It's been a bit since I saw the original behind the scenes vid or whatever it was, what was the context?

I think the silent protagonist choice is valid in more of "sandbox" story like BG3. Speaking for myself, voiced protagonists tend to "lock" me into a specific role. I absolutely love the voice acting for Geralt of Rivia but when I play a witcher game I'm not inserting myself into the game, I'm becoming Geralt and making choices based on how I believe Geralt would make them.

Oh wow, that sounds highly inconvenient. I wish it was as easy to re-flash android TVs as it is to re-flash android phones. Best of luck, and keep us updated if you find a solution!

I've never used the tuner/TV part of my sony x900f, only HDMI inputs and apps. Is google pushing ads to live tv now?

Broadcasting your own theme song while jetting around the galaxy in the flagship of the Federation is possibly the biggest Riker move I've ever seen hahahaha.

lol I was gonna try and continue the joke but i went to look up the lyrics and this amused the shit out of me. It's apparently more popularly known as "that song from star trek enterprise" than as a rod stewart song!

Oh, right, the Orions. For sure Gene put quite a bit of his prejudices into the races, which then got amplified by early Trek writers' tendency towards mono-cultures, and I think all of Star Trek has had trouble trying to figure out how to fix it. Enterprise decided to just lean into the stereotypes hard though for some reason. The Ferengi were an anti-semetic caricature in TNG until the DS9 writers worked to expand their culture on screen and move away from some of Gene's more troubling stereotypes. Hell, they had an entire arc where Rom and Leela worked to literally dismantle the existing Ferengi culture into something more aligned with Starfleet ideals. It took until Lower Decks, a 30-some odd minute cartoon, for them to do something similar with the Orions. So I guess the point of this ramble is that, while nothing is gonna change these old episodes, if you wanna see some positive progress for the Orions I would highly recommend watching LD if you haven't already!
