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. And I guess not let the actor have too much say over the script, if that’s what messed up the movies.

I might wait until 2024 just to have all the threads in the same year. Thinking one thread per season at this point, pending character limit challenges.

TNG was close to having a transgender episode, “The Outcast”, but they were stuck in their time and didn’t really make any kind of statement.

TOS made several comments on religion and running into powerful beings. In particular “Who Mourns for Adonais?”, which would’ve been a great take if not for Kirk saying “Mankind has no need for gods. We find the one quite adequate”.

A monopoly trying to lock in browsers isn’t going to last in the EU.

Yeah, I should’ve made that rewatch rather than review. Changed the title.

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

Need to use up all your storage before you feel a need to pay for more.

We can tell where in the Sol system a meteorite is from, based on no technological residue at all. And we can tell where something has been constructed on Earth by analyzing it, because of what it picks up from the environment in the process, so I assume it would be obvious when something had been made by an alien civilization in an alien star system on an alien world.

One thing we didn’t need more of was Michael. Which also made what could’ve been a normal pregnancy into something outright stupid.

The general idea is fine, turning Wraith into people they could work with. And it going wrong is fine too, but they didn’t build anything with it. They even used the Michael plot to attempt to undo a mistake they shouldn’t have, because it was too late.

But that was just a few million years ago. We have common ancestors with other apes older than that, and are related to all other life on the planet evolving across hundreds of millions of years (multicellular life). And even if you picked up an ape to somehow genetically engineer it to look identical to life with a completely different biological history, the evolutionary pressures for that species from that point on are all from the environment it exists within.

One thing Stargate didn’t have enough of, was truly alien aliens. The Milky Way Replicators were the closest thing. The Goa’uld were just appearing as people, the Ancients were probably humans from the future (because the identical evolution hypothesis makes no sense), the Nox were hippy Ancients and not seen much anyway. The Wraith might’ve been the most numerous alien organism, but apparently they were also a byproduct of a human-like species.

Potentially everyone except the Asgard and that anti-terraforming civilization were derived from life on Earth. Edit: Also one or two in Universe, who I wish had had more screen time.

I would’ve liked to see them do more with the Tok’ra and humans volunteering, after Jacob (who didn’t really have much time to consider it), to show that the Tok’ra really are who they claim they are. Or, that they’re not and make that more of a story, because with how they were using Tanith’s host, they didn’t seem to care that much about humans.

Also would’ve liked to see the Asgard get more involved in de-snaking people, and maybe that could’ve led to a confrontation between the Asgard and the Tok’ra.

Good to see the naming issue was sorted out. I wanted to do another full franchise review in the near future, and looks like this is the place for it.
