Well said. And it's been an enjoyable journey throughout.
Some of the stories have been lackluster here and there, but that in itself is Star Trek. Not every show/game/story is going to be for everyone, yet beautifully all are welcome as trekkers/trekkies.
I'm kinda curious about the Badgey ground pet, but I don't want to drop Lobi on it because it might just be a vanity dud.

Ja, but that is gut, nicht? :-)
Fun tangent with this blog: Did anyone else notice the typo? As far as I have seen, I think it's Fero's first typo in a blog. Gotta keep that Cryptic tradition, I guess. Hahaha

Indeed, I find that the multiverse stuff is actually dis-engaging me from the story because it doesn't cohesively connect with what feels like Trek to me. Of course, neither does the warp-in-destroy-everything-warp-out either. So, ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not sure. Perhaps "Captain and Crew Test" isn't the right way to look at it either. ST:LD seems to do a good job of not focusing too much on one story or character per episode, so it avoids failure even if every character is "the captain".
There would have to be some way of reworking the criteria to evaluate overall balance (as mentioned elsewhere in this thread) rather than just Captain and Crew, I guess.
Regardless, that's a really good question. Hmmmm
Definitely and many that fail. I wonder if it works as a measure based on percentage of the show as a whole. Then again, it really doesn't matter at all; I only noticed that I get annoyed with certain shows which overuse a single savior for the show's overall story.
I agree with and second many of your statements in here. Well said! A couple specific points I want to highlight:
Paul and Hugh
I really enjoyed those plots, especially about loss.
There was also no single overarching plot, so Picard could play a flute and live the life of an alien for a whole episode without derailing any story plans. The “monster of the week” approach also helped inspire some real good moral and philosophical debate that would otherwise never would’ve been written into a single story, but also some of the most cringeworthy TV I’ve seen.
I think this is the core of the issue for what I enjoy and don't enjoy with many Star Trek shows. Surprisingly to me, Expanse does this fine whereas Trek/Who/SG-1 would trip over it and have.
In general, great reply with excellent points. Thank you!
Hahaha
I was wondering (and hoping) someone would post some meme like that in reply.
That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for providing the links to the various segments!
