As we all know, operational security is Starfleet's #1 priority.
I have to imagine there's a seedy bar in San Francisco where all the Chief Security Officers meet up to bitch about how no one ever listens to their recommendations but its their asses who get chewed out when the ship gets so easily taken over on a weekly basis.
Didn't Naked Time have Chapel literally profess her love for Spock?
The last episode on Rigel VII was shot in front of the Holodeck (what the call Trek's AR Wall) and it was breathtakingly good. The emptiness was likely part of the point with this species.
A ton of the shit comes straight from the board of directors, who will no longer have a board because MS is absorbing and buying out all shareholders.
We know Bobby is leaving for a fact as well, as he has a buyout clause in his contract.
Short term, this is excision of a cancer from the industry. Long term this kind of consolidation is bad for competition. I'll be happy when MS gets inevitably trust busted.
I loved it, and I loved how La'an had no idea how to read it since LCARS wasn't even invented yet. Great use of visual continuity!
💯 this. Pocketcasts is and has been outstanding for the years I've had it. Great UI, and will remember your position on a specific episode cross-platform.

It's more than a theme, it's the entire cloth the show is cut from. It's meant to be a vehicle for progressive, egalitarian, humanist ideals. It dares to see the world as a better place without the chains and vices of greed and capitalism and bigotry.
It's not popcorn sci-fi. It's a surprisingly deep show meant to make you confront biases and prejudices you may not have even realized you had.
Star Trek has always been contemporary issues wrapped in the veneer of space aliens. It's not meant to be pure escapism.
Alexis stepped back from leading the company in 2018, and down from Reddit's board in 2020.
It's not the rules on those servers, but the rules on the server you belong to, i.e lemmy.world. Looking at their main site, their rule 3 is as follows:
Yes, I too want the same old rehashes of 60s and 90s Trek plots so we can have full series burnout in record time.
Star Trek is a place to tell stories. Some of those stories involve weird shit. "Weird," as Janeway says to Kim after he comes from a cloned version of the ship where everyone he knows and loves just died in a self-destruct explosion, "is part of the job."
