Ah yeah, I remember a moment like that in DS9, where Sisko is lamenting the crew’s interest in a holosuite program set in the 50s because of how “our people” were treated back then. It always felt out of place for me, though DS9 is still my favourite Star Trek.

Can you give some examples of this? Admittedly I didn’t much care for Discovery and didn’t pay a lot of attention through it as a result, but I’m not picking up what you’re laying down ;-)

Voyager: One Small Step

It’s one of my top ten favourites, but it’s also a very typical “one off” story.

Excluding the obvious choice of Jeffrey Combs as… well anyone really, I’m rather fond of Andreas Katsulas, though I may be partial to him for his phenomenal role as G’Kar on Babylon 5.

“Yankees, in six games” – “One Small Step” is comfort food for me. A close second is “The Siege of AR-558”

This was on Mastodon this morning.

Please post pictures!

What anti-lgbtq stuff has he been saying? All I could find was that he liked a random tweet that supported him but was itself bigoted.

Exactly what I was thinking about. Though I think if you wanted to do a series, you’d probably want a little more conflict than a paradise planet could offer.

A solarpunk Star Trek would be amazing! Tell the story of civilians living in a post-scarcity economy, building a colony, farming, and running restaurants. The “Articles of the Federation” idea of “The West Wing in Space” made my heart skip a beat.

I want to see more of Federation life, through a lens other than the military!

+1 for Bride of Chaotica! Also SNW’s “Those Old Scientists” is pretty damned good. Oh! and DS9’s “Magnificent Ferengi”!

Wait, commercials? Since when are there commercials on Paramount+?

Here you go!

ZOMG!

I loved the bunnies reference until I realised that in that moment they were talking about alternate realities. A better Buffy reference might have been to mention the reality where everything was shrimp 😆

Episodes like these are why I’ve always loved Trek. Good science fiction has always held up a mirror and forced us to confront society from a different perspective. This episode was just the latest and perhaps best example of this. Neera’s explanation to L’ann still has me weepy a full 24hrs since I’ve seen it for the first time.
