        Lower Decks was the first time I’d encountered Cordero. Then I watched Loki and immediately recognized his voice. Hope to see/hear more of him; he’s great.

            I’ve heard good things. I might need to give it another shot. I was unaware Cordero was in it.

            I bounced off it after an episode or two. I struggle with that sort of awkward humor, where someone hiding the truth makes things worse (which is the vibe I got from the bit I did watch, but it’s been a while).

            That said, I’ve seen a lot of clips of later episodes, and the show is definitely funny. (The Time Knife and Jeremy Bearimy are hilarious.)

              He’s a recurring guest star, so he’s not in every episode, but every so often.

              The show definitely starts out that way, but doesn’t stay that way for long. It goes through several arcs

          If you get bored you can look up a show called Other Space. It only got 1 season because it was on Yahoo’s short-lived streaming platform, but it an interesting scifi comedy created by Paul Feig. It was the first thing that I remember Cordero standing out in, he plays the second officer. Other cast members include Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu from MST3k.

    Rutherford. No one else comes close to solving non-engineering problems like him.

    Edit: he is not the best at it. He literally does it like nobody else. All others fall into two camps: diplomat or a troubleshooter, like they approach problems with the mindset that they have to be repaired for peak performance. There is a dryness to their approach that feels comfortable to logical folks.

    Rutherford demands you dress like Twain and yell it out in a steamboat. No one does it like him.

    Why does Airiam get a cybernetic body but Pike is stuck in a beep beep chair?

      They learned to not put people into cybernetic bodies after the Airiam incident at Control HQ so they were like “sorry for ya, Chris”

        Harsh.

        At least he got to Talos IV.

        I wonder who else is stuck in a beep beep chair who didn’t get the chance to live the rest of their life in a fantasy world created by superintelligent, loving aliens with super mental powers?

          Probably very few. The overlap where the kind of injury that Trek science can’t fix and the event not outright killing the person has to be hella narrow even in Pike’s time, and it would get narrower as time went on.

      He just came from the other side. He wasn’t always cybernetic, but once that Borg queen grafted living flesh on his mechanical body he became a cyborg, as shown in the photo.

          On that image, he’s cybernetic.

          Well, at least if you don’t have a “you must be at least this much human to be a cyborg” rule.

            This guy gets me. But also the formal definition on Memory Alpha includes Data as he normally is.

            True, but it’s not indicative of his normal state. I don’t have that rule, otherwise most of the people in the pictures wouldn’t count.

      First 2 lines of the cybernetics article on Memory Alpha.

      Cybernetics was the study of hugely complex artificial intelligence systems, usually running on a positronic matrix and often housed inside robotic machine technology. A practical implementation of this was an android.
