Enterprise all the way.

It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.

Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.

Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.

Highlights include:

  • Captain Archer feuding with Duras
  • Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
  • Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
  • Grapplers!

Low points include:

  • Decontamination
  • Archer/Tpol tension
  • Cogenitor episode
  • The finale

And in future news 😉

“On my last week [working on Discovery], I approved the Starfleet uniforms, which they tossed out, and rejected the Klingons, which they kept.” Notably, both the Discovery uniforms and the Klingons from that era proved to be controversial with fans

That's the big what-if for me out of this article: what if disco had klingons that didn't become radioactive to so much of the audience?

The whole klingon war felt like it happened in a single episode or two and I wonder how much of that was them concluding they made an ugly-sonic and tossing it.

Maybe we would have seen more Ash Tyler and less Book, who knows 🤷‍♀️

They had me for a hot second because I saw Into The Breach on the app store 🤩

But you can't even run the game without logging in to a Netflix account 🤮

I mean I had one, but fuck that noise I'm not cosigning on that bullshit 😤

The original ending was a very “that’s it?” moment.

The actually added a new game-over condition, by allowing you to just shoot the annoying reaper child, to quell the frustrations people felt.

Even in the remaster is still feels like a choice between red, blue, or green color endings.

RIP Marauder Shields, the true final boss of ME3 🙏

They calling me: I sleep (it goes to sms because I never setup voicemail)

I must call them: Real shit

Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadran

Ok not bad, Acapulco is a funny show about working in a resort so I can sorta imagine it in space. Not as sure about the Punkd angle, but I’m remaining optimistic.

They left out Enterprise!

Do you hear the cry of the rope calling you to jump, calling you to glory like a Klingon?

Starfleet going around to other worlds to fix and moralize about other peoples’ problems, but never needing to self-reflect or improve on themselves.

There are a few PTSD episodes that at least try : Picard at the chateau and Archer on shore leave after the Xindi adventure.

I feel these are the best episodes where a character realizes they have changed and not for the better, but I wish there were more.

Maybe trek is sleeping on the post-adventure recontextualization power of a shore leave coda?

I appreciate your thoughtful take. Maybe these are unavoidable contradictions when the simple premise of evil twins is stretched too far.

We live in a world that has ~~walls~~ federation worlds, and those federation worlds have to be guarded.

Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Barclay?
