So, Archer is a future trust fund baby who gets his ship because of his Dad's position. That kind of makes sense. He seems to be doing this because it's a hobby rather than a career path.

That's what made his hatred of what Bennett and Meyer did on Wrath of Khan so hilariously hypocritical. And man, oh man, did he absolutely hate Bennett with the fury of a thousand blazing suns.

I can't imagine humans at that time period exposed to so so many other federation cultures would be squeamish about klingon food. It's like they're 21st century newyorkers who find "ethnic food" weird and gross and only eat traditional english food.

Xibanya posted:*that reminds me, out of morbid curiosity, I checked out a subreddit for calling out stolen valor (people pretending to be veterans when they're not) and it seems to be populated partially by veterans, active duty military, relatives thereof, and partially by people who are itching to find a reason to attack someone. I found several threads where someone would post a picture of a guy wearing a uniform that had pants with one camo pattern and a top with a different one and OP saying "look at this faker, they can't even get their clothes to match right!" and other people popping in to say "nah, this is probably from when we had that uniform transition and he got the new jacket before he got the new pants..." in that regard when they do the uniform transition in DS9 it was remarkably orderly

It's clear from that episode though (and others in early TNG) that star fleet knows little more than gently caress all about Klingon culture despite being at peace for several decades following, what, a century at war? You'd think they'd have the 24th century equivalent of the CIA fact book on every race under the sun but no

When my Earthican grandmother comes to Rigel 7, we love to take her to get a taste of the old planet. We take her to Terries where the lasagna burgers fresh, never replicated, just like her grandmother used to make.

He died during season 5, but he took a step back from creative control in season 2 and by the time season 3 started he basically stopped working on the show (though he still had a ceremonial executive producer credit until his death, I think). The change isn't immediately obvious upon watching the first episode of season 3, but after you look back on season 3 and compare it to the first two, you will notice a big difference in quality.

Nessus posted:Isn't that cert more like, "You're permitted to take command if it comes up?" Like if someone shoots out the bridge and kills most of the cast, Crusher would be in the line of command ahead of, IDK, Barclay. Yeah, but think about it in context of, y'know, TNG. Remember that episode where everything goes to poo poo and pre-cert Troi is the ranking officer on the bridge? "Technically she's a lieutenant commander, Ro." And they had to hand-hold her through the most basic things. "Anti-matter containment is important. If we lose anti-matter containment, we all die. Atmosphere is important. If we lose atmosphere, we all die. We are currently in space. We cannot open a window and escape that way." I'd much rather have a brand new line officer ensign who at least understands the basics of starship operations in charge over a medical services commander who crashed the ship 100% of the times she took the helm. Even if she did pass a certification exam.

Remember that episode where everything goes to poo poo and pre-cert Troi is the ranking officer on the bridge? "Technically she's a lieutenant commander, Ro." Really that episode just shits all over Troi's character. If she was supposed to actually be ranking officer in a crisis like that, she should have had prior training and experience that would make her at least somewhat more qualified than what she saw. And if she's supposed to be a specialist who doesn't do that kind of stuff, that's fine too! ...it just means that in that scenario, Ensign Ro should be taking command. Which might well have made for an interesting story by itself, and hell maybe it was even written that way in a previous draft before one of the producers came down and said "nuhhh you can't do that, it's got to be one of the regular cast".
