I had forgotten that the aircraft carrier in GI Joe was called the USS Flagg!!!
Also… unrelated, but B’elanna was awesomesauce…
Looks like it really screws with the guy’s balance. I have a hard enough time using a treadmill for a stress test.
Ironically, the one oribter not capable of spaceflight.

The Star Trek Family, a fan organization, is raising Disaster Relief Money for anyone that has been impacted by the Los Angeles fires. Families are being displaced, losing their homes and all of their personal belongings. Pets are being displaced, lost in the chaos. People are being forced to evacuate and move to safer areas. Things like food, hotels, water, clothing, disaster relief supplies, and emergency pet care are desperately needed. Compassion and monetary resources are one major way that we can come to the rescue of folks that have lost everything or are displaced from their normal lives by the raging fires in Los Angeles.
That was amazingly Filmation-tastic.
After thinking about how profoundly implausible it would be for humans hyper-evolved into salamanders to be reverted to their original bodies perfectly with all their memories intact, it made me realize something about transporters (even though, according to Memory Alpha, those weren’t involved in that process).
So, there are a few episodes where transporters have been used to store someone’s pattern for an extended period of time (like Scotty in that TNG episode), or someone has been run through the transporter to fix some problem with them by reverting them to their “default” body before the problem occurred or screening out some disease organism. Has it ever been explained why they can’t use the transporter to keep backups of crew all the time, and bring someone back to life? Like, say, you beam down a redshirt, they trip and break their neck, they’re dead… why not just beam their body back up, and revert it to the pattern stored from the last time they beamed down or something? I imagine the explanation is that there’s some key difference between living matter and dead matter that the technology can’t overcome, similar to how a replicator couldn’t make live gagh for a Klingon meal, but then again, it somehow made two living Captain Kirks from one Captain Kirk’s worth of matter that one time…
