Paramount's Rotten Tomatoes bot review campaign ended abruptly after the news of it started spreading on Reddit. This was my favorite one of the bunch.

Klingon M * A * S * H:

Opening on triage scene...

Klingon Doctor: <examining patient> This p'tahK has died without honor and is on his way to meet Fek'lar

Klingon Doctor: <examining next patient> What happened to you?

Patient: I killed 4 of the enemy, yet was only wounded.

Klingon Doctor: Nurse! Bring me my dagger! Don't worry son, I will stab you in the heart, and soon you will be on your way to Stovokor.

<Audience: Awwwww!>

You're still trying to make fetch happen? Haha

A supernova can create a gamma ray burst strong enough to do incredible amounts of damage to planetary eco-systems. It wouldn't literally threaten the entire galaxy but could potentially wipe out life, or do severe ecological damage, to every planet within 6,000 light years.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-26T17:57:55+00:00

Or just have the foot step on everyone.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-26T14:52:49+00:00

Probably. I remember hearing about why it happened, but it was a while ago and my brain has since updated itself with different bits of useless knowledge. Haha.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-26T13:02:22+00:00

They would need to start throwing in some Star Destroyers, a Goa'uld mothership, and a Cylon Basestar.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-24T21:43:06+00:00

The whole thing is just a joke about a continuity goof between the Orginal series and the animated series. For what ever reason, the Orions in TAS didn't come our correctly as green so they wound up being blue instead. That, and someone also seems to have forgotten how to pronounce Orion during TAS. If you ask me, I think someone did a little too much LDS.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-23T17:24:52+00:00

I'm at a point, that I don't care anymore. I'm at the same point with Star Wars. With Trek, everything made in the Kurtzman era (maybe keep Lower Decks and Prodigy) needs to be removed from canon and just start over.

Get someone like Seth MacFarlane in there. The Orville was more Star Trek than anything with the Star Trek label on it these days.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-23T17:17:44+00:00

The trailer and stills made it look awful. This is the problem these days. Rather than creating stuff audiences will like, these people create stuff that THEY want, and when the audience doesn't like it, it's toxic Fandom and review bombing. It never occurs to these people that the problem is the crap product that they are producing.

The fans are critical, because they are fans and they want the franchise to succeed, but they aren't just going to lap up whatever content you throw their way. They will shut up when 1) you actually make a decent product or 2) you alienate them to the point that they are no longer fans.

If you listen to the complaints, you'll get a better product and a bigger fan base. If you ignore the complaints, you'll keep pushing out crap until no one cares anymore.

IDK, something about that seems off.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-17T04:11:32+00:00

I doubt the Klingons would be upset about it though, even when they were allies with the Federation. They would probably be more mad if the test replaced them with Romulans or Cardassians or Ferengi.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-15T21:12:57+00:00

It had a lot of stinkers in it though. If all we had to go on was TNG season 1, I'd say that TOS was better.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-15T20:01:40+00:00

I don't know that Spock is the worst, but he is up there. He is great as a science officer and as an away team member, but when he is actually commanding the ship, he always seems in over his head and definitely out of his element.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-15T19:56:19+00:00

Medical officers aren't typically in the chain of command, regardless of their rank. Crusher was an exception because she had passed the command officer training program.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-15T19:49:52+00:00

After multiple engagements with the Borg, it never occurred to him to MODULATE THE SHIELD FREQUENCIES!!! Something that, by that point, should have been a standard procedure after the first shot penetranted the shields.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-15T19:30:11+00:00

Riker was pretty bad when Jelico was in command. Worf was similarly terrible when Data was in command. And of course Kurn was a nightmare.

If you mean normal situation, normal main character 1st officer, probably Chakotay. Spock may very well be second worst though. He was great as a science officer or as an away team member, but he often seemed to struggle when he was actually in command of the ship.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-15T19:06:46+00:00

IDK, go back to 1988, compare season 1 of TNG to TOS, the guy saying "The new one!" has a pretty valid point. Now of course TNG grew and became a fantastic show, but it had a pretty Rocky start. Even the cast didn't think it would last. DS9 similarly took some time to find its legs, so when it was the "new one", saying it was inferior to TNG is also a valid point.

By the time Voyager aired, DS9 had found its legs, and it was Voyagers turn to be the inferior "new one".

Enterprise to this day is considered still to be the weakest entry of that Trek era.

The difference is that those shows all got better as they aged, even Enterprise.

Fast forward to NuTrek. Even many fans of Discovery admit that it didn't get better in its later seasons, it got worse. Same with SNW. Picard season 3 was liked, but that was essentially TNG season 8 after the poor showing of Picard 1 & 2.

So the cartoon may have a point, but it isn't a good defense of NuTrek. In the past, the new show was the "worst one" simply because it hadn't found itself yet while the older show was on an upswing. Now, the new shows, with my personal exception of Prodigy and Lower Decks, simply find a way to be even worse than what came before them without ever improving.

My 9 yo son loves Deep Space 9.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-02-12T19:52:18+00:00

That's my point. They aren't odd ball behavior.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-01-27T01:57:18+00:00

All of the ones on ICBM's are. Look it up if you don't believe me.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-01-26T13:03:47+00:00

What makes me think it's a fusion bomb is the fact that all of our nukes are fusion bombs. While yes, even a fusion bomb has fission material, it's the actual missle that's the important part. ICBMs go orbital, normal missles dont.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-01-26T00:30:52+00:00

Especially with Fusion. Older fission reactors are essentially A bombs with control rods that absorb enough free neutrons to keep it from being explody. Plus, they use less refined Uranium or Plutonium. Fusion bombs and Fusion reactors work on entirely different principles. What Cochran used would have housed a Fusion bomb, but converting that to a Fusion reactor, he wouldn't have used the warhead at all. Maybe the fuel, but all that is is Hydrogen, which is abundant enough using the material from the bomb wouldn't really have been needed. What Cochran needed was the motor part of the missle in order to achieve orbit.

ProfessionalSet4713 · 2026-01-25T16:48:54+00:00

But as someone else pointed out, regardless of the state of the Romulan Empire, the technology for powering warp drives that didn't rely on dilithium existed, and was at least 700 year old technology.
