Understandable, but he’d already passed by the time of that episode. The proverbial torch had been passed between sticky hands.

A common misconception today is that Atlas was forced to hold the Earth on his shoulders, but Classical art shows Atlas holding the celestial spheres, not the terrestrial globe; the solidity of the marble globe borne by the Farnese Atlas may have aided the conflation, reinforced in the 16th century by the developing usage of atlas to describe a corpus of terrestrial maps.

I’m aware, but there’s nothing I can do about people’s misunderstanding of ancient mythology in the fictional 24th century (or 20th century writers for that matter).

There’s some fun moments, though, like Worf in Ten Forward or Riker’s “I’ll be in holodeck 3 if anyone needs me.”

Where I differ is DISCO for Discovery and ACA which they still fully spell out as Academy.

What indeed?

Well put.

That was his look for his last role, oddly enough.

From the very first scene in the original pilot, no less.

That they managed to cast someone so similarly chiseled for modern Pike is ridiculous.

That’s fair. His smokey voice is where he shines best.

That they had him still rocking clothes with asymmetrical patterns is the icing on the cake.

Are these Bajorans in danger?
