they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf

Anyone who wants to spool up an alt on a defederated server is welcome to do so. We suck at totalitarianism.

I just want to see Janeway’s plan. She has no plan!

When it comes to the overlapping shows, it might be better to frame things around events rather than series. Like, Dominion War, Romulan Evacuation, etc. But then, there are still some gaps in there, or unrelated adventures that aren’t really defined by those major events.

The concept of a Starfleet magazine is super interesting - I wonder what it takes for information to get cleared for publication.

That’s one way to spin it, but another is that they’re elevating a particular Orion house back into prominence immediately after they were stripped of their wealth by their government, which should most certainly be considered interfering with internal affairs, no?

Nah, the PD also prevents Starfleet from, say, rigging a Romulan election.

That’s because the so-called “fixed election date” leglisation only circumvents the 5-year limit laid out in the consitution. The federal and provincial Crown representatives retain the ability to call a general election - I don’t think that can be changed without an amendment to the constitution, which ain’t gonna happen.

It’s always been smoke and mirrors.

Honestly, I’m not surprised. I’m not sure this is a “bike path neglect” issue - bridges are expensive.

…I don’t get it.

Considering the overall response to the Chibnall era, the reception of the Fugitive Doctor is truly heartwarming.

I think the remastered version is pretty much the default that’s available on Paramount+ or any other platform that has the license.

It didn’t cross my mind, but that would certainly be a treat. I can’t recall off the top of my head exactly how the timelines line up.

Yeah, to make the most obvious parallel, I don’t think it would have been cool for Picard to have taken steps to boost the House of Mogh’s status within the Klingon Empire, in the name of diplomacy or otherwise.

And to be clear, I don’t think any of this is a particularly big deal.

The Prime Directive forbids interference with the internal affairs of any society.

I hate to bring this up, but giving all the treasure to Tendi’s family is pretty definitely a Prime Directive violation.

I found a small amount of info on Memory Alpha, but surely there’s more out there somewhere:

Most of the wanted posters seen on Deep Space Nine were make-up continuity photos provided by the make-up department from actors who previously appeared in a Star Trek episode such as Jeffrey Hayenga, Frank Collison, and Norman Large.

they missed the classic Lower Decks balance of seriousness and humor on the A plot and played it slightly too straight in a way that made it seem too much like a run-of-the mill multiverse episode.

Yeah…it feels somewhat intentional, as showing alternate versions of the characters that really weren’t that different was kind of the point, but that’s not exactly a comedy latinum mine.

In the Mike McMahan interview TrekMovie ran yesterday, he said they knew it was going to be the final season fairly early in the writing process, so you could be on to something.

But also the way the show ends, while it does feel final, it also blooms into all these other opportunities that we could either make shows, or we could do comics or write books, or fans could just very fully imagine that these characters are still doing awesome Star Trek stuff, and it’s different. We end with them in a different place, but there’s no betrayals. Nobody’s gonna feel like we pulled the rug out from under them.

They’re still going to kill Trip Tucker though, right?
