IDIC works because no matter the view the right to say it should be defended
Or send, say, twelve cubes? It’s not like the Collective can’t spare them, since we’ve swarms of them descending on a single planet (that wasn’t Earth).
Maybe it's just me, but I don't let TV shows bug me. It's all escapism, some of Star Trek I like, some of it I don't. I have enough shit in the real world that actually bugs me.
This is why I like to think that either the Federation wasn't really that important to the Borg, or they were testing the Federation the whole time.
It if weren’t for PIC indicating that the Collective really was devastated by Janeway’s actions in “Endgame”, I’d entirely agree.
Don't piss off future Admiral Janeway. Yikes.
Those side effects were a central theme of the episode, so yes!
The phaser bit, TOS had a small hand phaser stun a whole group. DS9 had rifle phaser act like ye olde rifles...
I get why for story purposes, but it really is a glaring issue.
I do wish they did a Short Trek or something where all the tech was remembered, and 32nd century humans were tech-assisted proto-Q.
I think it was mentioned somewhere that Jem'Hadar physiology made them impossible to stun. You killed them or you vaporized them.
My pet peeve is that people discover effective immortality multiple times (Unnatural Selection, Rascals, maybe others), not including the Baku planet, and no one bothers to act on it. Yes, some story characters will choose to turn down immortality (a trope that's been around at least since "The Odyssey"), but it's not going to be universal.
Yeah that is annoying, because if such a place or thing is known there will be some people who will always want to try it or go to that place to try and live a little longer, it's just how some people are.
That could have worked with a lot of tweaking. I'd honestly prefer that TNG's theme didn't use any of Courage's theme. It should have been something entirely new, though I'm not sure McCarthy was the guy to do it.
The Lower Decks intro theme always makes me think of Galaxy Quest
It bothers me that the emergency engineering hologram Ian isn't spelled Eoin to keep the E name convention. But it was never seen written down on screen...
I do always notice when SNW finds a long-lost Starfleet ship wearing the current SNW uniform, or when they flash back to the war and the Klingons have hair...
It's only a TV show. It's only a TV show.
It's only a TV show. It's only a TV show.
McCarthy later said an interview (I don't recall if it was text of audio) that he'd love to revisit that theme one day and flesh it out, give it more bells & whistles.
So in DS9, it bothered to tell us about Klingon ridges... that's great and I got potato chips with ridges too. But it didn't touch on why Dax had different markings to the OG Trill in TNG (in real life, allergies posed a problem). The Caatarians in "The Game" ended up different with (little or no televised explanation) as well. Would it not have been better if it wasn't addressed in the Tribblations episode? There were occasional character changes that can't be explained as easily as "character growth" either.
