This was not Sith against Jedi. This was not light against dark or good against evil; it had nothing to do with duty or philosophy, religion or morals. It was Anakin against Obi-Wan. Personally. Just the two of them, and the damage they had done to each other.

Nichelle Nichols (December 28, 1932 - )

“Uhura never had another name during the series. One of the fan writers wrote “Upenda” - which means “peace” in Swahili, I understand — not officially, but in some of their fan writings. And it sort of took hold. But when they were going to do the official history of Star Trek in a published book, the writer called Gene and asked him was “Uhura” her first name or her last name? Gene said, “Well, Nichelle and I never decided.” We always leaned towards it being her last name because it’s taken from the Swahili “uhuru” which means freedom. So it would sort of be like the same as “Freeman.” So he said, “You can make it her last name.” The writer said, “What about her first name? I’ve come up with one in Swahili. It’s Nyota.” Gene said, “I can’t give you that permission because Nichelle and I named her together, and she has rights to that, so you’ll have to call her and get her permission.” So he gave him my number, and he called me and I laughed and was delighted. He said, “I have a name and it’s Nyota.” I said, “That’s quite beautiful. What does it mean?” He said, “It means ‘star’.” I said, “You can have my permission!” So I have since said that her name is Nyota Upenda Uhura, which would mean a free-floating star: “star of freedom and peace”. I like that.” — NICHELLE NICHOLS

Bruh, nothing gets me more heated than saying Jonas was the villian somehow in Meridian. Like sorry that Daniel went through all that, but aside from not speaking sooner, JONAS DID NOTHING WRONG.

"He didn't act, but Daniel did!" Daniel had years of training for that kind of thing, Jonas did not. You ever heard of the 'flight, fight, freeze, fawn response'? This is to what they are referring! They are totally natural responses to danger!! Daniel fought (acted), that other scientist fled and Jonas froze. Jonas is not a bad person for reacting naturally to danger. He was a civilian.

"He let the Kelownan government slander Daniel!" Okay but Jonas was also a very high ranking government official. He has a huge responsibility to his country and pressure to act a certain way for that government. Would I have preferred him to speak sooner, sure. But even still, it's clear that Jonas is not happy about the position his government has taken but he believes its the best thing for his country that's on the brink of war. Jack dresses him down which gives Jonas the kick he needs to spill what actually happened, but the fact is, if Jonas had no character, that talk would have achieved nothing. Jack's talk only worked because Jack sensed Jonas had that character!! Might I add, that Jonas acting had severe consequences, he was branded a traitor for simply speaking up (and also stealing the naquadria but it was mostly the speaking up that cost him).

"It's insulting that the man responsible for Daniel's death took his place on SG1!" Jonas was not responsible for Daniel's death/ascension. I'm sorry, it's just facts. Anyone with common sense knows this. And Jonas laments his tendency to not act and even considers it a character flaw (even though its a natural response!!) but still overcomes it, by doing what? Saving SG1's lives. That's how he earns his place on SG1. He didn't simply replace Daniel.

Like Jonas or not, I don't care, but Jonas is NOT a bad person because of the events of Meridian.

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model. Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites. Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions. Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers. Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.” “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.
