    Late '90s, early 2000s animation

    Would there have been a effective way for traditional animated films from that time to continue more of the early '90s high or at least been successful enough to at least continue rather than be cut off? To me the situation is really interesting in that by late '90s, early '00s a lot of...

    Sulu as Captain

    Was it actually a good thing, including for Star Trek VI as film and for the rest of the cast also, that George Takei insisted on Sulu having become a captain by then? In particular a lot of people complain about a lot more of the TNG era cast should have moved on, left the ship/advanced in...

    Economic classes categorizations, and usefulness or not

    A lot of people complain about a lot of people falsely claiming they're middle class, either No you're not middle class you're rich or No you're not middle class you're actually barely betting by. Being really literal middle class would apply to the middle third. But does it actually make sense...

    Are there any good reasons to not want to be in the Federation?

    I think whenever we see someone complaining about the Federation or otherwise not wanting to be in it, wanting to leave it it seems to be just general xenophobia/species supremacism but could there be other reasons that are not at least directly based on antagonism against others? There can be...

    What if Lincoln had not been assassinated?

    If he had finished his presidency? How do you think he would have deal with the defeated Confederate states? Pretty much any way of dealing with them would probably be more controversial than just he would have done good/right/better than his successors. And especially if he had lived for...

    Why wasn't Sisko promoted at the start of Season 3?

    With adding the Defiant, wouldn't making Sisko captain contribute more, and made sense at the time, to the sense that the show/character had come into his own and that the situation was with the frontier was getting more and more tense? Did the writers think just adding the Defiant was enough...

    Would Trek be bigger now if

    Discovery and the other new shows actually had aired on CBS?

    How would you have made a TNG cast movie

    In which Worf was actually a very prominent character, the lead or second or third lead after Picard and/or Data? How would you follow up on his character stories from TNG and maybe Deep Space Nine or could it work with his character being consistent but not directly following up a previous story?

    Is 24th Century Trek a bad, or good, analogy to climate change?

    We discovered high warp speeds damage the environment in 1994-equivalent, there initially is some alarm and regulations/suggestions and hope to do more with others, then the suggestions are routinely frequently ignored rather than problem fixed or mitigated as there are just a lot more pressing...

    Why was 7/C so disliked?

    The relationship did definitely come suddenly but I thought in both "Human Error" and "Endgame" it was plausible enough and pretty moving. Yet there generally seems to be, for a long time, a lot of slamming of that it was really dumb or crazy thrown in at last minute, some even saying offensive...

    Why was Indiana Jones upset at the end of Raiders?

    At the government for apparently misplacing and/or hiding away the Ark? Did he think it should try to be used as energy or weapon against the Nazis or did he just want it to be displayed in a museum, if so why did he feel so strongly that way? The film itself I think seemed to argue more...

    Is Vader's redemption really much of a change?

    He supposedly redeems himself by sacrificing himself to save Luke. But wouldn't he have been willing to sacrifice himself in Revenge of the Sith to save Padme (except for right when he thinks she betrayed him)? If so does his character really change or improve much? Was he pulled back to the...

    If Geordi had remained helmsman

    Rather than becoming chief engineer, and thus with less development or leadership that he did get, what he be about as made fun of as Harry Kim? His main aspect really being just being not successful with ladies and not changing?

    What would be an appropriate response by the Romulans

    To learning that the Federation deceived them into joining the war against the Dominion? Also how do you think the Klingons would react? And how would the Bajorans react, to that in general and to that Sisko was involved?

    How would you make a good Wesley finale?

    I think there's general agreement that "Journey's End" was a pretty weird and disappointing last appearance of and farewell to Wesley. What could have been better? With him not being in the main cast for so long, just not bring him back to give him a finale in season 7? Let "The First Duty" end...

    Are fans actually usually right?

    Fans tend to be, are sometimes made fun of for being, hostile to a new sequel or adaptation coming out, expect that it will be really bad, and the producers and others fans beg give it a chance, you always hate something before it's released and then are won over. But how often does that really...

    Intentions behind Archer?

    With Archer being the son of warp drive developer Henry Archer, did Berman & Braga intend for the viewers to wonder if he, including or especially in making first captain, benefited from nepotism? Also with him having that ancestry and being the captain leader fulfilling his father's work and...

    (Why) Has streaming been able to avoid a negative connotation?

    Why doesn't it have the bad cheap connotation that direct-to-video used to have, still have? Or does it to a degree actually have that connotation, if so how have some platforms been able to mitigate or overcome it?

    Isn't it weird that we abandoned

    The ability to record TV shows? I guess people by now do have enough entertainment options, and have generally gotten a lot less interested in broadcast TV, but that is a big thing to just give up and not have anymore even over time. It probably was related with/correlated to decline in...

    Should we fear and resent robots?

    Are they and will they be taking our jobs? Destroying jobs, occupations, livelihoods for people even if it does lead to lower prices for the rich and upper-middle class while the lower income groups get much lower? If they are, will be taking the jobs, should the resentment be just against the...
