It definitely seemed to have clouds the very least. They might have been water vapor.

Nope. The fantasy approach of mono-climate mono-environmental planets is just dandy with fandom. And it fits with fandom's preferred 'planet of hats' approach to alien civilizations too! Why fix what isn't broken? After all, Aliens and Alien worlds in Star Trek are supposed to be allegories and metaphors!
Yeah, right! … And J. Michael Stracynski's Babylon-5 wasn't a rip off of Deep Space 9.
Hollywood's been ripping off and cashing in on Star Trek since the beginning.
in 50 years maybe - but will we get dark blue andorians, too with that? and what will their hair look like?
We could start with the communal mudpits of Tellar if you'd like...
I just laughed at the possibility that there wasn't actually anything weird about the Genesis Planet's climate and Saavik only found it weird because of how used all of Starfleet was to every planet being defined by its one single biome. "It's not a desert planet, not a jungle planet and not a swamp planet either! It has everything, it's impossible!!!"
Not with me. That's one of the reasons I've long thought Trek shouldn't have introduced a new species and a new world every week--it should have gone deeper on the core species and fleshed them out, while hinting there were others. If you go too wide, you end up being incredibly shallow.
It's one of the reasons I like the Rihannsu novel series so much, because it's a deep dive into a race that's only shallowly covered in televised Trek: the Romulans (and their homeworlds.)

Well allegedly B5 was written before DS9 aired, but whatever.
It will look fabulous.
"Allegedly." Fake news.
I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell anyone who buys that load of hooey.
Well considering the plot of B5 is nothing like DS9, I disagree completely either was ripped off from each other.
And Orville is a homage, not a rip off.
As far as I can tell bad science in Star Trek only seems to really matter if its costs $6 a month or so to stream.
andreas katsulas looked a lot better as a narn
Starczynski wrote every single ep of Babyon 5. That's a ton of work. I believe he pretty much completed it before he even pitched it to Paramount. it was probably all written in the 80s.
not all of them but nearly all of them
Yeah, yeah. "Homage," fancy French word that translates to "rip off." Braga is a one trick pony of dubious disposition.
'Homage' is what one calls a rip off they like.
No? There are things I don't like that I still call homages.
I just can't help but love this "the customer is always right" mindset... I've paid a minuscule amount of money for this product, therefore its creator absolutely must cater to my every whim about it. How delusional can people get, really? If $6 per month was enough to make the show completely to my liking, it would be called The Tilly Show and I don't think it would be too popular.
