Lol now that you mention it, yes that is quite silly.

You know, I kind of like that. It’s a little touch of the rules of the ST universe being just a little bit different, and it sheds light on how something like the Romulan supernova can be so devastating.

Subspace, y’all.

Yeah…Star Trek has never been particularly good at one-off romance episodes, and this is certainly one of those.

For me, Gideon Seyetik is by far the most memorable part of the episode - Richard Kiley nails his particular brand of annoying charisma.

The episode also has Dax asking O’Brien to boost the top speed of Seyetik’s ship to warp 9.5 to avoid a potential supernova, a prominent example of Star Trek supernovae being apparently able to travel faster than light. So there’s that.

Alternatively, how about now?

Yeah, it looks like you’re right.

It seems to work for me - it switches all replies to appear as top-level comments, and sorts everything by “Old.”
