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

- Comment on Deep Space Nine season 2 appreciation post 4 days ago:
I like the Circle trilogy - the Bajoran government being unstable is a fun element to those early seasons.
It’s a shame Shakaar was such a dud of a character, and the series sort of lost interest in the Bajoran civilian government as the Dominion and Kai Winn started to take up all the oxygen in the series.

Chelsea did an AMA with us back in the Old Place when the book came out. She seemed cool, and fairly knowledgeable about, y’know, cooking.
I’d be curious to hear how the recipes turn out for you.

Though in “More Tribbles, More Troubles”, Starfleet had developed quintotriticale grain.
They quickly came to realize that that’s too many triticales.

It was great. I had a ball doing that. And I mean, again, during the “Star Trek” world, it’s lovely people, and it was nothing but pleasure, and it was a dream wish fulfillment for me to be able to be in “Star Trek.” I play a very interesting, complicated guy, bad guy, I suppose. I’m a bad guy. Yeah, I guess I’m a bad guy. But yeah, so I dunno what more I can say about that without giving too much away.
I’m in more than one episode. I have a little arc through this season. I reappear and become more problematic as the show goes on.

- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 2 weeks ago:
They had no time at all - filming was already complete.
They were given a short amount of time (3 days IIRC) to film the epilogue, and by then most of the sets had been dismantled.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 2 weeks ago:
I think the word “movie” is a little misleading, but it makes sense that they would have wanted to do a full 2-hour “event” episode.

- Comment on Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence? 2 weeks ago:
there was some debate as to whether the prime directive applied as the Baku weren’t native to the planet.
…which is an absolutely insane debate. No one tries to argue that the PD doesn’t apply to the Romulans, even though they’re not native to their world.
Colony planets aren’t considered “fair game” for interference.
- Comment on Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence? 2 weeks ago:
The Prime Directive is that the Federation won’t interfere with the development of a pre-warp society.
While warp capability (or a rough equivalent) is the prerequisite for first contact, the Prime Directive is broader, forbidding intervention in the internal affairs of any non-Federation civilization.

Ni’Var in Discovery does seem to be on that path, particularly with the Romulo-Vulcan faction.
- Comment on Robert Picardo Confirms It's Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor In Starfleet Academy 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s definitely possible that Picardo could play both versions of the character, even if it’s just for a single episode.
But the full-time version on “Academy” will be the original, not the “Living Witness” backup.

Well, the Cerritos is also transformed into a *Galaxy-*class ship by that anomaly, so by your logic, there’s an equal chance that TNG took place in a different universe.
Which is…definitely a thing you could say.
