There was not. It was typical during this time for artisans to apply generational elements to one's name - "The Younger" or "III" or somesuch - to draw distinction for his work. During this era, the arts were dominated by great families descended from the Renaissance period of artistic expansion. Moreover, the establishment of the guild system during the late middle ages limited access for independent artists who could not claim lineage.
Independent artists looking to end-run the guild system and gain legitimacy in art world would frequently move to a different kingdom where the specific noble and merchant families were less well-known or even unknown, assume a multi-generational appellation and fabricate a less-pedestrian backstory for his family. Through this process, he could achieve legitimacy and earn a living even outside of the guilds and major families. As a result of this behavior, many artists claiming to be the decedents of illustrious names were in fact the first of their names.

Independent artists looking to end-run the guild system and gain legitimacy in art world would frequently move to a different kingdom where the specific noble and merchant families were less well-known or even unknown, assume a multi-generational appellation and fabricate a less-pedestrian backstory for his family. Through this process, he could achieve legitimacy and earn a living even outside of the guilds and major families. As a result of this behavior, many artists claiming to be the decedents of illustrious names were in fact the first of their names.

If nothing else, it was dull. Though I give Skip Homeier credit for neatly suggesting the madness of Dr. Sevrin without rolling his eyes or foaming at the mouth. When Spock says, "He is insane. I have not consulted Dr. McCoy, but I have no doubt of it," that is chilling.
"Turnabout Intruder" is fun to watch Shatner, a stage-trained actor, suggest the woman inside Kirk's body. "Spock's Brain" . . . well, yeah, that one might be unsalvageable on any level.

There have to be some great solutions. Deposit 31 fancy Trillion Dollar Platinum coins in the Treasury, then pass a balanced budget law requiring taxes and fees are adjusted to produce the ZERO bottom line annually?
If you start from scratch, reform the tax laws for greater fairness and proportionality it can be done. 31T in debt is only 250k for each and every taxpayer!
Problem is, one side thinks balancing a budget never includes increasing revenues. Spending cuts are the one & only solution to everything. It's stupid, but consistent.
If we can borrow at 4%, and grow the economy at 5%, we are better off. You're looking at the cost of servicing the national debt as being wasted money, but you aren't considering the value being created each year by the things that were financed by that debt.
to spend a trillion dollars a year to serive the debt...It's taking money from things like National Healthcare.

"Miri" I have to love because of Kim Darby, and it is imaginative. If the script had made the planet a former Earth colony that had fallen silent, as in James Blish's story adaptation, it would have worked better.

There is a fairly profound problem with the math on this one. It assumes that all growth is downstream of government and that there are no downsides to increasing government economic direction. It also conflates the size of the economy with the federal budget.

It's a good point. Even if they're right about their opposition, that all we want is cuts, well, we never get cuts. We only get increases in "revenue" while spending increases faster.

Posted by: blaster at May 25, 2023 10:17 AM (pwExq)
The left claims each federal dollar spent grows the economy by more then a dollar.
IIRC the study they used to determine that ignored inflation and pretended the debt never needs to be paid back. So...based on those parameters they aren't wrong.
But the proper way to read that then is "If the government has an infinite amount of goods and service in its stash spending them will grow the economy!" which is true...

"The Government Spending Multiplier" has been obvious bullshit since it was first articulated. There is one single thing the government can do where money spent might - but only might - result in more money returned to the broader economy: net-new infrastructure that allows an unproductive area to become productive. There are only so many such areas. There is also government spending that can help defend the economy, like border control.
But government spending is also inefficient and almost always wasteful. It is a net drag, not an accelerator. Anyone talking about "The Multiplier" is a con artist.

True. But Gene Coon (writing as Lee Cronin) needed to get some important info across to the viewer, and decided it was best if Spock did it.
As for the weird false-front sets, it gives the whole episode a cold, brooding quality like a darkened stage set. Sort of like Expressionism (MP$, am I using that term right?). Better than using Bonanza's Western town set for sure.

