And of things normal people can’t associate with being scary. I think that’s why everyone’s struggling to guess what’s next. What random thing will strike fear into them next? Birds? Greeks? Furniture that isn’t wood? Children’s book- oh, we had that one.

For a party that thinks itself as a pillar of strength and power … they sure do spend a lot of their time in perpetual fear.

Discovery was IMHO the most inferior Star Trek, but they nailed this idea when they described the Terran empire. This strong, incontrovertibly evil, imperial monster was born of, and lives on fear. A version of humanity that gave up on trust or hope and became the worst version of themselves.

I felt it was leaning too hard into the grimdark and action for my liking. But that’s just my opinion, and there’s lots of room for taste. My husband’s favorite is Voyager and I think that one is less well regardless so to reach thier own.
