Hi, Charleston! This is kind of a long shot, but I wanted to see if anyone can help me locate a restaurant I went to while on a family vacation in the Charleston area a little over 20 years ago.

Here's the only thing I really remember about the restaurant: they had pictures on the wall from when they catered the production of Major League 3: Back to the Minors which had filmed in the area. There were pictures with Scott Bakula posing with his arms around what I assume were the restaurant owners. IMDb says the movie was filmed August 1997, so I probably went to this place in the summer of 1998.

If I had to guess, I'd say this was a BBQ place but I'm not certain at this point. I checked th

For just a moment as the camera moves in, a vertical element in Rios' holographic display passes right through the gap in Jean-Luc's jacket, very nearly aligning with the layout of his red TNG era uniform.

Here it is in motion: https://youtu.be/eg7WcQ3VD9g?t=11

I have to think it was deliberate since they kind of move Rios' display wherever they want, and it happens right after Picard says "Engage" and the TNG theme is playing.

I noticed it thanks to this post where OP added new music over the credits.

It's been my personal favorite Voyager episode ever since the first time I saw it.

One little detail I never noticed until I made this was how they built the telescope into the base of the castle tower from the previous era.

I also noticed it looks like the planet has a moon somewhere as there are shadows being cast at night. No moon is mentioned anywhere in the dialogue. If the moon has similar orbital characteristics to our own, requiring around 28 days to complete an orbit, then at 1 day per 1.03 seconds of time outside their planet it would take around 6,435 years for the moon to complete a single orbit from their perspective. I wonder how long it took them

I recently rewatched "A Matter of Time" and I've been wondering why this character appeared before the Enterprise at the moment he did.

If we believe what he told Data, we know that he stole the timepod from someone who had traveled back from the 26th century, presumably named Berlinghoff Rasmussen. I assume he took the 26th century person's name otherwise a search of the Enterprise's computers would have revealed that he was in fact from the past.

Inside the pod, he tells Data that it took him weeks to figure out how the craft worked. With some level understanding, then, he took the pod to 2368, appearing near Penthara IV just as the Enterprise was passing by.

Was this completely by acci

Just rewatched this episode. It is most notable for establishing the Trill in a way that is contrary to the way they are portrayed in DS9.

For those unfamiliar with the episode, Beverly falls in love with a joined Trill named Odan who, due to an unprovoked shuttle attack, must abandon his host (whom Beverly came to know and love) and join temporarily with the body of William Riker, who volunteers willingly so that Odan may survive.

This episode is not often discussed outside of the Trill connection. I feel that it suffers retroactively from the vitriol that we all exhibit for "Sub Rosa," a notoriously bad episode which also features Beverly Crusher's romantic exploits with unattainable m

I recently had a thought about Arnold's line in the gun shop scene where he asks for a "phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range." For a long time, I thought it was just kind of a joke since he's from the future, but I think there was actually a reason behind it.

In the scene, Arnold can see each gun before he asks for it. He asks for the 12-gauge auto loader shotgun, and a .45 pistol with laser sight. He asks for his plasma rifle and the owner's response is "Hey, just what ya see, pal." He asks for an Uzi for good measure, then loads the shotgun and shoots the owner.

Why would he ask for a gun that hadn't been invented yet? We know from Kyle that Skynet's records are incomplete which

I have an Oculus Rift CV1 and bought vorpX a few months ago but only messed around with the program a little bit, opting to play more dedicated VR experiences.

Yesterday on a whim, I thought about how a dedicated VR spectator mode for Battlefield games would be amazing, and it got me wondering if I could jury rig up something passable since I doubt it would be a priority for DICE (understandable).

It was surprisingly easy, I just downloaded an existing BF1 profile via the vorpX client and jumped into the game after setting my graphics settings for a much lower resolution than my standard display.

It isn't perfect, but for a long time fan of the Battlefield series like me, it was almost a

Much has been said over the years about how the Wachowskis originally intended that the purpose of the Matrix as described in the first film was to use the human brains attached to it as processors but this was deemed by the studio to be too confusing for a general audience so it was changed to using humans as a power source.

This has never really made sense, and even the film's dialogue mentions that it is "combined with a form of fusion," a very hand-wavey line that is supposed to make this concept at least somewhat plausible. Why isn't this "form of fusion" sufficient to power the machines by itself?

The humans-as-processors idea is easier to accept, though there are again some gaps in

It appears to me that both conflicts had a strong impact on humanity's view of itself and first contact with the Vulcans in 2063. The Vulcans provided a shining beacon of hope at a critical moment to a ravaged humanity, allowing them to believe that they too could overcome their instincts and, well, live long and prosper like their newfound allies.

If, however, Earth had not experienced those wars and continued on as our world is now, how different would the impact be on Earth's role as mediator and peacekeeper and, later, founding member of the Federation?

Let's say someone travels back in time from the Prime timeline and changes events so that both wars don't happen, believing it will h
