They had one ship that was guarding that station, and it popped up next to the Athena in "Come, Let's Away". It's supposedly a highly classified place with lots of highly dangerous weapons... but only ONE ship guards it? It's both incompetant AND arrogant because they think it's so secure only 1 ship was necessary.

They were also arrogant in thinking Braka wasn't a big enough threat to them.
Fair enough. On top of that one ship, it got taken out with the first volley.

When they made that ship they took the idea of the boombox from ST4 and installed in on a ship. They really wanted to try it on man eating bats.
 
What do you expect, for them to look like a Best Buy store?
Somewhere well-lit might be an interesting change. An abandoned mall on an abandoned planet stripped of all useful materials and resources after the burn. (Of course then everyone would bitch about how it looked like a mall because that's what we do right?.) Anyway, there's a lot of smuggling that takes place in broad daylight here on earth. It's just kind of a tedious cliche.
 
There's pretty much been headcanon going back to the TOS era that while what's stated within the episode is canon, what's shown onscreen isn't, necessarily.

I think it's important to keep that in mind, considering how lazy the folks putting background graphics together have been in the modern era.

I'm 100% not someone who thinks that everything Berman Trek is better, but I do think having someone like the Okudas would really help the franchise.

Wasn't the Emerald Chain sketchy hive of villainy from the first episode of DIS Season 3 pretty well lit?
 
That's kind of my point, though... the copy and pasting of that map from 800 years prior. As I mentioned in my review, it's things like that that really doesn't show they care much for the details.
Considering they literally just copied the map from the old Star Charts book without regard to context or anything (as is quite common going all the way back to Disco S1) I wouldn't be so quick to claim that proves anything.

Well it's not a 1:1 copy. They did add symbols for some of the new species
 
Sure, your random middle schoolers. Not the elite space college attendees. Clunky dialog for sure.

But, I enjoyed this one more than last week's, so I'm not complaining.
Young people are young people.

I get what you are saying. I tried to defend Anakin's I hate sand in AOTC the same way. But no one bought it. 😂 But i think this is the same level cringe or worse.. If anything Tarima sounds like a delicious dessert or fruit. 😂
If people are bringing it's because they refuse to acknowledge being young and dumb.

It breaks my brain the utter lack of sympathy towards being college age by many Trek fans and just insulting them as much as possible. Heaven forbid you be young and inexperienced and say things that you think sound good. Let's all pooh-pooh the unenlightened plebes.
 
Its all that programmable matter, makes their hulls extra weak.


Lol. Yup. 900 years Kirk and the tech actually seens worse. 800 years after tng and the tng tech seemed more reliable. I would take the Enterprise D over the Athena any day. Again not being able go find a replacement for diluthium is just pure incompetence. Zephram Cochrane built a war capable ship without dilithium. Dangerous? Yes. But he did it. Im shocked that 31st and 32nd cebtury technology couldn't find a solution. Maybe if they didn't get so emotional all the time they could actually work at things and improve their technology.

I agree, for the most part.

But when you get a graphic that takes up pretty much the entire tv screen, such as Sisko's family tree, it's hard not to see it as part of what is supposed to be... and the obvious errors REALLY end up being grating.
 
Actually I can't recall a single time in previous Trek that a single shot against a ship with full shields was enough to knock out the transporter.

Its becoming a sfa trope. Go out into space get hit by one phasers blast and the transporters go offline. Lol. When the furst introduced the transporters badges in STD they were supposed to gave been a actual tiny transporter in the badge. Would have made technological sense. A futuristic transporter 900 years removed, minaturized and better than the TOS and Bernan era ship transporters. But they decided to scale back the tech because it made things too easy so now the badges only work when they are connected to the ships main transporter. Data came up with that in the 24th century in Nemesis. Im not impressed with 32nd century tech.

That's always been Star Trek.

This has been a problem since TOS. As David Gerrold explains:

>If the transporter had been designed for the express purpose (pun intended) of getting our heroes into the story faster, then it also allowed them to get out of it just as quickly. Any time Captain Kirk got himself into real trouble, all he needed to do was call the Enterprise and holler, “Scotty! Save my ass!” and Scotty would beam him up so fast the air would crackle.
