Ahh gotcha thanks for explaining, I’m sure I saw their posts in my feed then.
Fare thee well internet stranger 🍻
Yes, we see TPol reading the new rediscovered teachings of Surak, demonstrating the spread in new ideas
We also see the Vulcan ambassador standup for being a “deviant” and ultimately prevail, demonstrating a shift in attitudes.
The Vulcan arc was one of the most strangely satisfying because:
- It begins strong in the first 5 episodes or so (until Trip gives Tpol pecan pie)
- Goes into the back burner for 2.5 seasons, except for random jabs at the Vulcan High Command
- Goes into overdrive in S4 and shows us how these Vulcans become the ones we’ve come to know.
We know Riker plays for keeps; Quark owes him platinum and tried to foist gift cards on him for payment.
We know the TNG poker games would also raise the stakes; Crusher challenges Riker, LaForge, and Worf to bet shaving their beards that one time.
We know that gambling lingo is still commonplace, even though Mariner doesnt know other slang from our era (eg what a pinup poster is)
I want to say that gambling never left and it makes me realize we're sorely missing a proper heist episode. With Quark 👌
Edit: I am mistaken, I forgot about Moogie
I have no idea, but I hope so haha
I like to think of Mirror Chakotay like, with giant eagles' wings and singin' lead vocals for photonic Lynyrd Skynyrd with like a Maquis band.
The ending was perfect!
Thanks for a much appreciated dose of whimsy to start my day 👍
Ya I’ll have some of that please.
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.
I appreciate your thoughtful take. Maybe these are unavoidable contradictions when the simple premise of evil twins is stretched too far.
What do we usually call the method of killing people to send a political message?
“we” is carrying a lot of weight because one man’s ‘terrorist’ is another man’s ‘freedom fighter’
Let's go further, since they already lie about the number of symbionts.
The TSC would take an inspired approach and seek to discover the cloning process so they can scale symbionts to the entire population, and thus finally end the conspiracy.
You get a symbiont, and you get a symbiont, everyone gets a symbiont!
