He replaced his chair with an exercise ball.

Michael Dell charting again is the most hilarious part.

“Lettuce leaf?”

Exactly. Not an alternate universe, just a branch timeline from the point the Enterprise-C was suppose to be destroyed.

So the altered timeline had been departing from the Prime timeline in meaningful ways for about 30 years at the point of the alternate events of Yesterday’s Enterprise. Before Tasha and her sister were born. Their lives could have played out very similarly, or they could have been completely different. That’s why I wanted to hear what other people thought.

The whole out of universe production explanation is good. Like how some things in the Original Series went past warp 10 because the showrunners were still figuring out what Warp was and how to represent it.

I think that even though it was believed from a production standpoint that she would be the same woman, just not killed by Armus, she still gave a slightly altered performance. I don’t know how much of that was her just getting back into the character, or being told to act ‘darker and more serious,’ or if she deliberately chose to set this timeline’s Yar apart. Crosby’s definitely someone who can act with that nuance because Sela is portrayed as a unique character and not simply a Romulan Tasha.

Abandoned? There’s someone right there. :P

Was Tasha Yar of the alternate timeline, where the Federation was at war with the Klingons, from a failed colony like Prime Yar was?

Would the Federation have even put that colony out there without a peace treaty? Or would it have been evacuated prior to failure due to Klingon raids?

I ask because Yar in Yesterday’s Enterprise always felt different to me. She seems wiser and more self-confident. Not like someone who endured the trauma of spending her early life running from gangs. Her attitude and posture was more strict and straight arrow. It made her seem like a military brat, someone who spent longer around in and around Starfleet.

The Prime Enterprise crew kept saying Sela’s mother was ‘their Tasha Yar’ but what if it wasn’t? What if her mother was a much different person than the the Yar they knew?

They play a lot of Rolling Stones.

Apple Music started insinuating I was gay through playlist names recommended to me because I listened to a lot of dance music and techno.

I sent them a letter asking about it and never saw them again.

The Craigslist definition of “working” is a lot older than previously thought.

Paris, you dog salamander.

“Did you submit a ticket?”

Ships and planes went from magnetic compasses to GPS?

The Bermuda Triangle a geological phenomenon, there’s a lot of ferrous ore close to the surface and that fucks with magnets and radio signals. But equipment went digital, started using satellites, and is generally more powerful and better shielded now. So I’m assuming it’s less of a problem enough to tough through it, or just no longer a problem at all.

Extra skin gang.

So… they existed prior to the war?

WWI started with whatever already existed at the time. Ornate helmets and uniforms, bicycles, horses… the machine guns and tanks came later.
