Despite the series' popularity with...people like us, I don't think the numbers were where Paramount+ wanted them. It seems like they have issues with animation in general, which is a damn shame.

I disagree with the premise - I think the series as a whole stands as a testament to the Federation prevailing over adversity - it's one of the prevailing themes of the series.

Even the Burn didn't destroy the Federation as you suggest. It became smaller as travel and communication became difficult-to-impossible, but it still existed, and Starfleet was doing everything it could to maintain the peace.

Time to start growing that beard...

I think it's definitely a bubble that will burst eventually.

At the same time, I don't think there's any way to put the toothpaste back in the tube. This technology is out there, and even once the hype has died down, we're going to be dealing with it forever.

Could someone please adapt this video into a full-length stage musical? That's the only type of content I consume so it's only reasonable for someone to do this for me.

In interviews the producers of Voyager have said they felt Locarno's actions in that episode made him "irredeemable". (TNG Season 5 DVD-special feature, Memorable Missions Year Five: "The First Duty")

It looks like they may have done some frenzied patching after this went viral.

I don't think I've ever heard of that being relevant to streaming shows.

Since the only country in which LD airs on tv is Canada, and it streams there as well, I doubt it's a factor.

I can confirm that you're not the only one experiencing intermittent sluggishness, and we're aware of the issue.

We still need to determine whether it's a problem within our control, but we are aware.

Please make sure your language settings have BOTH "Undetermined" and "English" selected. That is the culprit 90% of the time.

She was in command of the Cayuga in "A Quality of Mercy" as well - it seems that's her regular gig, and she was assigned Una's prosecution because...well, that's how Starfleet rolls, I guess.
