The two different versions technically address different issues, and are not necessarily contradictory. It may absolutely be the case as the theatrical version attests that “the more a Terminator has contact with humans the more they learn.” This could be the case regardless of whether their chip is set to read or read/write. That Skynet presets chips for Terminators sent out alone (presuming this context of “alone” means absent contact with Skynet) suggests a matter of IT maintenance.

The context of your first paragraph is all in relation to the current state-of-art replicant version available with all of its features and limitations versus the context of your second paragraph Dr. Tyrell’s actions are in respect to improving upon that state-of-art to create version with better features and less limitations; you can’t compare the first to the second, it’s apples-to-oranges comparison, like asking why Intel should develop its new Arc chip in 2022 when perfectly fine Timex-Sinclair 1000s are available.

The Sword Coast’s Board of Tourism approved its 2022 message to be: “Welcome to the Sword Coast where any two points on our map are just a dream away!”

The European dragons were originally Asian-Siberian dragons from the Caucasus mountains which crossed the Bering land bridge 20,000 years ago!

@RichS While not all T-800’s look alike or look different, the problem for Kyle in the original club is that they all do look like they would be regulars at the Tech Noir club in 1984 Los Angeles.

My hunch is given the trouble LFL has gone through to make Jabba the Hut fit, rather than just say it was an error, I suspect “Hut” likely originated on its end as a real name for a time. But whether that bears our or is forever obscured by mists of time is another thing. There was an approval transmittal in either Marvel’s or LFL’s file for Issue 28 that likely existed at some point.

@Valorum speaks truth, this can’t be terrible — it was a beloved movie growing up.

Are workers in 10 Forward required to be in Starfleet; or does the Enterprise allow private, commercial contract vendors not subject to Starfleet command to provide service? If yes, then Lal might be a direct report to Data, if Lal was required to be in a Starfleet org chart for her work in 10 Forward?

The Lower Decks crew loves “high warp” as its favorite mode of travel.

We have a reasonable earliest estimate; invention of bubble gum is credited as 1928 by Walter Diemer while working at a chewing gum factory. It’s likely that no quote specifically using “bubble gum” could exist prior to existence of bubble gum.

@Harabeck I suppose generational servitude might be possibility, but it was my impression that these two were intended to have served Jabba, chosen to serve Fortuna, and then Fett appeals to continue same for him. I accept possibility that Jabba may have had more than 23 guards, and these may have been guards not yet named, but what’s a rare condition that would be in face of WEG, decipher, and the other EU of the golden EU era 80s-00’s naming and detailing everything under the sun.
