Definitely my favourite episode of the season so far. It's nice to have a classic "planet with weird stuff going on" ep every now and then.

This reminds me, I was watching Voyager recently and in that show one of the first new species they meet in the Delta Quadrant (the aliens in "Time and Again") are completely identical to humans. And nobody on Voyager seems to think that to be strange in spite of the distance between Earth and...

On the one hand, I'd be fine with MACOs coming back - or Starfleet Security acting a bit more like MACOs - because it does make sense given that Starfleet (in spite of their pretensions) is at least partially a military. If they're going to take on the duties of a military, that means sometime...

This. It's a thing you inject and it enhances your reflexes, strength, etc. Makes you fight real good, basically. Not that outlandish in a world with teleportation and warp drive (hell, both the Axis and Allies gave their soldiers drugs in WWII to improve their concentration). We don't need to...

I've seen some fans use USS Titanic for their fan designs. It always makes me wonder "why." Titanic wasn't a military ship lost in combat and her name is the name perhaps most associated with, well, maritime disaster. I would not want to serve on the USS Titanic. In terms of famous ocean liner...

I think three timelines works decently well in broad strokes, but ultimately in my view chasing down details to try to put together some sort of actually coherent set of timelines would result in more than three and is ultimately not worth the effort. Anyways, controversial opinion = Data's...

Worth noting that planetary destruction isn't too unfamiliar for the Federation. The main alpha quadrant powers can't blow a planet to smithereens in an instant, but they can kill everything on it pretty quickly. The Romulans and Cardassians for example estimated that their initial bombardment...

Trek vs Wars power level fights are some of the oldest squabbles on the internet. Basic gist is that Star Wars ships are much, much faster than Trek ships, and much more numerous, while Trek ships potentially have more "tricks," so to speak (better tactical FTL, transporters, etc). As for...

Would prefer less aztecing on the hull, but in terms of the shape this has become my favourite interpretation of the Constitution class.

Halo's ship naming is often amazing. In Amber Clad is still one of my favourite sci fi ship names, maybe my favourite out of any original ship name (as opposed to Enterprise which is obviously taken from real world history). We've had some already. DS9's USS Bellerophon and USS Centaur come to...

I'd say it was a mixed first episode for me. There was some stuff that I really liked. The design of the mining planet was very nice - one of the great things about modern Trek is that we get to see actually cool looking planets, a thing that TNG era Trek always struggled with (mostly for...

25th century ships should have holographic yeoman.

The Centaur is weirdly popular lol. Seems like a love it or hate it kind of ship. I can imagine a lot of them being pumped out during the Dominion War as a sort of fast interdictor, which would partially explain their proliferation in canon. Then again, it's mostly a fool's errand to try to make...

Ortegas has the kind of confidence and swagger that suits the time period. The way the actor approaches the role is obviously much more modern than what would have been seen in TOS, but the attitude is fitting imo. She also reminds me a bit of Tom Paris.

To be honest it's a bit unusual to see them split their shows across the TOS era (SNW), post-TNG era (LD, Prodigy, Picard, Legacy if that happens) and 32nd century (Disco, Starfleet Academy). I do wonder if they will cut one of these settings off. My guess is that the TOS era productions will be...

I think the assumed strength (or lack therefor of) on the part of the Klingons ultimately comes down to a mild breakdown in terms of what we are told and what we are shown. We are told that the Klingons are still on par with the Federation as of TNG (and even stronger, militarily, in Yesterday's...

Personally think they should keep the personal names to smaller ships, and not name larger/more powerful ships after people. That was basically how the US Navy did things during the first half of the 20th century. Trek for a long while mostly stuck to that, perhaps unintentionally so. I think...

USS Yamato and USS Kongo are canon names. It'd be neat seeing some more Japanese ones, like USS Shoukaku or USS Akatsuki.

Oh yeah, realistically TOS Klingons will not return since they're kind of just a mix of bronzeface and Asiatic features. The only series I can kinda imagine featuring them again would be Lower Decks.

Perhaps I'm being a bit too uncreative, but I am fine with Prodigy going with an Intrepid-class looking ship (assuming that is what they will do). The "pointed arrow" look pioneered by the design of Voyager and seen on the Prometheus, Nova, and Dauntless in VOY has now taken a bit of a back seat...
