  About Culber:

  he’s gonna come back, we just haven’t figured out how, and we don’t know how we’re doing it because it’s gonna happen in season 2.

  So they didn’t know what they were doing? Shocker.

  Reading this article I wonder if the actors realize how bad the writing was for that show.

    I mean, that’s pretty standard. They wrote the “Best of Both Worlds” cliffhanger with no idea how they were going to resolve it.

    Very, very few shows aren’t “made up as they went along”.

      Some of them even ship without being as finished as originally advertised/implied, too… 🤔

  Disco was so unhinged that a musical would have been amazing.

  Okay, now here’s your big captain number where you sing and dance about shooting stamets out the airlock…and action!

    I had an idea for what I would have done with a Disco musical.

    Rather than having everyone be forced to sing, the episode would be an actual stage musical put on by the crew in the shuttlebay or someplace.

    The plot? The story of first contact with the Vulcans…but the “official,” Borg-free version, with a glorified, square-jawed version of Zefram Cochrane.
