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

I struggle to think of things to say about “Nemesis”, one way or the other.
I do like the Remans. We need more Remans in our lives.

I haven’t done a deep dive into the reviews, but it looks like it’s going to be one of those “fine, if you’re into that sort of thing” games.

Okay, I have to admit, I had no idea this thing was even close to a full release…

It’s interesting that they know that, since it’s not in the official release - I suppose they may have seen the screener already.
- Comment on New Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Episode 107 Photos — “Ko’Zeine” 2 days ago:
As our cadets return home for their first school holiday, they must choose between what their families expect of them and their own dreams for the future — including an aspiring captain who’s secretly willing to risk everything to re-write her own past, and an aristocratic cadet called to serve his planet way before he’s ready.
So, definitely a Darem episode, and maybe Genesis as well?
I can’t help but wonder what Caleb’s going to do for a “home for the holidays” episode. Staying at the school is possible, but it would be interesting to see him connect with B’Avi’s family.

For the record, if anyone reading this is that sort of person, you can save us a lot of time and just go away now.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 3 days ago:
The Academy is a fully-functional starship, so she’s both the captain and the chancellor. She’s 500 years old, is a bit of a hippy, and is happy to lounge around when they’re not facing a crisis.
- Comment on The recent Star Trek series are often criticized for "not being woke enough", but I've come to feel the envelope they are pushing is much more radical, bolder, and important to our specific time... 3 days ago:
The implication is that the portrayal of bad things is somehow an endorsement of bad things, so it most certainly is not.

The one that bumps me most is the Totally-Not-Ten-Forward Office of the Federation President.
- Comment on The Undiscovered Country: Why is the galley set so worn out? 5 days ago:
That’s a good question. I found this on Memory Alpha:
A desperate scramble among the creative staff ensued to trim as much as possible of the budget as possible; the entire prologue was (albeit painfully) scrapped, scenes were trimmed, all planned set construction for new starship interiors was abandoned (though a new Kronos One corridor set did get build ultimately), the planned live-action shoots in Alaska for the Rura Penthe scenes were scrapped as were plans for new studio models and other visual effects elements. Starship sets were to be entirely recycled from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was concurrently in production, but was slated for its summer hiatus, when filming of The Undiscovered Country was planned to start, and only existing studio models were to be used.
I’m guessing this set was simply not built to hold up under feature film-level resolution.

Jettisoning the nacelles was considered in TOS’ “The Apple” and “The Savage Curtain”, but in both cases they never actually did it.

She also did an episode of “Enterprise” so I guess it’s all Trek canon.

spoiler is ok in these threads
This is correct - honestly, spoiler protection in the community in general is minimal, but there is none at all in these threads. I can try to add that to the post body moving forward.

I think Braka and the Venari Ral are an interesting contrast to Osyraa and the Emerald Chain, which was an entirely different flavour of tyranny.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x06 "Come, Let's Away" 6 days ago:
I thought about that, and concluded that the comic book probably took a lot of liberties with reality. Caleb did dismiss it as propaganda, after all.
