The only current show that hasn't portrayed them as villains is arguably Lower Decks...
Emony Dax got handsy with Bones in the 2240s, and Audrid died in 2284.
In SNW's 2259ish setting, it should be one of those two.
It's absolutely bizarre to me that the Disney deal didn't include the back catalogue - it seems like that would be a huge asset when it comes to attracting and retaining viewers.
I found it unexpectedly upsetting when the shelving was taking hits from the Breen.
It was a pretty big red flag when they announced that every episode this season would be 1701 minutes long...
Over 800 years, and they still don't know what they're for...
As predicted, it's Captain Rayner's galaxy, and we're all just living in it.
I can see what the various interviews were saying - things are already set up to have a sense of finality, with a strong theme of "moving on" woven throughout just about every character's arc so far.
The "respectful Indiana Jones" vibe is a lot of fun, I hope they can sustain this energy for the rest of the season.
I don't know if this makes me a radical, but I personally think that the truest sign of an advanced civilization is if they're building these things because they can.
Art on equal footing with science, y'know?
If it's directly about Star Trek, you can post it here.
If it's related to Star Trek, but not about Star Trek (for example, "these newly-discovered spiders were named after Star Trek actors," or "this new medical device is kind of like a tricorder, if you squint"), c/Quarks would be the more appropriate community.
I've seen some good reviews of the first couple - I think you have to be into a very specific type of Adult Swim-type humour that was in style about 15 years ago - but the only review I've seen of the latest one was not positive (and this was from a reviewer who quite enjoyed last week's instalment).
But whatever, they're ultimately inconsequential, having been described by Paramount from the very start as "promotional shorts".
Happy "Labour" Day to you, too.
