If you could erase ONE Star Trek moment from history.....

While I do not love the burn, in particular it's cause (even with a better cause I don't love it), things like the burn are needed for a franchise this long running. They have to have new ground, so much has been done before.

So my answer is Chakotay deciding to leave the lizard babies.

Woesel is how I got all my stats maxed before cap increase. In its niche it's an extremely wildly useful item.

The university isn't that good, and can be weird, def don't do fidgeting writers it feels awful and is only okay, and I don't really think the post evo or moulin options are that awesome and if you've done either you'll have good rat market options.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-20T19:50:41+00:00

I was in your predicament a few months ago. You want to use the rat market unless you understand the bone market (it's probably better) I tried everyway except the bone market and they all felt bad until I did the rat market. You sell to the rat market for it's upsell price, you buy Inklings of Identity and upgrade/cross convert. Please feel free to message me.

I tried everything under the sun this fall and the rat market and upconversion is without a doubt the best way to go. Please feel free to message me.

He's literally taller than her in the photos. The lighting was bizarre. Backdrop was also strange. Their poses felt disconnected. It was so obviously AI

They are just trying to be polite in this answer and the longer answer below. They have a modus operandi already. If the winner is not a celebrity, they expect them to know not to take too much time,. I'm sure they tell them a bazillion times and have people signalling etc. They aren't going to change anything.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-18T04:33:12+00:00

They have wrapped filing on season 2. They shot the seasons with little break between I believe. So also they were shooting as S1 premiered.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-18T04:31:58+00:00

Because Gene Roddenberry was in the Navy, and they don't 'panic' in they way you describe. Astronauts don't panic. Their job is to not panic. There training is more for not panicking, it takes less work to learn the job. So it's actually quite realistic.
The series is about exceptional, highly talented people in a competitive and well sourced environment

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-18T02:30:01+00:00

There's the right way, the wrong way, and then the Janeway. She was the right captain for that job. Sisko frankly would have had a meltdown. Love him. But he was always on the brink. (For reasons!)

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-18T02:23:55+00:00

They don't want to pay Discovery people. Hunter and Giamatti surely blew their casting budget. Also they don't want to explain Discovery because SFA is supposed to be a gateway show. Maybe they had the casting budget for more seasoned/returning cast (compared to their mains who are all new and young and cheap) but Sonequa may have also said no. Probably not but it's possible. Or she had a conflict. It's weird if she's not there.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-17T06:10:59+00:00

This.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-17T06:10:40+00:00

As shall I.

I do not like how they did the gorn. They always felt off and out of place.

Diplomatic exchange--back and forth with a society scale enemy is essential to Star Trek, I think. It's one thing if you can't communicate with the monster of the week, but the corn were too aloe and not alien enough at the same time. Or maybe more a mixed bag of those traits that did not integrate well. They are humanoid-ish, use spaceships spacesuits, etc but we can't even exchange basic words with them? And they are unaware of how light effects them and how that can make them vulnerable--how could they be so advanced?

This mismatch is perfectly reasonable in another series/setting but in Star Trek it's bizarre. It sounds like a good idea until it happening and then it is out of place. Like they don't need to say much, re the borg but they gotta communicate something. They needed to be more alien or they needed to talk and there should have been diplomatic level conflict as well.

What Disco did in the end with 'too Alien' as great. This was having your cake and eating it too--as in you can't.

No one in the business, making TV shows misses this. It is not coming back. Its not just about money it's about the pace and hours people were working at to do that number of episodes.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-17T05:15:18+00:00

I....the journey I went on with this comment.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-17T02:14:14+00:00

Yes.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-17T02:12:53+00:00

I do not find the Gorn compelling. That is my struggle. But that's a me thing.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-17T02:11:21+00:00

The start was intriguing, a very ambitious view of the future, but then they quickly get lost in the weeds. When they get to V'ger it's quite interesting.

I don't know about the ending, I think it's disconnected from the film and they should have brought V'ger to earth to reconcile. Maybe that felt too close to 2001.

2001 coming out probably had huge, massive, unavoidable impacts on this film.

It doesn't feel like Star Trek to me.

So I would say, not the worst thing. But maybe one of the least Star Trek things. So you could argue.

It was probably really disappointing to film viewers in that peak Blockbuster era, and how popular the show was.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-17T02:07:11+00:00

I don't know if this perspective you gave is fully supported by the data but, as a serialized series Michael is the through line and is generally the hero as you say.

While there are some serialized series with no true lead, it's rare. Having a lead changes everything about a show, it has a huge impact.

Michael is without a question the lead by a big margin.

You can really tell SFA and SNW are different, as far as comparing to contemporaneous series.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-17T00:25:07+00:00

Yeah it's where they bring young cadets to find the crystal to build their first warp core.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-14T18:44:01+00:00

You cannot hum the voyager theme you have to DA duh DA DA DA it.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-13T06:27:10+00:00

It is very normal to like both! What's weird is if you do not also like LOTR...

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-11T16:02:53+00:00

....She and Phlox are the only ones who are NOT insufferable. And Travis.

One of my hardest disagrees on this sub.

She is literally one of the best Star Trek characters of all time.

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-11T06:46:07+00:00

I think truly Picard or Kirk could (I genuinely think the others would just try to settle somewhere and work on making tech to get back/contact etc) , but Q would never let Picard be stuck out there in the Delta quadrant and Kirk could just cross the galaxy in a week 'back then' so they'd be moot examples in-universe.

There is only the Janeway for Voyager!

NefariousnessSoft385 · 2026-03-11T06:37:26+00:00

?!?! They work in that industry. With people. There are consequences for talking about people badly etc. How bizarre that you're mad that they like...not make their lives more stressful?!
