General Trek Questions and Observations

And Trek needs to stop bringing back crappy characters. Here's lookin' at you, Okona/"Star Trek: Lower Decks"...

 

[kkt]

Let his story end with "Mudd's Passion(TAS)." We don't need him back just because Enterprise and "ooooh, but it'd be cool because it's going to be Kirk's ship in a few years." We don't need to bring back everyone who even gets a passing mention in TOS.

Yes. For one thing, Mudd was pretty impressed with the Enterprise when he came aboard in Mudd's Women, not like he'd been there before.

Yeah, Star Trek has become way too self-referential.

 

[Oddish]

No it hasn't.

Here's a VOY/STO question... do you think there are races who electively turn their dead over to the Kobali to give them another chance?

 

[Detached Nacelle]

I could see the Klingons maybe since they believe the body is just an empty husk once the spirit has successfully bon voyaged.

On an only very slightly related topic, I wonder what some species life expectancies are, like do saurian humanoids live longer like reptiles do and would Caitians for example have a shorter life expectancy

 

[Nerys Myk]

Stray thought.
Could Thelev from "Journey To Babel" be a blue Orion?
It would make the disguise easier to accomplish.

I would think Klingons, since they believe in an afterlife, would be less interested. A species that regards death as the end of the line might appreciate the idea of a second chance, especially with some of your memories intact.

This is now in my head canon

Another reason I think the creators of Lower Decks and Prodigy cared just a tinsy bit more than the creators of the NuTrek live action shows is they included the name of each episode on screen.

How is that an indicator of anything other than changing customs in how television is presented in this decade?

 

[Oddish]

Maybe it isn't, but I like it better.

 

[Farscape One]

Agreed.

I also find memorizing all the titles far easier when the title is on the screen.

It's a personal opinion.

I can't really speak to Prodigy, but I feel sure that this was done in Lower Decks simply because they were consciously echoing the conventions of 90s Trek, most particularly TNG.
