Alexander had a dagger that was given to the one sister to the other on the occasion of the birth of her second child and in this movie she was barely pregnant with her FIRST. Can you say counterdiction? Like maybe River Song killing Amy or Rory before they met(Doctor Who), or another Rory killing daddy for deserting her before she was born, maybe being the cause of the absence(Lucifer)(That one may be also considered a bootstrap paradox.)

    1:18:03 Desilu acquired their portions of RKO from General Tire and Rubber Company, the previous owner. General Tire and Rubber Company would later change its name to GenCorp to reflect that is was in other industries besides rubber - specifically aerospace and rocket propulsion. GenCorp would eventually incorporate as Aerojet Rocketdyne, which has a very long history in space flight from Gemini to Artemis.
