Never inject tardigrade DNA into your bloodstream

Actually, any possible commentaries or "lessons" are supposed to take a back seat to entertaining storytelling, instead of being the main point. That was emphasized in the original 1967 Star Trek writer's guide.

We don't need to be lectured and preached at.

Always shoot first. Ask questions later.

Sleep with a phaser under your pillow.

Sleep with your boss but throw her under the bus when she threatens your job.

No matter how badly you fuck up, you may get another chance.
