Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

It’s in a weird spot - they picked it up for a second season very early on, but then cancelled it. So we’re in this weird position of knowing there’s another season coming, but also that it will be the last one.

- Comment on The one episode you'd share to get someone into Star Trek 5 days ago:
Voyager: “Nemesis”
This is actually a very interesting pick - I tend to think it’s a mistake to try to start someone on an episode that would be considered among “the best,” since after that there’s nowhere to go but down. “Nemesis” fits the bill of something that’s reasonably interesting without being spectacular.
I’m very bad at answering the core question, but I think the beauty of the franchise is that it has a little of everything to offer, and you can tailor recommendations to the person’s tastes.
Do they like medical dramas? Procedural mysteries? Musicals? Gritty war stories? There’s something in there for everyone.

- Comment on Let's talk about Waking Moments 1 week ago:
My memories of this one are pretty fuzzy - looking at Memory Alpha, elements of it are ringing bells, mainly the recurring moon that Chakotay uses to remember he’s dreaming.
It’s a neat episode.
I can get behind this sentiment. I don’t think it’s outstanding, but it’s unique and does some things we don’t typically see.
- Comment on It's a weird request but if Paramount decides to not greenlight Paul Wesley's Kirk and Crew, I hope IDW does a Year One comic. 1 week ago:
I think the odds of a tv series are less than zero at this point, but comics would be a great fit.

- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 4x10 "Tomorrow's Enterprise" 2 weeks ago:
I thought Pike was still a Captain during The Menagerie, but Memory Alpha says he was a Fleet Captain, which I guess is a billet and not an official rank?
SNW has played fast-and-loose with what was established in “The Menagerie” - Kirk does call Pike “Fleet Captain” at the beginning of the message, and goes on to tell Commodore Mendez that he met Pike when he was promoted to fleet captain. It’s not explicitly stated, but the obvious implication is that this was the only time Kirk met Pike.
But, Pike has already been temporarily promoted to fleet captain, back in “Lost In Translation.” He does indeed meet Jim Kirk in that episode, which basically fulfills what Kirk said in TOS. Obviously, they’ve met many times since then, but it doesn’t technically break anything, even though it clearly wasn’t the original intent back in “The Menagerie”.
I thought I didn’t enjoy this season, but it turns out I actually did. So…there is that.
I actually think this will end up being a common opinion. For all the hand-wringing about the “gimmicks,” I think every individual episode was…fine, at worst. And I would strongly recommend taking another look at “A Case of Chiaroscuro” some day - I think it’s pretty top-tier.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 4x10 "Tomorrow's Enterprise" 2 weeks ago:
Which makes me wonder how the next season will feel.
I’ve been thinking about that lately. I see a couple of possibilities:
-
A single, six-episode arc (which doesn’t really seem like this show’s style).
-
Standalone episodes with significant time-jumps in between (seems more likely to me).
Of course, there are other possibilities (maybe a bunch of two-parters like ENT season 4?), so who knows?
It reminds me of the Babylon 5 season 4 finale, which was written to function as the series finale when they thought they wouldn’t get renewed.
Even better, the actual series finale was filmed at the end of season 4 and withheld until season 5 ended (which is why Ivanova is in it instead of Lochley, for example). So season 4 sort of had two finales.

- Comment on Star Trek Is Officially Rewriting ‘Strange New Worlds’ Winning Formula for Season 5 2 weeks ago:
Yeah…I think Collider has fallen pretty far in terms of the way they write their articles and headlines - I assume it’s the brief mention about how season five has “essentially no genre hopping,” per Akiva Goldsman.

Trick question - there are no good episodes of Star Trek.

What’s wrong with space baby? If we start to exclude “space baby,” we’re actually excluding a fair number of Trek episodes.

They got a very early pickup for the second season, so it was filmed ages ago. The only question is when they’re going to release the thing.
