It's because of the uniform design. It's blue, not red

    I never quite noticed that before, but honestly, that's probably part of the reason I like the first season more than the others. It really felt like they were out there exploring instead of just the pew pew action combat it became.

    It turned into 9/11 therapy for the writers.

    Wait a sec, so TNG has Yarr, Voyager is obvious, but who dies in DS9 season 1?

    Can you imagine if Opaka stuck around?

    I really felt like they missed an opportunity not returning to her later on. The moment that her actual fate got leaked to the public, that planet would have become a place of pilgrimage for Bajorans, and someone would have tried to make it the seat of a schismatic sect. It could have upended the entire Bajoran theocracy.

    It kind of works though because it's a prequel to things like TOS and TNG. We've already seen those shows, so we know they're basically wondering around what will become their own backyard in a couple of hundred years. There really isn't that much that's dangerous there. Mostly it's about interpersonal situations and meeting new species for the first time.

    It would be fine if Archer wasn't such a dumbass.

    Yeah, but I think the stakes should have been higher. They're exploring unknown space and meeting hostile aliens. Even if some of those aliens became friends later, they could have started as hostile and worked towards being allies, like they did with the Andorians later in the series. The idea that they could be in totally unknown space and exploring strange new worlds and no one ever dies? Seems a little hard to buy to me.
