  • Stylistically, it's spectacular. Plot and theme are both weak, but a good introduction to the characters. I do appreciate how much TOS tribute it fits into the package.

    Into Darkness intoduced more classic Trek anti-militarization messaging, but the story was dreadful, and somewhat presaged what happened with Abrams and the final Star Wars film.

    Beyond was the best Trek film of that era but, of course, Abrams wasn't involved in it.

  • Damn it, Jim!

  • The only thing I see wrong here is that Kirk's era always used four digit stardates. Everything else checks out.

  • What TV series have you watched, for good or bad that had the most complex or confusing plotlines?

    Jump

  • Google “Once Upon A Time family tree” to get a hint at how needlessly overcomplicated that show became.

  • greebles!!

    Jump

  • You know your stuff! Gotta say, of those terms “greebles” really does sound best to my ear.

  • Term coined by someone working on an obscure Star Trek knockoff in the 1970s. A little more warlike, as I recall, not really worth watching of course.

  • Since we now know mobile holo emitters are a thing by that time period, I’m convinced that the Leah mentioned in AGT was the hologram. No way the real deal gave him the time of day after that intro.

  • It is imperative that the stembolt remains unharmed!

  • Well, Bert? Bert, why aren't you saying anything, Bert?

    Jump

  • Not my preference. Star Trek was made to be about our future, not the future of an alternate past.

    SNW seems to have formalized the concept of a sliding timeline, attributed to temporal cold war shenanigans. I hate that justification, but the sliding timeline approach is probably the best one for how the franchise has developed. The Eugenics Wars are will happen 20 to 30 years from now... whenever now is.

  • Committing to any real world dates was a fundamental misstep. They knew it was a bad idea from the start! That's the whole reason stardates were invented! But they couldn't help themselves.

  • Their "reevaluation" window just hasn't come yet. It's really only been in the past couple of years that I've started seeing Enterprise getting praised as often as not. And obviously it's not that every fan has changed their minds, I'm talking about the general attitude taken as a whole.

  • Maybe Wednesday should be labelled The Star Trek Fandom, and Enid should be The Newest Star Trek Show. A big chunk of fans always gripe at first, complain about every little thing, but over time the new controversial show becomes accepted and loved as part of the greater Trek family.

  • Been too long since I saw the episode. Skimming the transcript, this is the quote I remembered:

    It never occurred to me. This is what I am. Did you ever tell me that you are only a single being? Of course not. That was normal to you.

    And since Beverly gives no real pushback to that, I kind of assumed that was a fair justification: that the Trill as they existed in this episode simply hasn’t had enough contact with other humanoids to know they were different.

    But skimming the rest of the transcript, you're right. Odan doesn’t correct anyone who refers to his previous work as that of his father. He clearly understands this difference and purposefully hides it.

    Feel like that makes the episode less interesting. And especially worse retrospectively if we apply the obvious trans metaphor...

  • It is, and I’m unanimous in that.

  • It wasn’t a lie, though, because there was no intent to deceive. The trill just views this as normal. They saw no more reason to “reveal” how their biology works than a human might feel the need to disclose that they’ll wrinkle and weaken with age.

    Realistically spacefaring races would probably find ways of sorting these things out before getting involved, but that’s how it was presented in the episode.
