With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so didnt think much of it.

Take another look, upside down.

It was nice to see them subvert the typical “the entire quadrant/galaxy/universe is at stake” trope.

The US is cheap. We even famously have large gaps between the door/stall panels. I can only imagine it is to accommodate temperature/humidity changes so that they don’t jam.

Nicer places sometimes have actual deadbolt locks connected to a vacant/occupied indicator on the exterior. But it is rare. Usually it’s just a gapped stall with a sliding lock that will often not even line up correctly without wiggling the door.

In some instances I have had to use my gym key fob in place of the missing sliding mechanism to secure the door.

The Unsinkable Molly Brown is still the best Titanic movie.

And Ben-Hur (1959) is still the best Jesus movie.

“Is that the one with Jesus?”

“Well, he’s in it, but it’s not really about him.”

When I first watched that movie, I was very much BuT iN tHe BoOk ShE LoOkEd LiKe…

But looking back, they made the right call to change the character’s appearance. Having her look Legally Barbie truly made her that much more insidious.

The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland.

Edit to add: Bert literally stops the movie at one point to fourth-wall how hopeless everything looks. Ernie reassures him by asking what kind of movie would have a sad ending. Bert immediately replies Titanic.

Usually if I lose it’s because I chose to participate. Sometimes the only winning move is not to play.

Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

How did Sisko and company play a baseball game in one of Quark's holosuites?

In “Take Me Out to the Holosuite”, captains Sisko and Solok form teams of their own crewmen and play a baseball game in one of Quark’s holosuites. Unlike most Holosuite programs, the real people involved are extremely spread out, with Rom (in the stands behind home plate) and Dax (climbing the center field fence) at least...

From Prodigy 1x17 Ghost in the Machine (go to 06:15):

Gwyn: “If we’re all stuck in one room, how is Zero all the way over there?”

Rok-Tahk: “Motion floor tracking, visual horizon manipulation. The Holodeck tricks the mind to create any scenario!”

Could have sworn there was a visual in the episode as well, but I can’t find it.
