Jeffrey Combs doesn’t count as an actor in Star Trek. He’s part of the lore in every Star Trek like phasers and warp drive.

And it was completely Patrick Stewart’s fault. The first two seasons were his story done his way. It’s a great example of how mastery of one skill (acting) doesn’t give mastery of other skills (writing).

(Oh and he was responsible for a lot of why Nemesis was bad. He told the writers he wanted to ride dune buggies because it would be a fun outing for the cast so made them write it into the movie.)

If you have that lying around, you can still beat a pi 5 by only buying an i5 motherboard instead of an entire pc. As to handling the bloat, it’s faster.
