  • I thought exactly that. Opened the post, upvoted this thread.

    However couldn’t not Google it, and it may be on purpose.

    evilness

    noun

    evil·​ness

    : the quality of being evil : badness

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evilness

    While it does sound better with just “evil”, I wonder if they wished to exactly convey that what is being created is the quality of being evil in some people. All in all, that goes under the umbrella of evil, sure. But if we replace “evilness” with “badness”, it no longer sounds worse than the alternative, just “inequality creates bad”. Ofc you can’t compare directly like that, I’m just trying to make the point that black civil activist haven’t historically been that bad at language use, so perhaps we’re just feeling the more colloquial version but that this may be prescriptively better, idk.

    I’m no languinolologist.










  • Yes, I think it is. But not the one where he actually does become the ECH?

    The Doctor has added a daydreaming protocol and some aliens who have an AI overlord (they can’t do anything without asking it first) manage to survey the Doctors daydreams but not the inside of Voyager, so they believe the Doctors daydreams to be real.

    I think Voyager’s more musical episodes (and Robert Picardo himself) have at least a little to do with SNW eventually getting the musical episode.
