    Yeah. While it has not always been consistently presented - e.g. TNG "Unnatural Selection", VOY "Lineage" - the United Federation of Planets does have a ban on genetic modification of sentient beings. Dr. M'Benga's violation of that ban in this episode is kind of the least of this episode's writing problems, though. Consider, if you will... The fact that M'Benga almost certainly broke the law for this weirdly trivial away mission is a tiny, tiny problem next to the vast number of other writing problems in this episode.

    Yeah, I bought it. I had the original Zephyrus G14 and I loved it, but it was getting a bit dated (only 1080p, only 60hz, only 16GB of RAM, and an RTX 2060 Max-Q). I'd been eyeing the new model since they announced it, and between the $400 discount and a $500 gift card I got for cashing in credit card rewards I couldn't resist. Haven't had a chance to install any games yet, but the 2880x1800 120hz OLED display with HDR is a huge upgrade by itself. It's a small thing, but I had the original in white, and the light bleed through the keys made using the backlighting on the keyboard really undesirable. This time around it's much better, and I can customize the color to boot. Slightly lighter, slightly thinner, double the RAM, newer Ryzen AI 9 CPU, and an RTX 5070ti mobile and I'm pretty content so far. We'll see how it handles gaming later.

    I think it’s the eyes and the color

    Here's something a little easier on the eyes with cleaned up stripes. Going for a WW2 pacific Corsair feel (kinda).

    06 doesn't look like a spider!? 🤔

    Interesting point. We talked about the "always black" engine/legs before, but I hadn't really thought about the stripes always highlighting the leading edges. I guess that's kind of normal for every plane, but with the 31 and how broad the wing/top area is, it ends up leaving a lot of empty space. As a very quick experiment, I tried throwing some front-to-back stripes on one of the planes and changing the engines to a color match shade. It's not pretty, but it does give a different feel. I may play with some cooler color schemes and see what I can come up with.

    I wonder if it is going to be true 1/60 scale or what size reference they uses to determine the dimensions. That pilot looks very nice for figure that size considerin it should be a bit smaller that Sentinel pilot figure

    Matt Smith is the obvious villain and while he is a good actor its such a f'ing unoriginal and lazy casting move.

    You and me both!!! Seeing it in person at WF23 Winter really had me ready to drop down money for a couple (maybe a few) of them at day 1 preorder. I wonder if the release of the original VF-4G under Yamato has them worried.

    I think better is a tough way to label a type of music most of the time, but I definitely like Bauhaus a lot more. Less pop more dark. I personally really love the first album by Christian Death, but if I were to call it better than most goth or death rock, there would be plenty that think that Only Theatre of Pain is horribly annoying. Or Personally think that Type O Negative is way more entertaining than Marylin Manson or that Minisistry is my pick above Rob Zombie, but I don’t really like to throw the term better as much anymore and really try my best not to use it as much these days. But there are definitely things I personally prefer over a lot of other things. Although I’m sure I sometimes still use the term better by accident here and there.

    I’m with you there. He is willing to give warnings about the dangers of the alien species, but doesn’t seem to care much beyond that and also seems in on the transmissions, but doesn’t want to do anything about it. Almost as if he’s either doing his own experiments or just doesn’t think these new bots are worthy of being held up as more advanced than himself. I kinda get the feeling that things have to be standardized at least as far as connections. They’ve gotten to the point where people have to be put in hibernation and have to have their tech up and running when they reach a settlement that might still rely on tech from many years before. Not saying there aren’t technical leaps, but just that they probably have to be done in a way to keep people connected over large distances that take some long travel times. Things are probably just designed for basic compatibility

    Wait... didn't Starfleet disallow Una's race from joining Starfleet or the Federation for genetic tampering...

    I think the main reason is that it has such a broad, level, and featureless top side. It's literally just a flat and wide deck, and doesn't help that every pattern painted on it focuses on it's leading edges, which highlights its lateral width. That and the way the engines are always highlighted in black, as if some hot rod engine mod protruding out of a hood cutout. If it had more longitudinal patterns, body matching engine colors, and maybe some depthwise and vent like paintjobs like the shark gills on the YF-29 or vents on VF-0's airbrake, it would probably look more aggressive

    I'm being a broken record here, but I think Bandai has made their point through the lack of accessories with the YF-19's Revival and sprinkled that extra bit of salt on the wound with the inclusion of FP but only fold booster struts on the YF-21. They probably hate the idea of items in anyone's collection having accesories parity lol Maybe if they buckle their own trend to fleece people with Basara's sound booster, it will open the floodgates to more moaning have and Bandai go back and make right with these last few releases. But that's just me snorting a lot of hopium.

    I'm not so sure that Kirsch is interested in catching Morrow; I think Kirsch is playing on his own team, as I don't think he likes being condescended to by Boy Kavalier (Stupid name. It's more like a descriptive phrase than an actual name). I think on some level he cares about the hybrids, certainly more than Kavalier does, but being more analytical than sentimental, I think the Morrow-Slightly situation interests him from a point of gaining knowledge or perhaps some position of power or leverage over his maker. I'm just waiting for his Soundwave moment: "Kirsch superior, Kavalier inferior!" 😄 Yep, but Kirsch is not telling anyone, which points to a probable agenda. And yeah, on an island that one would assume would have the absolute state of the art info security and monitoring systems in existence, created by the world's smartest douchebag, Morrow's ability to avoid detection by all but Kirsch, whose sole ability to detect it remains mysteriously unexplained, shoots a huge hole in the presumptive infallibility of said douchebag and his technological wizardry. But then again, so does psychologically unbalanced Nibs, as one would think the super-computer brain would be equipped to deal with errant thought patterns and such, but hybrids with flat affects wouldn't make for good tv, I guess. LOL. I'm enjoying the show, but it requires tabling a lot of WTF issues. It's apparently getting great reviews now, but I wonder how it'll hold up under the microscope of time.
