If you immediately know the tractor beam is Borg, then the assimilation began long ago.

Antivirus and firewalls aren't as useful when you can bypass shields and either physically beam or holographically project something directly into the override circuitry. You don't need to take over the computer if you can take over the controls.

A 100 MB EFI partition is not sufficient in 2023. It should really be closer to 500 MB.

It might not cause any problems now for it to be smaller. But if you've ever run out of space in /boot you can probably understand why it may cause problems later.

So you're telling me Section 31 didn't scrub that ship clean before sending it off to be adapted into a museum exhibit? Let alone any other science team?

My suspension of disbelief is stretched rather thinly with respect to the Tuvix flower being handed over to some lower deckers to be cargo on a California class before being put on rotating display to the public. It just seems way too dangerous to not end up going straight to either Daystrom.

I always thought it was so tropey. It just doesn't strike me as thought-provoking if you can sum up something with "a parallel universe decided to release an evil version of me with an evil beard and nobody else to come from a parallel universe and frame me aboard my ship".

My friend, where do you think the Beard of Evil trope came from?

That's like saying Once More, With Feeling is tropey because it's a Musical Episode.

Twelve of those are mine, due partly to the very shortcomings being discussed here.
