    Property rights and commerce in Trek, some musings

    So we know that the general gist of the way things work, on Earth at least, is that you are provided with a place to live, supplies and food, and you don't have to do anything in return because fusion and replication have made that so "cheap". Raffi is doing this when we meet her in Picard...

    "The Apple" and a backstory for Gamma Trianguli Six

    Over in the colonialism thread, @Arpy commented that the inhabitants of Gamma Trianguli Six might not have been responsible for the creation of Vaal. That got me thinking about how the whole situation might have gotten started in the first place. We know that Vaal have complete control over...

    Ship Nicknames!

    With "Disco" being a thing in universe, and a "Ritos" T-Shirt showing up on Lower Decks next week, I think it's time to figure out nicknames for other ships we've seen. I don't think they necessarily have to be diminutives of the name. "Big E" makes way more sense for the Enterprise than...

    What happens to TWOK if TMP keeps the TOS uniforms?

    Seeing the Phase II test footage recently made me think about how changing the to the drab uniforms in TMP was a relatively late decision. Lets suppose that the producers aren't ever convinced that everyone will wear pastels in the future, and TMP is made with TOS uniforms. Cut to the making...

    20 producers in Discovery opening credits, seriously?

    So I counted 20 credits for various varieties of producer (producer, co-producer, executive, consulting, etc) This seems excessive for the opening credits. For one thing this is the first time the producers have been in the opening credits, and second I did a couple spot checks and it doesn't...

    Just how allegorical was TOS?

    There has been much talk lately of Star Trek as allegorical fiction. I've invoked that view myself on multiple occasions. But lately I've been thinking, How many episodes are actually allegories of real world situations? I should note I'm drawing a distinction between allegory and simple...

    Spock has met Carol before but not David.

    Something that I've always found interesting in TWOK is the unstated history between Carol Marcus and Spock. He knows her on sight during the Genesis Video and they greet each other warmly on the transporter pad. KIRK: You remember Doctor Marcus... SPOCK: Why, of course. CAROL: Hello, Mister...

    Episodes with no humans (except companions)?

    I've recently introduced my girlfriend to Doctor Who, we've been taking non chronological trip through 9, 10, and 11. Anyway, she asked me if there were any episodes where the only human is the Doctor's companion (or companions as the case may be). Any other characters would have to be aliens...

    The Princess and the Frog

    Anybody seen this yet? I haven't, but I've been interested because of it's role in the rebirth of Disney 2D animation. How is it and how are the kids in the audience reacting? Was Lassiter right in thinking that people don't care if it's traditional or computer animated as long as the story is...
