I was thinking something kind of similar - if they had left Mariner out of it entirely, we could have had a Tendi/T'lyn "Janeway and Chakotay build a bathtub" plot.

It makes me wonder about how much background information Mount was given along with the sides he was reading - honestly, probably very little, or nothing at all.

He certainly seems to be playing the role in a stern-but-friendly way, which is likely not what they were looking for in the case of Lorca.

That particular website tends to trade in ragebait, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Yeah, it's nice to hear they can still get things done, if they're (a) motivated and (b) not being whipped by their leadership.

Much more affordable at animation rates!

I enjoyed this one more than last week's - I think I'm calibrated to prefer the more heartfelt episodes over the sillier ones. And this one added "the purple D" to the lexicon, so that's...a real legacy, is what it is.

The Mariner subplot was pretty thin, and probably could have been cut entirely.

pre-war society

Well, we'll see about that...

Tawny did a guest spot on the Greatest Trek podcast recently, and shed a little more light on how this thing came into being.

Apparently, it was Paramount that was pushing to get a Trek sitcom off the ground, and Alex Kurtzman wasn't sure it could work. But he mentioned it to Tawny, and she rode for the idea.

Yeah, "Ronald B. Moore" was just seen on the holodeck Okudagram in the original episode. It may not have been legible in the pre-remaster version of the show.

Inverse: How Star Trek's Reigning Captain Is Quietly Making History

I would love to see the alternate universe Star Trek V where he got to make exactly what he had in mind, without any interference or budgetary constraints.

When the book was initially announced, I didn't think much of it, but it seems like Visitor really put a lot of work into this thing.

I watched this last night - I have to admit, when I watched the "Unification" short, one of the first things I thought about was Shatner having lost touch with Nimoy prior to Nimoy's death - he recounts (his side of) that story here.

This was another decent episode. I have to say, though, I don't think this season is "hitting" for me quite as much as past seasons.

Does it get any better than Dadmiral Vance?

No doubt assisted by the bloody cut on the throwing hand of Blue Bombers’ starting QB, Zach Callaros, in the 3rd quarter.

No question, though it seemed like the Bombers sort of lost the plot at halftime. Maybe they enjoyed the Jonas Brothers a little too much.

I'm a little surprised by the appearance of SB 80 - its interiors are obviously very 2260s, but the exterior appearance seems incongruent with that.

I don't think it was.

I really don't think it's up to them.
