Wow. OK, that was a great final episode.
They wrapped everything up. Completed all the arcs. Gave everyone an ending, if not necessarily a happy one. And we get hints about all of their future trajectories.

I worry about Garak, though. He didn’t look happy to be back on Cardassia Prime.

Yay! Morn’s still there. :)
December 4, 2025 at 4:24 AM
He’s… not dead?
“Maybe a year.” OK. That’s not so bad.
Hm. The Lower Decks episode takes place more than a year later, didn’t it? I don’t remember them mentioning Sisko. I’ll have to rewatch it after this.
December 4, 2025 at 4:14 AM
And… now she’s dead.
And… so is Sisko. :(

This is a lot to be happening in the last 20 minutes of the entire series!
December 4, 2025 at 4:10 AM
Oh, hey, and he’s Cardassian again.
December 4, 2025 at 4:06 AM
Oh, yeah, the Pah Wraiths. I forgot about them.

And… Dukat’s better.

And… Sisko’s off.

He’s not coming back from this, is he?

Minsk? Is that where Worf is from?
December 4, 2025 at 3:56 AM
Sisko made it too! Yay!
December 4, 2025 at 3:54 AM
Spoiler: They both lived!
I did not see that coming. I don't remember if either of them were in the Lower Decks episode.
I knew Worf survived. He's in Picard. :)
December 4, 2025 at 3:52 AM
But yeah, as a character, she’s amazing.
December 4, 2025 at 3:33 AM
And she just killed Gul Dukat. Saw that coming. :)
December 4, 2025 at 3:32 AM
“Oh, he’ll survive. But he’ll wish he didn’t.”
Oh, Gul Dukat, I’m almost positive *you’re* going to die in this episode.

I bet Kai Winn survives, though.

"Promise me you'll come back."
"I promise."
Oh no! Sisko's going to die, too??

Also, nickel seems great until you take into account the trace amounts of iron in the upper atmosphere, which will act as a catalyst and quickly break it down. [4/4]

materials will break down at higher temperatures, such as lead, which is normally resistant but at Venus' atmospheric temperatures will dissolve and form bismuth which actually forms the shiny metal snow in Venusian winters. [3/4]

not only was Venus' atmosphere made of (aside from carbon monoxide and nitrogen, a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid.) Then, I had to figure out what materials wouldn't dissolve in it (mostly certain tantalum allows and polymers.) A fascinating process really, as many acid-resistant [2/4]
