Yeah I think that, aside from adding a bit of navy-esque flair to the shows, it also helps distinguish who is “in charge”, and frames the way orders are issued and followed in a way that readily makes sense to the audience

Janeway made the right choice with Tuvix. It might have been murder but the alternative was double murder

I always had the sense that the Enterprise E was a well liked design

It’s not that I wouldn’t find any of the content interesting, I just don’t feel like contributing on that kind of platform. Something about it just doesn’t appeal to me enough. It’s tough to nail down a concrete explanation of why exactly, yelling into the void just doesn’t do it for me. I prefer this more forum-like format where there’s space to be thoughtful and wordy in between the spicy space memes

Because of that, it would be neat if I could aggregate more Trek content into my life by following some accounts, but if I have to create another account and visit another separate website in order to do that I’ll have to pass, at least for now

you say that like Trek was never known for killing off side characters lol

If it never works out I’ll live, it would be neat if it happens eventually though :D

For me the lack of desire to interact in that way means that it would be convenient if I could follow certain mastodon accounts through lemmy, but because I have no desire to microblog or attempt to interact with celebrities, in turn, I have no desire to set up a mastodon account just to lurk a few accounts

It feels unfair to all those people to put a kid on the bridge instead of an adult in the middle of their career.

It’s partially a testament to what a prodigy he’s supposed to be, but it’s also an artifact of Picard’s friendship with his mother and late father, and a soft character progression for both of them because up to that point no children were allowed on the bridge with him at all

Trek fans in that era got hung up on some weird stuff for sure. I knew several people who hated Neelix for basically the entire Voyager run mainly because of that one early episode where he acted jealously even though he got over it by the end of the episode lol

Wesley. Kes is boring

I am confused by the choice to have the Klingons look like the redesign. This is TOS era so surely they should look like TOS era Klingons, no?

In the DS9 episode “Trials and Tribble-ations” some of the cast time travel into the (legendary) TOS episode “The Trouble with Tribbles” and when asked why the Klingons from that era look different Worf only says “we don’t talk about it”

SNW takes place a number of years before that TOS episode, so perhaps we will learn what happens sometime in the future as SNW gets closer and closer to the start of TOS

I have not, it’s been a while since I’ve played sins, sounds like a fun excuse to revisit!

Interesting! I’ve played a bit of New Horizons and it’s amazing, if New Civilizations is even better I’ll definitely have to check that out
