> [@wolfpup](#): > > Octo constantly references the alleged “hive mind” of the SDMB, while in turn, “the hive” posts recipes for calamari. I went from reading this post to skimming through the title in the forum’s “latest” feed. For a moment, I could have sworn I read: **How long and vivid can you keep an image in your hive mind?** …and thought “Oh noes! You said the quiet part loud!” The thread title was actually “How long and vivid can you keep an image in your mind?” Close call, right? Someone almost gave Octo et al rock solid proof that our thoughts have been connected since Operation Tentacle went active last fall. And it’s kind of ironic they called it that, right? I doubt old George even knows Octo exists. Okay, well he obviously knows now seeing as he can finally harvest our thoughts directly, but I mean back when he threw his many billions into creating the infrastructure and came up with the project’s name over pizza and a game of ping pong he didn’t. …_or did he?_ ---

What I don’t get, re: the Captain Kirk who is “dead,” is the whole thing with the Nexus. Like, did anything in that happen in reality? Isn’t it just the naturalistic equivalent of a holodeck? So forget about whether Kirk is dead, that’s easy enough to imagine given the holodeck, too, could be fatal if safety settings were overridden/off. No, what I want to know is, did anything after Picard entered the Nexus really happen? Or is it like everything in Star Trek after that point—including the Kelvin timeline, as the destruction of Romulus came later—is really just Picard’s extended fantasy? Help? ---
