Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?
- Comment on Paul Giamatti Experiences The Eerie Stillness Of 'Black Mirror' And Teases Being A 'Bad Guy' On 'Starfleet Academy' 1 day ago:
It was great. I had a ball doing that. And I mean, again, during the “Star Trek” world, it’s lovely people, and it was nothing but pleasure, and it was a dream wish fulfillment for me to be able to be in “Star Trek.” I play a very interesting, complicated guy, bad guy, I suppose. I’m a bad guy. Yeah, I guess I’m a bad guy. But yeah, so I dunno what more I can say about that without giving too much away.
I’m in more than one episode. I have a little arc through this season. I reappear and become more problematic as the show goes on.

- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 3 days ago:
They had no time at all - filming was already complete.
They were given a short amount of time (3 days IIRC) to film the epilogue, and by then most of the sets had been dismantled.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 3 days ago:
I think the word “movie” is a little misleading, but it makes sense that they would have wanted to do a full 2-hour “event” episode.

If the premiere is on June 14, I guess my new guess for the full release is June 19?

- Comment on Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence? 1 week ago:
there was some debate as to whether the prime directive applied as the Baku weren’t native to the planet.
…which is an absolutely insane debate. No one tries to argue that the PD doesn’t apply to the Romulans, even though they’re not native to their world.
Colony planets aren’t considered “fair game” for interference.
- Comment on Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence? 1 week ago:
The Prime Directive is that the Federation won’t interfere with the development of a pre-warp society.
While warp capability (or a rough equivalent) is the prerequisite for first contact, the Prime Directive is broader, forbidding intervention in the internal affairs of any non-Federation civilization.

Couldn’t agree less - I think the 32nd century is a fantastic setting, especially for a show like this.

Ni’Var in Discovery does seem to be on that path, particularly with the Romulo-Vulcan faction.
- Comment on Robert Picardo Confirms It's Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor In Starfleet Academy 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s definitely possible that Picardo could play both versions of the character, even if it’s just for a single episode.
But the full-time version on “Academy” will be the original, not the “Living Witness” backup.

Oh, are names important? What were the names of the Klingons?
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Series And Graphic Novel Nominated For Hugo Awards 2 weeks ago:
Well, the Cerritos is also transformed into a *Galaxy-*class ship by that anomaly, so by your logic, there’s an equal chance that TNG took place in a different universe.
Which is…definitely a thing you could say.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Series And Graphic Novel Nominated For Hugo Awards 2 weeks ago:
where the Klingons started turning in to discovery type Klingons suggesting that discovery was not set in the main trek universe.
I’m not sure you’ve given this line of thought full consideration.

- Comment on Season 3 Teaser Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3 weeks ago:
I have no beef with Paul Wesley - young Kirk was described as “a stack of books with legs” back in TOS, and I think that comes through in the performance.
But Sam Kirk is an absolute delight.
