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

Clicked for the Klingon/Andorian hockey game, was not disappointed.

Turns out holographic facsimiles of people you know get bored, too.

I think it’s great that every season has its fans - I’m a season three guy, myself.

The Breen might have the ability to destroy the Archive, but with Discovery gone, it wouldn’t gain them anything and how ever long it took them would be time lost for chasing Discovery.
That’s a hell of a gamble if your objective is to protect civilians (and likely a gamble they would lose, considering the Breen’s actions).
why didn’t Discovery prepare a fake clue?
I think the answer is the same - it’s not something you want to screw around with if you’re trying to save lives.

I thought the “challenge” was a little on the obvious side, but then it’s the sort of thing that would be obvious to someone not undergoing it.
Book’s reaction to the Kweijian artifact was probably David Ajala’s best work on the series so far, really great stuff.
Moll usurped the Primarch perhaps a little too easily, but I like Eve Harlow’s performance enough that I really don’t care.
Lastly, it’s a small thing, but I thought the Badlands looked really great. They finally seem as hellish as they’ve always been described.

I found it unexpectedly upsetting when the shelving was taking hits from the Breen.

When it’s to help someone save face, it’s a totally different scenario - everyone knows that!

Vulcans lie all the time.
When Vulcans do it, it’s called “hallucinating”.

This is the first mention of a sa-te kru on screen, but the cat like predator from Vulcan/Ni’Var originated in a six page comic called “When Worlds Collide: Spock Confronts the Ultimate Challenge” written by Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, and drawn by Paul Pope that was published in a 2009 issue of “Wired”.
Okay, deep cut to something I didn’t know existed…

I’m seeing speculation all over the map, so I’m going to withhold judgment.

It does sound like they’re retaining the Star Trek license in some form - I wonder if that will include ships, and they just can’t talk about it yet.

One thing that always bugged me about the mystery of the Breen is that it shouldn’t actually be a mystery - Kira and Dukat take the refridgeration suits off a couple of Breen in “Indiscretion.”

I’m also going to give a shout-out to “The Magicks of Megas-Tu,” The One Where They Meet Satan.
- Comment on TAS recommendations 6 days ago:
I’m hardly a TAS expert - I’ve seen it all, but only once - but I think “Yesteryear” is considered the highest point of that series.

In this case, I completely disagree - I think they’ve come up with something pretty unique and compelling.
- Comment on Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode 6 days ago:
“Civil Defence”
Yeah, I dig it. It’s also very heavy on Bajoran/Cardassian conflict, which I think needs to be in there to be most representative of the series.
Solid list all around!

I think we need to move past the idea that “average” equates to “bad” - by definition, most episodes are going to be pretty average, and that’s okay!
- Comment on Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode 1 week ago:
Yeah, and that really underlines the point that the “representative” episode of each series probably has very different properties.
- Comment on Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode 1 week ago:
Yeah, I called “Darmok” unconventional because of the two-actor stage play aspect of it, but it’s a borderline case. I’ll allow it.
- Comment on Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode 1 week ago:
“Up the Long Ladder.”
You’re choosing violence, and I love it.
- Comment on Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode 1 week ago:
I think a little serialization can be a good thing, especially in a series like SNW, where it’s baked into the premise.
- Comment on Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode 1 week ago:
Oh wow, that’s probably my favorite VOY episode, it’s really great without being gimmicky - good pick!
Another good VOY episode might be “The Void” - a nice little diplomatic episode with a dash of action.