Happening now:
Richard "Bigo" Barnett, the man who put his feet on Nancy Pelosi’s desk on 1/6, has been sentenced to 4.5 years in prison and 3 years of supervised release. Federal prosecutors were asking the judge for 7 years in federal prison. These are the same prosecutors who haven’t charged a single person in the Russian collusion hoax.
Barnett stated that he only sat in her office with his feet at the desk after request from reporters who just wanted a picture. A White House photographer captured the picture. The FBI won’t release the footage or names of undercover agents and yet the judge decided this man received a fair trial.

Sadly no. I just miss going to see the Mariners and the 2nd deck. On the other hand on 6/3 I am flying to Bellingham for boy spawn's solo classical guitar concert on 6/4. I am thinking of showing up with glow sticks and a beach ball. This concert represents 10 years of hard work. He is going to crush it. Afterwards we are going on a pub crawl.

TOS had a limited budget. Why they invented teleporting as a cheap plot device.
TV shows back then got played once, maybe twice. Ironically TOS advanced syndication and bigger budgets followed.

Cheap, but also fast -- it got us down to the planet and into the story much faster than landing a ship as in Forbidden Planet, even if they'd had the budget. As Gene Coon (the creator of the Klingons among other things) said, "Most of your production problems can be solved more cheaply and simply in the typewriter."

It's also worth remembering that Star Trek TOS was pitched as a "wagon train in space." So it's not really surprising that there would be at least one episode that's an homage to the classic western.

Again, true. They often stepped around that by saying the ship and crew were dealing with "the most advanced society" on the planet. But recall that they had only about 50-52 minutes of story time. Not much room for "diversity" (in its original 1960s sense).
It would have been neat to have two intelligent races on this week's planet, one humanoid and one not, and to see that evolution there was still going on -- and would until one race or the other was extinct. (Or both.)

A fairly cheap solution would be to film the shuttle leaving Enterprise *once* and then reuse that footage whenever you need it. Then show them on the planet exiting the shuttlecraft. However, the "transporter" solution became so iconic that you could not do Star Trek today without it. It's a key distinguishing technology between Star Trek and every other generic science fiction show out there.

“The EU is creating and financing its own advocacy and activist groups so they can artificially weigh in on EU decision-making”.
….
In a statement on the matter published on Tuesday, Commissioner Hahn admitted that the EU hands millions in funding to a wide variety of left-wing groups, with the bloc giving over €4.5 million to ‘No Peace without Justice’ — a group originating from the so-called ‘Transnational Radical Party’ — and over half-a-million to “Droit au Droit”, who profess to campaign for “marginalised groups”.
The Commission claims to have had no meetings with ‘No Peace Without Justice ‘, despite the multi-million payout.
Hahn failed to reveal how much the EU hands to the likes of Amnesty International and George Soros-Linked Open Society Foundation”

Considering the catastrophic damage both technologies could do, it's a wonder that anyone used them at all. Star Trek: The Motion Picture had a transporter accident at the beginning. Fortunately, they didn't show us what happened.

Quite true. And one or two episodes made the transporter part of the drama.

I watched my first Strar Trek episode that included a holodeck scene and I said to myself "that's it. I'm outta here."

Fine. I'll agree to 100% wealth taxes on billionaires if they can outline $1 trillion in cuts they want.

False.
The Premise, I mean.
The Feds do too much, it's not what they can collect its everything they should not be doing in the first place.
There need to be much more than budget balancing, there needs to be a reset of the republic and the Feds need to kneel at the feet of the states.
deep breath... ok, ok.. I'll wait by the door for the visit by the ATF.

He spent 3 months planning to takeover the United States .. by himself without arms.
Yeah. It's a repeat of Jan-6, except he was trying to have an insurrection of one.
I'd like to see DOJ charge him with seditious conspiracy of me, myself and I.
It's more likely they will create a protected class of "U-Haul truckers with swastikas."
