What show is the second row from?

Wasn’t this the catalyst for the “humans are space orcs” meme?

They absolutely better have a William Boimler episode this season. I will be very disappointed if they don’t.

I’m hoping for a fun romp where William takes Brad along on a dark op. With Tendi. Cause her dark op sequence was just terrific. I love seeing that Orion pirate it up.

Could you imagine the glory that would be a Garak vs. Boimler episode?

Must have.

Birthright. Part 1.

Thanks. I honestly couldn’t recall them in any official canon. But I am playing STO at the moment and they’re in that as allies of the Klingons so I assumed there was more to their story that I just wasn’t remembering.

While I agree that Trek is all about finding common ground, I just hope they don’t humanize the Gorn too much. While I’m no Trekologist I don’t think the Gorn become “friendly” until much later in the time line (like late TNG era). Someone nerdier than me please correct me if I’m wrong.

I’m a little alone on this from what I can see from various forums, but I like the hideous and alien format of this iteration of the Gorn. I hope they continue to at least Cold War this relationship for another season or five.

+1 for Loctite! Use the good stuff and it’ll never unscrew.

Also, the sticks aren’t shorter, you’re just bigger.

My friend. Watch Strange New Worlds. Best Trek since TNG (imho).

It does lean a little towards the silly more than I’d generally like, but even the silly is good.

And the cross over episode was top notch.

Examples?

I, and many others, think this is great Trek. I’m just curious if you can articulate what you find un-Trek about this show.

FTR: All other Trek we’ve had so far has been essentially from the perspective of the elite of the Trek universe. Now we’re just seeing the universe from the “worker class”. It’s just a different perspective, but still holds to the ideals of Roddenberry Trek I feel.

The basic scuttlebutt is as follows:

1. Gates McFadden was fired after first season because of a personality conflict between her and the head writer. Sexism apparently played a role in this mutual dislike.

2. Diane Muldaur (Pulaski) was brought in to be more of a Bones-esque character. Muldaur reportedly did not like the show too much and never intended to stay on for more than a season. Her character was declared a failed experiment and she was not offered a renewal. Which was cool with her as she went on to LA Law.

3. The writer McFadden had an issue with was fired after season 2 and McFadden was offered the role as Crusher once again.

And now you know the rest of the story.

I also suggest Strange New Worlds. It’s the best Trek since TNG (imo). There are certainly some silly parts and some episodes do lean a little more towards comedy then I’d like in my Trek, but even still. It’s good Trek.
