Why didn’t they just erase the memory like Pulaski did to those primitives or have a Vulcan wipe it like Spock did to help Kirk get over Flint’s daughter?

Looking for the waste-sucker room at your friend's house, you wander into a room full of pillows. There's a mattress in there that's like a normal one, but it's all SOFT and SPRINGY. There's not even anyplace to secure restraints.

You just back out. Thrang, you kinky motherfucker. Who knew.

also disco episode 4 was good, though saru's bit didn't make a huge amount of sense if you didn't see the short webisode things

Same, because it got me thinking during that scene if we saw anything with Saru in promo material past this episode, and I’m pretty sure we didn’t.

So, gently caress you Disco writers, you got me.

Bashir said something about him actually having 20 years of memory so he’d have to wipe it all out or something. Also sisko ordered miles to go to all the therapy sessions until therapist said he was good to go. They just don’t show it because that would be boring.

It obviously didn’t take. A good therapist probably would’ve led him to conclude to quit his loveless and stifling marriage. A prison of his own choosing.

New Star Trek series Idea: Follow the life of the captain’s husband or wife negotiating raising a family on the ship. Never show the captain on screen. Hint and tease at exciting events in the background but focus on the domestic angle and that part of the crew. Put in a laugh track.

That's probably my #1 spergy problem I have with a lot of trek and scifi writing in general. They'll do all this worldbuilding to create a pretty much post-scarcity paradise with magic technology and run with that, but then some write thinks "I want to do an episode that shows humans are still humans (what ever that means) and have human problems!" but are too lazy to explore the actual cultural changes all this technology would bring and instead just shows a couple upset about doing the dishes or making dinner in a world with replicators because "married couples fight about domestic chores" and they can't write outside of that box or worry the idiot viewer wouldn't be able to relate otherwise.

He didn't realize that he was taking command of a ship full of babies that had issues with change and a slightly increased workload. He basically said, "uhh, we're not scanning a loving nebula today there are real stakes, so let's act like a real Starfleet Vessel and maybe let's not wear our pyjamas to work . . . ok?"

Reassigning a third of the engineering department to security and then putting engineering on round-the-clock shifts to do some last-minute modifications seems like a bad idea to me. He already basically took a few science labs offline with his modifications, reassign the blue shirts to security.

So the TV equivalent of 2014 Godzilla where almost anytime something rad was about to happen they cut away from it? I mean it's fair to take a movie thing and TV it as the next Godzilla (Shin) was more or less WEST WING BUT IN JAPAN WITH A GODZILLA WHO LOOKS LIKE IT WAS BIRTHED FROM SATANS BUTTHOLE POST MASSIVE TACO BELL MEAL.

Also I've been a bit back into Trek lately but I'm a bad person who likes the less Trek Trek where spaceships blow up a lot and it's got way less Gene idealism and way more dead things ideally involving spaceships exploding. (Yes I do own 3 of the 4 Starfleet Command games only missing Orion Pirates. ISC and Kzinti 4 life. Sadly no Seltorians so no KILL ALL THOLIANS ALL THE TIME fun. And nobody locally plays Federation Commander so I can get my spaceship murder fix. Even if my friend mostly just charged with overloaded Photon Torps and usually surrendered if he missed with most of them on the first pass. My Kzinti demand human blood as furries must not be tolerated. :doom: )

And while I'm at it how come there really aren't any good Trek ship models outside a couple long oop Bandai ones? For the price the Amt and Polar Lights kits cost they shouldn't need glue, paint, and sometimes an add on decal sheet to give that Aztec thing. At this point I might as well just buy the few ships I want from Eaglemoss. Smaller but metal, painted and assembled, plus a little magazine to read. About the same cost pre shipping as the normal size kits go for.
