@PlainSimpleGarak @startrek Yep, I’ve really enjoyed SNW but the show seems completely unfamiliar with the concept of military discipline.

@explodicle @startrek I think it’s best not to ponder the capabilities of the transporter too closely, otherwise it kinda breaks the world.

@Carlo @startrek I didn’t get into DS9 until I was older. I think its complexity and more morally grey tone would have put me off as a kid, but as an adult I loved it.

@setsneedtofeed @startrek Which never made any sense in any timeline.

@CCMan1701A @startrek I haven’t liked Discovery or Picard, but I’ve *really* enjoyed Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks has been a surprising delight.

@FaceDeer @startrek Modern Trek has *really* pushed both the opposition to genetic enhancement and the prohibition of sentient AI. I suppose it is kinda in keeping with the “humanism” of the source material, but it seems like a blinkered view of the future. (I contrast it with the similarly post-scarcity Culture novels, where both biological modification and artificial Minds are common.)

@TheGiantKorean He also had a terrific recurring guest role in the drama Damages.

@QHC @startrek Ted Danson has done some fabulous work outside of Cheers, but I’m sure that show will be considered his legacy.

@hascat @startrek I always thought replicators worked like transporters, turning energy into various types of matter. That’s what makes them a key to post-scarcity — it appears the Federation has plenty of energy.

@Taleya @startrek Is La’an in SNW considered enhanced because of her ancestors? I’ve always been confused as to why she’s not under the ban.
