- Comment on If Tasha Yar stayed on the show, what do you think would have happened? How would she have been written? 9 months ago:
I was thinking maybe a seahorse kind of thing.
- Comment on If Tasha Yar stayed on the show, what do you think would have happened? How would she have been written? 9 months ago:
I dunno, having Yar’s baby momma show up and drop off a kid would have been a challenge to write in the late 80s / early 90s.
- Comment on Are We All Too Cynical for Star Trek? 9 months ago:
It’s always been both, just with our current problems offloaded to aliens for scrutinization. That they’re no longer using aliens for commentary is the problem.

Something I would have liked to have seen is Vidiians being assimilated by choice on the basis that being part of the Collective had to be better than suffering from the Phage. Instead of them just being enemies, they should have really leaned into how horrible it would be to live with that plague hanging over their heads. It’s also implied in an episode or two that there are uninfected populations somewhere, probably under quarantine, which would have been interesting to explore.

Firmware updates fix some bugs and introduce others.

There are actually differences in the Prime and Kelvin timelines that happened before Nero’s incursion. For instance, Kirk’s date of birth is off by several months. They tried to justify that afterwards by saying something about the event sending shockwaves through time to change things before it even happened or something like that. The real reason probably lies in that interview where JJ Abrams admitted he never liked Star Trek, but you could argue that the removal of various down-stream time travel events, like the events of “The City on the Edge of Forever” likely not happening in the modified timeline, could actually cause retroactive changes to the timeline.
But anyway, the Kelvin timeline already diverges before the Kelvin-Narada thing, because reasons.

Fun fact - the actress under that makeup also went on to play the Female Changeling.

It’s also not even remotely how DNA or evolution work.
- Comment on Dukat is upset they still haven't built a statue of him in the parking lot for pushing a cart into traffic 10 months ago:
And yet, all the carts are collected and all the shelves fully stocked.

Seems bland as hell on the surface, but hiding a spicy side.

*any port in a pon far
- Comment on The Church of Trek 10 months ago:
The remake being attached to Trek with the creator being annoyed at VOY and leaving to make his own show still kinda fits the Mormon thing with the above chart, though.
- Comment on got this on 21st december in my advent calendar 10 months ago:
That is definitely a TOS Romulan BoP.
- Comment on Sisko explains it all 10 months ago:
The way his conviction wavers as he says it also shows that he’s trying to convince himself and justify his actions to himself more than anything else. It’s not that he can live with it, it’s that he has to live with it.

Lucky could be Paris, but that would make Luanne B’Elanna and I don’t think that part works.
- Comment on On the ninth day of Trek-mas, 10 months ago:
I still think each Combs in the picture should be a different character. Unless each one is a different Weyoun, in which case they already are.
- Comment on this was in my advent calendar (16th-18th dec) 11 months ago:
Tough little model.

Londo and Quark trying to scam each other at gambling.
- Comment on got ds9 on the 15th of december 11 months ago:
I’m honestly impressed they successfully modeled it at that scale at all. That it actually looks pretty accurate is a bonus.
- Comment on got ds9 on the 15th of december 11 months ago:
Nah, too vertical.
- Comment on Who's the MVP of the MPV's? 11 months ago:
Add in Sokel for the next round. He was T’Lyn’s former captain.
- Comment on How it Should Have Ended: Picard Season Three 11 months ago:
Also, there was just something about it that felt like a re-hash of an actual TNG episode, but I can’t pin down which one.
“Homeward,” the episode where Worf’s adoptive brother evacuates a pre-warp species to a new planet because theirs is dying using the Enterprise’s transporters and holodeck to make them think they’re just traveling over land to a new place.
- Comment on On the end of Discovery 11 months ago:
That’s not new. Turbolifts on the Discovery were depicted that way pre-refit, back in the TOS-ish era. It’s a (mind-boggling) stylistic choice or something.
- Comment on How it Should Have Ended: Picard Season Three 11 months ago:
I am part of the group that thinks Insurrection was not just bad as a movie, but bad as a plot line all together. Literally everything about the Ba’ku-Son’a conflict falls apart at the slightest scrutiny.
- Comment on How it Should Have Ended: Picard Season Three 11 months ago:
Season 3 has a ton of problems, but it’s still a much better send off for the TNG crew than Nemesis was, and that’s good enough for me.
- Comment on just drop it 11 months ago:
I genuinely can’t remember if this is a shot from LD. The episode where Boimler gets a girlfriend, maybe?
- Comment on Discuss 11 months ago:
For their internal politics, yes the PD applies. For general interaction, no, the PD no longer applies. You can also land on a pre-warp world if they’re already buying Romulan Ale from the Ferengi. It’s not like you can make it any worse once the cat’s out of the bag. Consider that Kirk was sent to negotiate with the Organians back when they were thought to be a pre-industrial species; that was fine since they had already been contacted by some other people, including the Klingons.
- Comment on Just get a bigger fence 11 months ago:
They’re actually a republic. The Vedek Assembly has a lot of influence, but they’re fully separate from the Provisional Government. And they only have that much influence because the vast majority of the population follows the Bajoran faith. Think of the Assembly like the Vatican - powerful when everyone cares (Pope during the Middle Ages), but virtually powerless when nobody does (Pope now).
- Comment on Would have been genius 11 months ago:
Phase 2 production attempts actually only lasted a year or two right before filming on TMP started.
- Comment on Would have been genius 11 months ago:
They were going through a few different movie scripts at the time. Interestingly, a rejected one was about a black hole that threatened to consume reality, not dissimilar to the prime timeline part of '09.
