Yeah, as much as I actually loved those movies (they were the gateway drug that got me back into Star Trek after only watching random episodes on syndication), I think their window of relevance has passed. Making another one would be pointless, unless maybe if it was some crossover with Strange New Worlds. But I imagine that would confuse general audiences horribly.
ApostleO
Yeah, in-universe, Starfleet seems to have a real nepotism problem.
As much as I love Conan, and enjoyed Conan's comedic style more than Ferguson's, I feel like Craig did better interviews.
I asked the same question out loud to myself when I saw Boims in the captain seat. Best guess: since the plan was just to tow the destroyer and throw it, they knew he wouldn't have to do much, and it'd give him a shot. Plus they might have taken his relationship with Mariner (and his rapport with the rest of the Lower Decks gang) into account. Lastly, it might have been a tactic for if the admiralty went through with court-martials. Whomever answered that hail in the captain's seat would be in more hot water than the rest of the crew.
Glory to you... and your TPS reports.
When I did that mission, they never specified the neutral zone was there, so I operated under the assumption we were in Federation space. When the birds of pray appeared, there was no option to hail (or they didn't respond), so I just beat them. And they attacked one at a time. Felt really cheesy, like they used Kobayashi Maru as a reference without actually replicating the test, because it also served as the tutorial.
Kobayashi Maru should have been the last mission, not the first. And it should be properly impossible.
Dying is scary, because it is often painful.
Death, not so much.
Yo mama so large, she's a "plus-sized" language model.
Same, unfortunately.
Also, I'm not great at carpentry.
Every day is guillotine day if you're brave enough.
The best time to build a guillotine was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
If I ever ran for president, I'd run on the platform of building a permanent, working guillotine next to every capitol building in the US. Then I'd have a giant guillotine the size of the Statue of Liberty built of American steel, and have it sent to the people of France.
I think there was also an episode where Voyager smuggled some people through hostile space by hiding them in the pattern buffer.
I thought we had voted to end it. Did I dream that?
Googling it, it looks like it never got all the way through the legislature. Ugh...
