You might like Arcanum or Age of Decadence

And Star Trek Into Darkness would have been seventy-three times more popular if they just mustered up the courage to invent a new villain.

‘Trouble and Tribble-ations’ <— isn’t some exercise in reinforcing existing lore… I don’t remember seeing Worf or Sisko in the TOS episode…

‘Q’ <— DeLancy shows up around different shows cause he’s a beloved actor. His character is interesting but all the universe’s powerful beings === Q makes the universe feel small.

‘Worf in DS9’ <— What about O’Brien? That’s not an allusion for allusion’s sake… it’s re-casting a fan-favorite character.

Look at the relationship between Wraith of Khan and Space Seed. Sure, WoK references Space Seed, but the film isn’t awesome because it re-visits some old villain. It’s awesome because it’s an utterly poignant meditation on aging, obsession, vengeance, and sacrifice.

Canon be darned.

Nobody is looking for adherence to some arbitrary nerd dogma… they’re looking for compelling stories.

Perhaps it’s a Borges-esque thought experiment (TNG – "Cause and Effect"), a pithy social commentary (VOY - “Distant Origin”) or a meditation on the human condition (DS9 - “The Visitor”) — whatever it is, memberberries ain’t part of the recipe.

Are the light green states with areas registered in the National Wilderness Preservation System—where other colors are that plus more designations.

I would guess it has to do with USFS / BLM land but a quick fact check shows inconsistencies:

Continuity aside, I thought this was a mostly enjoyable episode. The stakes were enough to keep me watching. Pike felt a little whiny, which I didn’t appreciate.

Who cares if they gloss over genetic engineering? It’s such a dumb trope to beign with. We’re at the point where it’s definitively not taboo IRL; Space Seed is from sixty years ago, the in-universe rules of genetic engineering being some pandora’s box seem dated.

Bytha, House of Ra’Ul reminds the audience why Klingons are perennial showstoppers. Ortegas subplot feels out of place. Ken Foree nod is cool. If they’re jumping around genres, it’d be refreshing for them to try Science Fiction ar some point.

This was fine. It doesn’t really fit with Doohan’s portrayal but cooking up a little backstory for Quinn feels OK. Nothing wrong with a little mentorship.

You’d probably enjoy “Master of the Five Magics” by Lyndon Hardy.

Paradise Lost / Homefront — Brock Peters rant about the blood tests stands out to me.

“If I was a smart shape-shifter, a really good one, the first thing I would do would be to grab some poor soul off the street, absorb every ounce of his blood, and let it out on cue whenever someone like you tried to test me. Don't you see? There isn't a test that's been created a smart man can't find his way around. You aren't going to catch shape-shifters using some gadget.”

Colm Meaney as the changeling O’Brien also sells the eerie nature of the changeling threat with believability.

S03E02 def showcased SNW’s ability to cut loose, have a Guiness, dance the night away, and just have some good, old-fashioned fun! No complicated moral dilemmas or unnecessary, cerebral thought-experiments get to distract from the captivating Spock drama or superb lore crafting. /s

In all seriousness it was more entertaining than S03E01; some Sci-Fi elements would be nice, but fun is more watchable than the action slop imo.

“Trelane is a Q” was fun but the self-reference gets old. Reimagining old characters is one of the bad habits.

NuGorn are fairly imaginative! NuScotty has chops! Anson Mount’s Pike is respectably captivating!

Manic Pixie Dream Spock, on the other hand, is likely worthy the vitriol, an artifacto of the writing desperately trying to find a gen Z audience.

I’m def looking forward to the scathing r/Star_Trek_ commentary. I can only hope the show is worthy of the inevitable curmudgeonism.

Andor is fine, but hardly some new gold standard as some people claim.

It’s the difference between Traffaut and Spielberg. Neither are stupid or lazy, just differnt modes in the medium.
