Yeah they chose weird edges to soften. Make Amos less intimidating and batshit? No sir, my boy is supposed to be a crayon eater restrained just barely by Naomi, Holden or his love for children.

I feel like most of it comes from the lack of forced perspective in the show. You never really see stuff from certain characters angles like you do in the book.

The show could only show a generic third person perspective, you never really got holdens insights from the chapters from his perspective, or Naomi’s from hers. So they kinda blurred together in the show I found.

Brian George Dr Bashir's dad is a gem. I wish he had stayed as Arjun. That new guy felt so off.

True, however, we did get Data blurting out, “Oh, shit!” when Troi crashed the Enterprise saucer section into Veridian III in Star Trek: Generations.

Yeah, it's like the transporters. They were originally made due to the limitations of making a TV show (budget didn't allow a landing sequence every episode) but they've become an established part of the universe now.

SNW is getting better with its sense of humor.

Now, PIC… apparently, the 25th century is the century of the potty mouth! It’s old man Picard and old man Riker dropping f-bombs left and right. Even old lady Seven getting in on the fun.

My favorite instance of swearing is in one of the TNG movies (can't remember which one cuz it's been forever) when the Enterprise is going down and Data looks up at the viewscreen and the land is coming up fast and he just shouts "Oh shiiiiiit!"

I also miss professionals exploring space, solving problems with science and diplomacy, engaged in intriguing stories that explored the complex moral and ethical issues of the day instead of just blowing shit up all the time and with some superficial lip-service pandering to certain social issues just to appease fans but without much more lasting presence than mere tokenism and self back-patting for the effort.

We need an episode of Celebrity Deathmatch for Delores Umbridge vs Kai Winn

Now they just have a universal bleeper, at least on the Cerritos

She is also a friend of Tali's dad in Mass Effect. Tali calls her Auntie Raan.
