Looking it up, I now remember why I forgot it.

Actually, I think I never saw it. I did see most of the episodes that it steals footage from, though, so I guess that counts

star trek could be so cool in a Netflix marvel kind of way. just short series about whatever (klingons/ federation / just weird poo poo) done with reasonably good production values and good cast / crew

Like I mentioned before I just started rewatching DS9 for the second time. It's really neat (like with a Star Trek/90s television story telling handicap) how initially O'Brien can't stand Bashir and by the ends they're totally just pounding each other.


Like in story telling or more modern shows it's really not such a big triumph that "characters grow and show progression" but in scifi it's a miracle when you see it in something like DS9 or Babylon 5, unfortunately

Star Trek is too sterile to even suggest some sort of affair.

The technology of the 24th century has improved to the point that we no longer feel sexually repulsed by our spouses as a species. No longer are men forced by their wives to seek the attentions of their comely buxom secretaries. Petty things like divorce, alimony payments, and adultery have become a thing of the past. -Gene Roddenberry

Maybe that's why she doesn't like transporting because she sees the transporter as a dirty crab-disposal machine. You really want to get your atoms all mixed up with crabs?
