Barely an inconvenience!

Gene would have loved Discovery because it let characters say “fuck” and there’s nothing and no one Gene hated more than the censors.

Don’t you also imagine future developments of the stories you enjoy? I’m already imagining what Starfleet Academy is going to give us, doesn’t matter if it’s a prequel or not. I just have to set my imagined version aside when the actual show airs.

That’s very true, Kelvin Kirk is much more obnoxious than I believe prime Kirk would have been as a cadet. I’m not even sure Kelvin Kirk has the necessary charm to argue his way out of trouble the way prime Kirk did. If the attack on Vulcan hadn’t interrupted, I could see the academy authorities coming down pretty hard on him.

This is how I see it. Reprogramming the test was a protest, and protests should be loud and obvious. A subtle change that made the test just barely passable would have just looked like academic dishonesty.

Any time they bleed red instead of fuchsia is an unforgivable violation of the sacred canon.

Kirk didn’t die in that movie. It looked like he did, but he can’t have. He wasn’t alone.

We’re there already. Look no further than your smart phone. You can’t explain that to someone from 100 years ago and have them come away with anything more meaningful than “magic”.

Gay men are men, trans women are women.

Not 100%, but I feel the author may just be engaging in some Kira/Dax shipping. Which wouldn’t jibe great with the canon, but when has that ever stopped a good ship?

I agree, but I prefer “you have to play the ball as it lies”. It’s a similar sentiment, but more active so it doesn’t lend itself as much to defeatist readings. We can’t change reality, this is the situation we find ourselves in, but yes, we will find a path forward regardless.

Ah, I stand corrected.

To be pedantic, Supermen was created by a pair of Canucks and The Boys is the brainchild of an Irishman.

For the reward of instantaneous travel, I’m sure the Federation could muddle its way through amending a 100 year old law. The rest of the points don’t seem all that different than the complications we see our heroes regularly encounter exploring the galaxy. And none of them were enough to convince the crew of the Discovery to stop using the spore drive for the rest of the series.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Discovery anyway. Trek is full of miracle technologies that go conveniently forgotten. Janeway has no reason to be miffed given that she sat on an infinite speed drive herself, which had no downside that the doctor wouldn’t have been able to cure after it took them home.

There must be a better way to bankrupt a company than flushing your personal reputation down the toilet. He’s just dumb. No contradiction.
