My thoughts on this episode:
I feel like the homophobia moment isn’t terrible in the conception that Joel is the kind of guy who had two good friends (literally two of his ONLY friends) as gay men that he accepted and probably didn’t think of himself as prejudiced but reacted badly when it was...
I wouldn't mind if they went with the "Best Ending" and Rydek doesn't lose anyone. The determinant characters can mostly be "healed" and maybe come back from their T'Koning. Either that or Captain Rydek will just have an entirely new bridge crew of familiar faces.
She could also just show up in...
1. I took it as Mackenzie IN SPACE.
2. Yes, part of why I love it. More horny Trek Lit.
3. Calhoun is different genre savvy than the rest of Star Trek and a lot more bloodthirsty than most Starfleet captains. However, usually the narrative backs him up. Still, you could make an argument that...
Finished the game and had some mild thoughts:
1. I feel like Bedrosian was a character you should have had the option of making peace with because her resignation over not committing genocide felt like something that just didn't feel like Star Trek. I wanted to make her my first officer (even...
I loved it and would love to see more Captain Rydek.
Was the game perfect?
No, but I would love three things:
1. A novelization of the game that would canonize events (as much as such a thing exists) with the "good" ending as much as possible.
2. At least some follow up on what happened like...
Okay, tell me how many I have to show to convince you. I'll provide them.
Because the point is that some writers think Star Trek needs to be darker and edgy for modern audiences and I don't it has to be.
I mean, that's a misreading because it's not the plague that ends the war. The Founders intended to order a massive Jihad of the Jem'hadar on all Alpha Quadrant species as their dying act that would have wiped out civilization.
It's the fact humans and Odo chose to provide the cure that...
Just to be clear, you actually are not going to address the content of my point but instead merely play a numbers game?
How many do I have to present and what evidence to convince you?
Serious question.
Anyone actually more interested in this guy's story than the protagonists?
Think about it.
Guy could be 50,000 years old and watched his civilization destroy itself in a civil war over nothing.
And he's at that bar surrounded by oddballs of every sort drinking.
Section 31 is a fantastic antagonist.
But some writers who actively hate Trek idealism truly believe they're the missing ingredient for the Federation to exist.
These writers should never be allowed to write a script again.
I feel the Burn ruined the story because I loved visiting the future...but expected them to return to the 22nd century.
You know, WHERE THE PLOT WAS.
They also rebuilt the Federation in one season and had no interest in it as a long term idea.
I know but it'd be nice if they could get some adaptations and proper credit. Doctor Who adopted quite a few bits of inspiration from the audiobooks and, of course, "The Family of Blood."
I assume we all agree that the show canonically establishes that the DISCO Klingons....are the result of Klingons being exposed to quantum radiation.
:D
There was a time crystal explosion that hit much of the Empire.
I appreciate the way that blood feuds among Klingons got depicted this episode. Killing one man doesn’t get rid of a problem, it just inspires his relatives to seek vengeance. First the brother and then the sister. It’s pretty much why vendettas are a bad things in real life (beyond vengeance in...
