Oh believe me, there was definitely that on usenet's alt.startrek.whatever at the time and on the various Compuserve and AOL things as well.
Those were the days.
Finally managed to watch this episode. I... don't really know what to think of it.
I didn't like the premises of the plot, neither the "going human" part, nor the engagement dinner game. The inter dimensional beings looked cool, but that whole plot was way underdeveloped.
However I absolutely love to watch these actors play their characters, and the whole look & feel of the show.
So... yeah?

One side note for me:
This show is definitely veering off from "prequel" territory in "full on reboot". It's not so much about specific canon details - more in how the characters are portrayed & defined.
However I don't really care too much, as the show is very entertaining.
I do wonder though where they could possibly still go with the Chapel-Spock-T'Pring love triangle, I don't see a satisfactory resolution to that.
I wish Discovery would have been this good with it's ensemble, so that we could have seen these character dramas with a new crew. Due to the prequel nature of the show, the characters feel strangely boxed in, and it feels the writers are already reaching the absolute limits & beyond of what they can do with them.

pretty much, and they even acknowledge it a couple of episodes ago, saying that the timeline has changed. All considered it’s a wonder that it took them six years: after all casual fans couldn’t care less and core fans either didn’t care either or were annoyed by all the posturing that it was all a single timeline and so on.
Actually, according to La'An and Future Lady the timeline has been restored.
There's only one timeline. Oh, and those movies.
Nearly every Trek series has been male dominated. Is it that bad we're getting female driven ones now? And boy do people like to throw around that w-word a lot. Bring me more Trek like the stuff we got this past week it's what I enjoy.

Same timeline
It's very possible to dislike or disagree with the premise of a film or episode yet to find the execution of that premise to be excellent. I didn't really agree with the premise of PIC S3 ("Let's get the band back together"), but I thought it was very well-executed.
That is a human conception of monogamous morality -- and more specifically, a Western one. Vulcans could have very different ideas about what one's moral obligations are to one's partner when a couple are "on a break."
You know, hearing about how some people apparently were in the 90s talking about Avery Brooks being cast for DS9 and Tim Russ for VGR... makes me glad the first time I ever went online was 1999, and even more glad I never really started becoming part of the ST fandom until 2006 when I went to my first DragonCon.
I mean, 'agenda' in casting Brooks? Really? Only agenda I ever saw was casting a good actor who gave us a family man who was a leader. A damned fine example of fatherhood and leadership, by the way.
If I did actually encounter these people in the 90s, I would likely have never interacted with fans of the franchise.

Yeah. It was not a good time at all.

Yeah, it's gonna be with us for while. Probably well into the 23rd Century.
Everyone knows the conflict in the '90s was the Excedrin Wars. OTC pain medications were a major cause of strife in that decade.
I found a usenet post a while back of someone claiming Avery was an agenda or to PC or some dumb nonsense as that.
No difference.
BTW, there's never been a Trek episode where the Eugenics Wars happened in the 20th century.
There was an episode where centuries later someone said that the Eugenics Wars had taken place in the 1990s. Hard to tell what century it was when Spock said that - could have been anywhere in the range of seven hundred years in which the first season of Star Trek took place. That's based upon things said by characters in the episodes.

I just don't get it. My parents raised me to treat everyone the same, which was a challenge as my mom's dad was raised in the south and struggled at times with some racist ideas. Somehow, though, I managed to grow up with more conservative parents and still see no issue with treating people based on their performance, not some political correctness nonsense.
I blame Mr. Rogers.
