  Seriously, because she’s from a different universe, her actions of committing genocide and torture across any number of star systems are irrelevant?

  If Starfleet doesn’t care what people do “in their own space”, how could they ever have a problem with anything? Just declare yourself a ruler, obviously democracy doesn’t play into it, and you decide what you can do anywhere you are.

  You mean part of a single episode.

  No. They kept her around like she wasn’t someone who should be imprisoned for life, far removed from any position where she could manipulate others.

  If they wanted to help others, there was a universe full of people more deserving. Two, even.

  Not to mention the fact you say after TNG that the older style was dead as if Voyager doesn’t exist.

  Yep.

  Lucky they made DS9 before TNG had even finished, then.

  We didn’t really get more of the TNG side of things with the TNG movies. Then they moved on to JJA Star Trek, which wasn’t much of anything, not dark, not utopian, just references.

  While Discovery was in part based around rescuing an ultra-fascist from another universe.

  It took bringing back Picard himself to approach doing what they once did decades ago.

  Yeah, that’s not any kind of improvement, that’s just moving your hours around. People can do that. Shouldn’t need to. The 40 hour workweek is way out of date, 32 hours is barely catching up to where we should be by now.

  Who are the landlords selling to? Are the properties that disappear from the market used for homes, or something else?

  More people selling should mean house prices going down.

  Reroll at what point? “Hey, kids, today you’ll learn about resurrection, and what that booth is for”. There could be billions of people with no clue about the rules, let alone trust in how it would work.

  Ideally it would mean everyone’s united in improving society for everyone and especially raising minimum standards, when you could end up as anyone.

  Shows how broken the internet was and still is, basically the homeland of the internet is incapable of building internet pages that comply with basic regulation.
