Look, managing tone is kind of just a fact of getting along with people, isn't it? When someone sounds angry and disparaging, that's never as much fun to engage with as someone who sounds thoughtful. That's not exactly a new standard or idea, and it isn't tone policing. That's conversation, discourse, whatever. That's what I do when I voice a critique of this show.
Talking about meth and snowflakes doesn't make people excited to engage, you know?
Not especially, no.
If only we could Make Thread Debates Great Again.

The good old days. Like the types of debates we had in the late-'90s and early-2000s. The VOY Forum and ENT Forum were both examples of thought-provoking Great Debate at their most civil. An example for the rest of the Internet to follow. The moderators were only there as a formality because those forums practically moderated themselves. It was so amazing...
... wait a minute. Let me take those rose-tinted glasses off. Sorry about that.
Isn't the episode title a huge spoiler to the punchline 48 minutes later?
Trip's Not Dead!
Oh. Sorry. Excuse me. Flashbacks get pretty intense when I hear helicopters.

I remember nothing but the utmost civility in between the Deep Space 9 and Voyager forums, as well as the Enterprise forums later.

My profile might say I'm a n00b, but I remember the Archer/T'Pol and Trip/T'Pol ship wars here.
*We're all still n00bs.
What was your profile name back in the day?
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who wasn't here when Bill Clinton was President is still a n00b!
If you were here at least before 9/11, you're on Conditional Status.

I'm guessing there are more to come given all the notifications about you in the BR, so...
I don't think I posted using it. I can't find anything when I search. I got rid of the username a decade ago, and made sure it was gone when I decided to sign up again. I am mindful of the "alt" rule.

Who was that writer who said before season 1 started, that Saru's storyline in Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum made him cry?
That guy must have been wracked with shoulder shaking sobs during "Charon". Doug Jones and SM-G were stellar in their performances and have, I think, become DSC's Spock/Kirk in terms of their relationship.
I'm loving this season's emphasis on character. I think season 1 had character stuff, but this season, each episode has delved into characters while pursuing whatever the episode's main storyline was. Just outstanding so far.
Number 1 was very intriguing. Just like Pike,she seems to have a rebellious streak. Her lack of scenes in this episode, is probably a signal that she is going to be heavily involved later in the season.
Also, shout out to everyone who took Saru and Stammets to task in Point of Light for not asking "May" what she wanted before pulling her out of Tilly. It's a serialized show, guys, what some of you may see as a "plothole" could very well be resolved in the next episode. Also, be sure to check the "previously on..." section of the opening. During Ent's seasons 3 and 4, many "plothoes" were filled in right there.
I joined in the spring of 2001. I'm old school enough to remember when we didn't even have the option of avatars. And the Great Post Purge of 2002.
And at the rate my comment is going, the invention of the internal combustion engine.

You know what's amazing? I remember when the JJTrek was first announced and a lot of new people signed up thinking that - even then - I felt like an old timer.As far as I'm concerned, anyone who wasn't here when Bill Clinton was President is still a n00b!

Yeah. Well. I just did the math.
Ah the great post purge. The legend of "Interregnum" lost to time.
