This episode fucking sold me on Hemmer. Dude’s so hardcore, he could’ve just found a random desk lamp like anyone else, but _nooooo_, he had to transport a fuckin _lump of molten rock_ onto the ship so he could bask in its warmth lmfao

[@oahuhawaii2141]

That puts to shame Woody Allen's character in "Sleeper" getting high using a giant sphere.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Una just revealed her true identity as Mystique from "X-Men" 😉

Amazon woman.

Tell that to Trump 😂😂😂😂...

I bet she could break open coconuts with her thighs.

OK, she picked up Hemer like he is a shopping bag.

Plataforma twist: Andorians are very light.

That's how you can tell it's science fiction. IRL she'd have a groin pull unless she was some roid using body builder.

[@CovenantD]

They would have to shut down any heat sources as well since infrared radiation is a form of light.

[@veggiet2009]

Unless the infection prefers certain wave-lengths in the visible spectrum

[@Bear-form]

Basically the entire EM spectrum.

[@petrameyer1121]

That is wrong as they spoke about light, not radiation per see. As you can see nobody was trying to get warmer, they wanted bright LIGHT. Light is the part of the spectrum we can perceive with our eyes.

[@bipolarminddroppings]

@@petrameyer1121 light is all the EM spectrum. VISIBLE light is the part we can see, but it's all light.

[@petrameyer1121]

@@bipolarminddroppings No it is not! "Light, electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation occurs over an extensive range of wavelengths, from gamma rays with wavelengths less than 1 × 10−11 meters to radio waves measured in meters. Within that broad spectrum, the wavelengths visible to humans occupy a very narrow band, from about 700 nanometres (nm; billionths of a meter) for red light down to about 400 nm for violet light. The spectral regions adjacent to the visible band are often referred to as light, infrared at one end, and ultraviolet at the other."

The dummy she was carrying weighed like nothing!

It is an Dummy Doll, yes

[@Cdr2002]

Yes, that’s how practical effects work. They would have used a dummy if it was a male character carrying someone to.

[@gm2407]

I remember Arnold saying they wanted him to pick someone up single handed and dangle him by the leg for a shot and he said "I can't do that. It is not the same thing as weight lifting, weights are balanced, people are not, both the lifter and lifted could get hurt." Or words to that effect as I cant remember the exact quote. I think this was for Commando.

She is an augment. The original series touched on it, as well as a few comics of that time, but to see her using her abilities, she is perfect. Check the early comics to see wh as t happens to its not good.

[@pigpig252]

love that you can access classified files by just saying "override"

[@cmj0929]

If you have clearance you can, as a commander she probably would have at least the equivalent of a secret if not Top secret clearance

[@Foxtrop13]

@@cmj0929 if she has clearance, then is not classified to her, and she shouldnt need to override

[@camerondorsett3590]

@@Foxtrop13 I mean even if she has clearance, she still needs to know if stuff is classified so she doesn't accidentally share it or access it in unsecured locations. There's plenty of things around today that give similar prompts that you have to say yes or no to. Or when you delete hit the delete button on something on your computer, it will prompt you to ask if your sure you want to do that.'

[@cmj0929]

@@Foxtrop13 it may be just saying “classified” to warn her not to open it up in front of people that don’t have proper clearance, to maybe give her a chance to make sure the room is clear or something like that

Illyrians human, great movie

[@J.Wolf90]

Does this explain the vulcan eyebrows?

[@kingbeauregard]

Let me put some ideas together. We know that Illyrians are extremely close to human. We also know that Gary Seven is a human whose ancestors were taken from earth long ago, and Gary is in roughly perfect physical shape. So my guess is, the Illyrians are the culture of humans that Gary Seven's bosses work with.

[@src6339]

Did they cut out somthing else in that episode and have to pad out all the remaining run time on that shot? It just seems like a long time to linger on a basic shot like that which also doesnt really add anything. 🤔

[@puntabachata]

They were part of the first members of the Federation. NX-Enterprise was the first human ship they ever encountered.

[@kevinslater4126]

The idea that Una isn't human is an error or needs some explanation. Why the Talosians wanted her when they specifically wanted to create a human zoo. The Talosians would never have been fooled by genetic engineering. We need some sort of explanation.

[@NatashaEstrada]

She's been genetically engineered to BE human. A more perfect one at that.

[@James.G.Ireland]

Just playing a human

[@admiralbob77]

It isn't original to STTNW. Dorothy Fontana came up with the idea Una was Illyrian in a 1980s novel, and Strange New Worlds stuck with that idea.

@@kevinslater4126 The Talosians are skilled illusionists, but they're not Gods. Why would they have any reason to think she wasn't human? Even Dr .M'Benga (and presumably Dr. Boyce before him) did not even know that.

📚🧐💬at the End of the Day...even the ancient Greeks, reluctantly had to admit ....That the Illyrians were fully Human ..Greeks may have considered ancient Albanians "barbarians", but still ..definitively human.... However as to the Thracians...🙄well...not so much ???

[@LilBriskoTV_]

The Greeks were Albanians(Illyrians) as well but moved South. The term “Greek” didn’t exist.The Dorians were an Illyrian tribe that moved South and mixed with Pelasgian tribes like Ionians , Achaeans , Aeolians etc. From the Dorians then later came the famous Spartan warriors. In ancient times Albanians and Greeks were the same. First they were called Pelasgians then Illyrians. Dorians originate from the region of Epirus which ancient historians referred the inhabitants of Epirus as Barbarians. They were all Barbarians first then all became Romans and became Catholic. Illyrians(Albanians) - Roman emperors are actually the ones to bring Christianity to Europe. History goes deeper than what’s told so far. After the Ottoman invasions many became Muslim by force. After the wars were over some went back to Christianity , while others remained Muslim, because religion does not define anybody.

[@anarchorepublican2.015]

​@@LilBriskoTV_ ...I think you missed my little joke...having said that... ancient "Greek speakers" were not a racial-ethnic monoculture, nor are they to this day ( Epriotes vs Asian Pontics vs Italian Grikos vs Bulgarian Sarakatsani vs Konstantinpolians vs Maniots..etc)...Ancient invading Dorian Greeks from the North certainly considered themselves separate (and superior) to the indigenous Peloponnesians they conquered...in later accounts they are described as taller and blonder than their southern rivals..but more significant, all these migrations took place during a long "dark age" (circa 1200 BC)...where very little was recorded and very little known can be known with any precision ...Millennia later both Macedonian and Byzantine Empires "hellenized" much of Thrace, southern Albania and southern former Yugoslavia... Yet ancient Illyrians spoke (and modern Albanians still speak) a very ancient language entirely unrelated to any form Greek...Whereas Southern Albanians or "Arvanites" speak a mixed Greek dialect, having been "hellenized" in recent modern times.... so nope...Illyrians were not Dorians ....they just may have occupied some of the same pieces of ground ...but long Millennia apart...

Rebecca Romijn has two things that slightly edge out the late, great Majel Barrett-Roddenberry: she does have more in the boob department. Majel was certainly no slouch in that department herself.
