Jettisoning the nacelles was considered in TOS' "The Apple" and "The Savage Curtain", but in both cases they never actually did it.

Another, more Olympics-related thought: keep in mind that the rink is shorter. The smaller neutral zone seems to be leading to more offside calls.

My tip for watching hockey on TV in general is to not focus too much on the puck, and focus on the bigger-picture movements of the players instead.

You'll know where the puck is, since everyone's swarming toward it, so it's more interesting to see what's going on around it, if that makes sense.

I think they're cool (but obnoxiously loud) on the slopes, and completely useless on the speed skating and luge tracks.

I think Braka and the Venari Ral are an interesting contrast to Osyraa and the Emerald Chain, which was an entirely different flavour of tyranny.

I thought about that, and concluded that the comic book probably took a lot of liberties with reality. Caleb did dismiss it as propaganda, after all.
