I think Equinox was a really good story about what a starfleet crew looks like if they abandon their principles in order to get home.

Deep Space 9 is the first ST show to have season long arcs peppered with self-contained episodes. Since someone else already mentioned Discovery, I think DS9 is a pretty good jumping on point for “classic” Trek.

Tilly says she went to a school named after Musk.

I firmly believe that someone had to talk the writer responsible out of making Tilly a graduate of Bit Connect High School.

As much as I think Musk is dumb and shitty, von Braun was personally aware that concentration camp slave labor was being used to make his rockets and continued anyway. According to some prisoners, he also ordered corporal punishment of slave workers and had a hand in selecting who was fit to work and who would be sent to an extermination camp. However, we can’t say for sure because of lack of documentation.

Even if we assume that the prisoner allegations are mistaken identity or whatever, I think directly being in contact with and benefiting from the Nazi death machine is quite a lot worse than Elon.

I feel like they had a really good opportunity to foreshadow Lorca being from where he is by making him say Von Braun instead of Musk.

It’d be one of those “of course this guy thought an SS officer was a good guy!” Moments

Mirror Musk is our Gabriel Bell.

Okay but let’s not do the part where a military tribunal has the power to decide if a being sentient enough to hold senior officer rank is also property that can be disassembled for science.
