That was a great read, thanks.

Kinda surreal to read about disco without also reading about disappointment.

Wildest part is how good it sounded at the time:

"Things are at a fever pitch right now, I believe we can all agree. The devastation, the oppression, the genocide, the division around the world, I think it has reached a fever pitch, and I absolutely think that it's causing people to lose hope in a lot of ways," she says. "So yes, I think people are looking for something to hold onto, they're reaching and grasping for glimmers wherever they may find them. It's why I feel so honoured and blessed to be a storyteller, number one, and to be telling this story, because I believe it speaks to that. I believe seeing this utopian future, even with its challenges, is incredibly, incredibly hopeful and inspiring."

Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence? by MalikMuaddibSoong in c/startrek@startrek.website

Archer did nothing wrong

As an Archer fan… bwahaha. He knew it was wrong, there’s too much dialog around suspending moral codes and the like.

Eg one of my fave episodes Harbinger:

PHLOX: Captain, this man is dying a painful death. To keep him conscious is unethical.

ARCHER: Until I get the answers I need, we're going to have to bend a few ethics.

PHLOX: Very well, I'll do what I can.

Came here to mention La Sirena from Picard.

Hologram bridge crew with fully hologram passenger quarters, the introverts starship par excellence 👌

"Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience? by MalikMuaddibSoong in c/startrek@startrek.website

There is this thing we need to find that thing. An entire season about finding that thing.

Ah yes, the season-sized adventure that feels like a bunch of yak-shaving fetch-quests in an rpg.

we must find the progenitor macguffin, but first we must find the treasure map, but first...

If we look for it we probably see this pattern is common across many trek episodes, but across a season they managed to do it in such a way that feels very obvious and hard to miss.

Bottom one looks like Enterprise D with no neck or arms.

Hmm I wonder if it came with the emergency saucer sep package?

Gowron delivers every single time 👌 by MalikMuaddibSoong in c/risa@startrek.website

He pulls back an entire fleet after Worf quotes ~~Kaylee’s~~ Kahless to him, which I felt demonstrated how Gowron deep down values honor.

After that though he decides to give Martok the Flavius Aetius treatment, despite how slimy it is.

Edit: kahless

Edit 2: forgot to agree with you! Ultimately he’s very cartoonish because he goes so hard with his lines and stares. Especially when he threatens to paint the future with blood if the council supports Duras’ heir.
