It’s very unsatisfying.

An empire overflowing with ambitious and unscrupulous climbers who have all decided to allow young Georgiou to have the crown.

Ya let’s make the unhinged evil empire very civil and obedient so our protagonist actually back into the throne instead of actively seizing it. How convenient.

Ultimately it feels like they want to have their cake and eat it too: Georgiou is the baddest bitch, but also she was just trying to survive man! She cried when she murdered her own family, under coercion and duress!

I guess I liked her better when she was bonafide evil.

So the Terran empire runs some kinda hunger games for the next evil emperor… and the current evil emperor is just cool with abdicating I guess?

I wish I could enjoy it, but it just feels so dumb to watch a fairy tale transfer of power in the most evil setting.

Long answer, but good answer friend.

This in particular is gold:

in this future, humanity still succumbs to the pains and pitfalls of present-day life in a way that suggests we won’t grow out of them

I thought Section 31 was some shit clinging to the bowl, but the writers keep assimilating it into the Star Trek matrix so much so that it implies the Federation of TNG is a naive facade 😔

Viva Mintaka III 💪🏴 I love that episode for having primitive superstitious Vulcanoid aliens instead of generic humanoids.

We live in a world that has walls federation worlds, and those federation worlds have to be guarded.

Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Barclay?

she was chosen to rule the Terran empire

Administer 15 mg of damnatio memoriae to the previous regime, stat!

Which episodes do you find the most timeless?

How about a Worfian view on on honor:

In war, there is nothing more honourable than victory.

Worf would absolutely jump out an airlock, drunk on honour, if it would actually mean victory.

But Worf wouldn’t jump out just to die for Gowron’s lulz.

Admiral Vance:

"It's made of our shit, you know?"

I have never seen so much monotone reading of dialogue. Renegade Soval carried every scene he was in, so at least there’s that.

Thanks for opening my eyes to something new 🍻

Trip has so many great moments!

The episode when he is obsessed with pimping out the Captain Chair is one of my favorites.

Hey thanks, it's all new to me. I know what I'm watching this weekend.

After a dip I to that rabbit hole, perhaps I spoke too quickly...

Q: Look at me when I'm eating off you Picard.

But to your point, are there any fandoms (besides the church) that are still going strong with commemorative plates? Maybe they are just old fashioned.

What's this, what's this? There's Trek alum everywhere!

Ooh, is there a hot take here?

I havent heard much about it, sorry if I'm retreading a tired topic.

Kolos, at the gates of Sto'Vo'Kor: psst it's me Martok, come round the back and I'll get you to Jadzia.

They could do an episode in this idea too, you got a stew going here 🤙

Some aliens arrive looking for Dax (who remembers them and why they've come) but then the aliens kidnap Dax!

After some science the crew learns that Dax must have diverged in the past and the aliens are seeking the Other Dax.

The crew finds the Other Dax, explains the situation, and cooks up a ruse to free both Dax and Other Dax.

Episode ends on Other Dax's personal log detailing a trip home to the TSC.

I've never been here before and I already want the bread flair 🤙

I am now subscribed so I can witness the revolution; OP made a compelling case for a bunch of shit I never even considered and now I want to see what happens.

Let's go further, since they already lie about the number of symbionts.

The TSC would take an inspired approach and seek to discover the cloning process so they can scale symbionts to the entire population, and thus finally end the conspiracy.

You get a symbiont, and you get a symbiont, everyone gets a symbiont!
