I finally got a chance to watch it and I thought it was great.

An overdue homage to both Enemy Mine and The Arena, feels like they really cooked with this one 🔥

I love the ending with Ortegas’ epiphany that her new reality is that one of her friends killed one of her other friends.

Other than that bizarre found-footage episode, this entire season has been fire. Somehow they’ve managed to give us more of the crew in 3 seasons than disco ever did, and I’m loving it.

I have such high hopes for the new academy show after what I’ve seen in S3, bring on the next trek golden age!

I love seeing Picards priorities on full display.

Picard walking Beverly to beam down to her lover:

You go girl!

Picard receiving Beverly's resignation:

Umm nobody leaves me. Data, find me everything you can on Ronin.

For Archer I can also imagine:

Rod Stewart's "Faith of the Heart"

Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping"

Katy Perry's "Roar"

For Janeway the only song that comes to mind is Rage's "Killing in the Name of" because fuck you she won't do what you tell her.

TNG character headcanon?

Worf is a narcissist. Reason: Kurn and Alexander were kept until no longer useful to him then discarded. #Justice4Kurn

Universe headcanon?

The Vulcans are augments and the romulans are the baseline diaspora. Reason: every time TPol was unphased by the anomaly because of her [superior] Vulcan physiology.

Sorry I’m still new here, I can’t decode this meme. One of the mods is no longer active?

Wow, feels so spiteful. It's them not you.

To be charitable to the other side, perhaps this mod is so burned out on "just asking questions" that a sincere question has become hard to recognize 🤷‍♀️

Sign me up for more Billups!

Ya that episode is great. It lurked in the back of my mind every episode afterward, always hoping to hear any sort of throwaway line about the fate of that ship.

It’s very unsatisfying.

An empire overflowing with ambitious and unscrupulous climbers who have all decided to allow young Georgiou to have the crown.

Ya let’s make the unhinged evil empire very civil and obedient so our protagonist actually back into the throne instead of actively seizing it. How convenient.

Ultimately it feels like they want to have their cake and eat it too: Georgiou is the baddest bitch, but also she was just trying to survive man! She cried when she murdered her own family, under coercion and duress!

I guess I liked her better when she was bonafide evil.

Long answer, but good answer friend.

This in particular is gold:

in this future, humanity still succumbs to the pains and pitfalls of present-day life in a way that suggests we won’t grow out of them

I thought Section 31 was some shit clinging to the bowl, but the writers keep assimilating it into the Star Trek matrix so much so that it implies the Federation of TNG is a naive facade 😔

Admiral Vance:

"It's made of our shit, you know?"

S4 when he fights Shran with such confidence and gamesmanship, that's my favorite Archer.
