Don’t underestimate the power of “We need a cheap episode, where’s the literal decades of western props we keep in storage?”

I like the meme, but I hate how everyone ships these two, it’s one of the few platonic male friendships in media with depth, I’m saying this as an Aro/Ace person.

Is it weird I don’t mind Crusher but can’t stand Wheaton?

Yo, if you don’t mind a bit of the Clone Wars getting in your Trek, Prodigy is a fantastic watch, Admiral Janeway is in the running for my favorite Star Fleet officer.

I think they brought her back in an attempt to backpedal the absolute fucking disaster that was season 1. I honestly enjoy Discovery as sci-fi, but when I rewatch Season 1 I can’t shake the feeling they took another IPs pilot and stretched Star Trek over it like a horrible skinsuit.

I am stealing that mmand name for tabletop

It a solid series, a bit more Star Wars than I’d like but that’s to be expected given the target audiences age. Also Admiral Janeway gets shit fucking done, like her more than Captain Janeway in that regard

On the one hand, Neelix would do his best… On the other Missy would turn him inside out within seconds

She did overcome her android prejudice, she also apologized to Data and they were even friends by the time season 3 rolls around

Except she did. She even apologized to Data

Bester was one of the best things about B5

And the DMA aliens

Grizzlies are infamous for not waiting til you’re dead to start eating.

As time has gone on I’ve come to the conclusion Discovery started as the pilot of another show they stretched a Star Trek skin onto

Pretty much, the Ship’s main computer doesn’t even have the ability to learn user preferences.

Star Trek tries to avoid using fully sapient AI, in fact it’s illegal for fully integrated ship components to be sapient in Starfleet ships. It’s why the ships computer can solve nearly any problem you give it, but it can’t give you anything unless you ask the correct question.

Which one? Spot is played by a different cat every episode

Just for the record I agree with you, but the opposite of that final question is true, why shouldn’t she be a white dude, or a PoC man? Ranching/farming isn’t a job that requires a specific gender or sex.

Apparently they didn’t, the man canonical continues working after they rescue him

That happens the first time you use a transporter. Those things kill you and print a copy elsewhere that thinks it’s you
