The initial plan for Picard was not to have most of the Next Generation cast appear. You even told them that during a gathering.

Fun Fact. In the ready room interview Brent Spiner retells, in Stewart’s voice, what they were told over dinner:

yes there’s a new show and no you’re not in it

Seems like a real one and I hope he does well in the next gig. I await the day I can point to him on the screen and say “Did you know he was in Star Trek also?”

Worf must be on the cover of the collector’s edition

Worf on race relations

Captain, these are Romulans. They are without honour.

The Borg have neither honour nor courage.

The Cardassians have no honour. I do not trust them.

Romulans are treacherous, deceitful. They are without honour.

The Romulans! I always knew they were without honour. Now they have proven it.

These Breen are without honour.

Worf on everyone else

The Duras family is corrupt and hungry for power with no sense of honour or loyalty.

Your family has never valued honour.

Unlike you, I still have a sense of honour and loyalty.

You will say anything. You have no honour!

You rule without wisdom and without honour.

You will die without honour.

Not OC, but def my fave meme about the parasites

I had a similar realization when rewatching 03x04 Who Watches The Watchers. Those Mintakans would eventually realize they are unrelated to every other life form on the planet.

They might even have legends of a man in the sky promising them a new world, now a theory to be wholly supported by the biological record x_x

The steam discussions are as spirited and divisive as I expected lol.

Too many problems that show it’s wearing a skin suit like a serial killer pretending to be your neighbor to be invited inside the house. It’s simply not Trek.

1. Resource bottlenecks - Not a thing in Trek.
2. Crew Morale / Hunger - Not a thing.
3. Logistics and transport - Not a thing.
4. The “drop” system is borderline P2W mechanics manifest.

I can’t wait to spend that much for the “burning pile of post-scarcity money” card from Lower Decks s5e2

I love this meme. There’s one I saw once where he’s trying to explain why he blasted those parasite badmirals. Wish I saved it at the time.

I had no idea they were related, but apparently they were (thanks 😉). But that too was soon retconned:

According to comments by Michael and Denise Okuda, when mentioning of the speed limit was abandoned a few years after “Force of Nature”, it was assumed that newer ships, such as the USS Voyager and USS Defiant, had improved environmentally friendly warp drive systems, that did not cause damage to the spatial continuum.

Warp 10 and salamanders. Great examples 👌

But what about TNG 7x09, the one where we learn that warp travel damages subspace and that a warp speed limit is the solution?

Later, the Federation Council issues a new directive limiting all Federation vessels to a speed of warp five except in extreme emergencies.

Starships were meant to fly

My wife (and probably many others) disagrees, but I’m firmly of the opinion that Starships by Nicki Minaj is an uncertified trek banger 🙌

Harbinger is the worst episode of ENT. The captain and the alien of the week are maybe 6 minutes of the episode. The rest is a bunch of bullshit with resolving the conflicts in the crew that had been brewing all season.

Only saving grace is the fight scene, but then the macho American space marine gets schooled by lieutenant mister bean? Lolwut

What the hell do they think this is, Hamlet, Gone With the Wind, Ruggles of Red Gap? It’s a goddamned space western, aliens in rubber masks, you know the drill!

My favorite is the repair tool from S1 PIC, the one powered by imagination. Lets just create and forget a magic wand that commoditizes the entire engineering department 🙃

Enterprise was not bad at all.

Phlox, rub some decontamination gel on this revisionist history! The worst part was absolutely all the oily creeper shots.

Absolutely peak quark 👂👌

Not sure if you’re actually wanting animated or not, but Scavenger’s Reign is a good animated sci-fi miniseries of a spaceship crew stranded on a strange planet.

For live action check out the two Callister episodes of Black Mirror.

Also I can only imagine his pitch.

Crossing my fingers it gets leaked 🤣

Odo used harumph. It’s super effective!

Really thoughtful read. I especially appreciated this

The term woke originally meant something quite simple: Being awake to injustice. However, in recent years, it has undergone a remarkable semantic inversion. For some critics, woke has become shorthand for any narrative that asks viewers to empathize with someone outside their tribe.

This is why stories about immigration policy, systemic injustice, or forgiveness trigger such strong reactions. They are perceived not as entertainment but as ideological intrusion. They become “the enemy.”
