They produced Into Darkness and Beyond, so they at least have some history with the franchise.
I assume you don't care about spoilers, but just in case...
Discovery season three spoilers
There have indeed been some significant setbacks over the centuries.
First there were the temporal wars, the full ramifications of which have not been fully explored, but were likely pretty devastating.
These were followed by the one-two punch of a dilithium supply crisis, followed by "The Burn," which caused most of the existing dilithium supplies to go inert and/or explode. This had the effect of making interstellar travel extremely challenging, and many planets became isolationist in the name of protecting themselves.
These issues have all been resolved, but they had a large impact on the development of...everyone, really.
She never did - they canned it in favour of the shots after screen/make-up testing.
Edit: Bonus, kind-of-gross context!
Initially, the DS9 writing staff simply didn't like Michael Westmore's alterations to make the Odan headpiece look more feminine. Apparently, after Terry Farrell had put on the Odan forehead appliance, someone looked at her and said to Westmore, "What did you do to her head, she used to be beautiful?" Instead of changing species, as they'd already come to like the idea of an "old man", a person with centuries of experience to guide Sisko, Westmore suggested to "just give her spots like we gave Famke," who played a Kriosian in TNG: "The Perfect Mate". This make-up was used on all Trill afterwards.
I think you might be able to draw a parallel with long-running serials like comic books, or even Star Trek itself. They tend to revisit old themes and revolve around a certain status quo.
They tend not to involve multigenerational obedience to an authoritarian regime, though...
It's an RCAF Challenger jet.
Aaron J. Waltke: "Prodigy has cracked Netflix Top 10 lists in six different countries and counting."
Paramount+ cancelled it, but CBS Studios sold it to Netflix and it remains in production. Season 2 will debut there in 2024.
I think single-issue elections are a myth, but there's no doubt that that's top-of-mind for a lot of people right now.
Or were they secretly hunting for the alien ship?
It was this - they're investigating the destroyed vessels.
I'm fine with Chapel being stuck there - I think the tension comes from the overall Spock/Chapel emotional arc, rather than wondering whether she will survive - but the sequence practically demands a second scan with the newfangled tricorders to verify that there are no other life signs on the ship.
Just send them an e-mail reminding them that the economics of the future are somewhat different, and money doesn't exist in the 24th century.
I think at the time they lacked sufficient information to modulate the shields, which is why moving the ship into the astroids seemed logical.
Not everything needs to be ranked.
