I just took that as Spock's dry humour. He always had a very dry wit, ever since his first TOS appearances.
Stop using such complicated words that I have to go and reseach lol.
While you are researching, can you find out what an EPS conduit actually does?
Electro plasma system conduits deliver power to systems throughout the ship.
How about Self-sealing stembolts?
Not even the Chief could answer
lol. Never explaines in any part of Star Trek I think. They obviously self seal something lol.
Lol. This is Hilarous and quite good too,

Brilliant! Embedding:
Thank you. I does not work for me sometimes.
RLM Re:Viewing Voyager season one. They have a much more positive opinion than when it originally came out. It's also surprising that they haven't really seen it since its original run.
I’ve been rewatching some Voyager recently too, although I picked up around season 4, and I’d be in a similar boat to them. Largely dismissed it at the time, there might even be a handful of episodes I’ve not seen properly at all, but time has been kind to it. Particularly when comparing it to what we have today.
If anything I like it less now. Bar a few very high quality episodes it's mostly forgettable or totally laughable like with the salamanders and dinosaur people. Even in those peak mid seasons there is some awful stuff.
More than half the crew are the worst most annoying people of any Trek show outside of Discovery.
Honestly I feel even the absolute worst of Voyager, still trounces all over anything Discovery related. Some of SNW was good, I will give it that, and I hold that to account as its own show rather than a Discovery spinoff, but it started far stronger than it became...which again, is the opposite of all the proper star trek shows.
I couldn't give a sht if it trounces Discovery. A show isn't good or bad based on some other show. Why does everything have to come back to that.
The Salamanders are easily one of the worst things j have ever seen from a show I expected some sense of quality from. Voyagers holodeck episodes are mostly horrendous too.
some laughable episodes, absolutely. And the characters were a big step down from DS9 or even TNG.
But it’s the pace and the tone of the show I appreciate. There’s room to breathe. There’s a 45 minute adventure with a start, middle, and end. Sure it might be salamanders in this one, but I don’t need to even wait a week anymore - I can just skip if I feel like it and who knows what the next 45 minutes will be. I really miss that with modern Trek, even SNW, where everything is THE MOST of everything and more danger and excitement than you’ve ever seen before!! **** it, give me a salamander or a Niomi Wildman every once in a while instead.
Like it’s nowhere near the consistent quality of TNG or DS9 but those are high bars. I’m definitely finding it enjoyable in its own right.
Because they're in the same franchise, more or less exist within the same continuity, and we're comparing the relative quality. Enterprise and Voyager used to be the worst Star Treks now they're solid middle of the pack series because of all the crap released in the last few years.
It's also worth pointing out that the salamander episode may even have been dropped from continuity by Voyager itself because Tom later says he's never flown a transwarp before.
I love how it's "dropped from continuity" when people feel like it. Where is the screaming about CANON.
And no every conversation about Voyager or Enterprise needs to just actually be about how sht Discovery was and Discovery being total sht doesn't make Enterprise and Voyager better shows.
No, potentially dropped from continuity by the writers themselves. And Voyager's team retconning something they wrote is a little different from someone coming in later and doing it.
It absolutely makes them better relatively, you know, the context in which they are brought up.
And because it probably needs to be said again, Enterprise and Voyager were never outright bad just stale and samey in the context of over a decade of previous Star Trek series being on TV.
Nah Enterprise was bad and the majority thought so. It was an unpopular disliked show and I bet most of the people pretending they like it now don't ever watch it.
The cutaways to Kurtzman are hilarious
I forgot you were the arbiter of good Star Trek for a minute. Of course Enterprise is, has been, and always will be bad. But in all honesty it seems like you think most Star Trek is bad.
I am only speaking for myself. I have always like Enterprise and Voyager, even when they were the worst of the franchise, and I am sure there are post here going back to before Discovery saying as much.
And brining it back to RLM both Rich and Mike remember not being fond of Voyager but now think, season one at least, is good after their rewatch.
The sad fact is Star Trek does have more bad than good. It's really only TNG, DS9 and movies 1 to 8 I really love. VOY and SNW have some very good episodes and TOS is great when taken in the context of its time. But if I was to try rewatch all Trek I would skip a lot more than watch.
I also absolutely love Lower Decks and appreciate Prodigy but I see them as a separate thing to live action in a conversation like this.
I don't think Enterprise is bad, at all. Its biggest issue was it was formulaic and sedentary at times. Like even the greats, it took a while to bed in, and was cancelled before it should have been. Certainly wasn't a DS9 in the making, but personally don't see it as bad.
I do not see Entetprise as bad. There is some brilliant episodes in it. I enjoy watching it every now and then. I even enjoy this,
However I do not like what they done to the theme for seasons 3 and 4.
Well, except that one season 4 two parter
Probably the best MU episode after the original and maybe the first DS9 one. I like that they just went with the wackyness and didn't even have crossover characters.
AlAlthough the real best MU episodes are not actually the mirror universe but use the same idea like Yesterday's Enterprise and Living Witness.
Archers theme was vastly more suitable
TOS is great when taken in the context of its time
*record scratch* – hang on a second! The passage of time has affected your appreciation of a show?
Surely not.
No not the passage of time I think the same of it now as I always did. I do and always did accept that some things that were standard for shows then look silly now. I watched it for the first time over 20 years after it aired and factor that in.
Enterprise was sht in comparison to it's contemporaries. Sht for its time and at the time the majority of fans agreed which is why it got cancelled. Same goes for Nemesis and Discovery.
So no "record scratch" gotcha sorry.
