Although Wesley’s acceptance occurred only months after Wolf 359 - it’s possible that event caused Starfleet to more easily accept cadets (including Wesley), and just happened to benefit Nog’s chances.

The Dominion tensions around the time of Nog’s admission may have also put Starfleet on edge and caused them to continue Wolf 359 era admission policies.

The "Harry Kim" thing was mostly just a joke. I guess the more literal phrasing of my question is how did someone, over less than three years, go from seemingly severely inadequate education to being accepted into Starfleet Academy and becoming an effective officer.

I've always wondered what the proper Klingon translation of "Experience bIj" is.

The best I can come with, with my crappy understanding of Klingon and The Klingon Dictionary at my side is "bIj yIbech" ("Suffer bIj!"), but there is probably something horribly wrong with that translation. Even if nothing was grammatically wrong with it, it could be an overly literal translation.

And this is why for the most part, I'll never run a browser extension that isn't FOSS. Certainly a perfect defense, but combined with just trying to use as few extensions as possible, it has worked for me.

I also get the feeling that Firefox usage per capita is higher around the fediverse - I certainly use it.

I mean, I’m pretty sure it says at the end of the episode the Doctor decided to try and find what ended up happening to Voyager after he set the record straight.

Actually, the fact Boimler has one suggests they made an iteration for the early 2380s uniform, meaning they kept making them for a while.

What I meant is technically, in the time frame of Academy, assuming we can take their word that this is the "normal" Doctor, the VOY:Living Witness Doctor should still be alive as well.

Depending on how you count it, both will be the same age. It would be incredibly funny if both versions of the Doctor met.

Both of them.

Actually, imagine a William Boimler moment between Alpha Quadrant Doctor and Delta Copy Doctor.

A good one. I’ve also made an attempt before with this during the Patrick Starship Enterprise fiasco/masterpiece: Mariner reassures Quimp, " Don't worry! You'll have another Star Trek performance!" Quimp asks, confidently, "It'll be reprising Quimp for Lower Decks Season 5, right?" Mariner then proceeds to drink a shot. Quimp then morphs into Spongebob Squarepents and, less self-assured this time, asks, "It'll be reprising Quimp for Lower Decks Season 5, right?"

I should do one without SpongeQuimp, though.

I posted this one a while back:

Who would win: The entire galactic ccommunt vs. 31st century equivalent of an iPad baby.

Despite that, I think there were some interesting things about that season, and despite the oddness that was that plot, Saru and iPad baby was somehow still enjoyable.

I just feel like they squandered their interesting new setting with season 4 (granted, I haven't finished season 4); there were so many plots that could have sprung organically from the fall of the Emerald Chain and the rebuilding of the Federation, but no, we have to make up this stupid DMA as a big bad again, and we have to do another plot about dealing with grief.

Heck, we could have kept the DMA and still blown up Booker's homeworld, but let his family live and instead have written a story about living in diasporas, rather than beating the dead horse that is DISCO's take on individual grief.

I think is is more a c/Risa thing.

Now the big question is how do you say, “Rampant cultural appropriation/misrepresentation is Star Trek: Voyager”? 🤣
