The science is pretty nonsensical though. Even with that premise, humans are more closely related to ferns than to klingons

Ok you have science backing you for the fern part but pure speculation for the Klingon part

Sub out "we seeded biped sentient life" with "we seeded early single-cell life" and it would work, too.

L-l-look at you bar-bartender, a-a pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone, un-underestimating my l-l-liver's ability to metab-meTABolize t-toxins. How can you p-poison a perfect, immortal alcohOLIC?


I thought the implication was they seeded the primordial soup of all those worlds with some kind of magic alien instructions to force evolution toward making intelligent humanoids.

It's still Star Trek science but I always liked that episode, particularly the way the non-Federations react to the message.

No! Star Trek has to be exactly like it was in the 90's, or else half of the people here will hate it.

Why is Mirror Tuvok there? He was canonically still in the Mirror Alpha Quadrant, as seen on that DS9 episode.

I can see when you are lying.

The last scene in "The Chase" is probably part of the DNA of the new Picard show. At least, the spirit of it - that Humans and Romulans - one day. One day.

I’m saying start the show with Geordi as CMO. “The doctor is blind” gives you all the same story opportunities, plus an excuse for him to say more than just “aye captain” and “coming about” every episode.

I know you are, I'm just saying why they used Geordi as they did

Not trying to be a pedant, but with these MU comics the TNG/VOY characters who are human would probably either be slaves or not exist since the Terran Empire was overtaken by the Alliance by this point

The funniest thing about the DS9 Mirror Universe was how little the writers cared about the consistency.

gently caress yes to everything about that

Unless it means Picard will be in a basement directing Captain Wesley Crusher through an earpiece as he infiltrates a Cardassian base

On second thought gently caress yes to that, too

I can never get over how amazing her design is for showing off Cardassian standards of beauty.

Like, we see accentuation on the spoon, on the neck, and on the eye ridges, but she's also painted as like, a no-nonsense woman, and it's all just. gently caress, it's done so well, she's such a good character, DS9 is so loving good, gently caress, I need to do a rewatch.

Its weird though that in DS9 they made the whole cardassian military pretty much men-only with women as generally only wives and scientists but we had this establishing female cardassian Gul in TNG. I would have liked more fascist lady spoons. The little detail like their makeup was such a fantastic touch.

The lady Kira replaces was an Obsidian Order agent. And in the episode where O’Brien gets tried for arming the Maquis, the Supreme Court Chief Justice was a woman.

Blind-guy-piloting-the-ship talk: seriously watch the original preview for TNG that was on the VHS for Star Trek IV. It's fukken great.

"Georgi: a blind man who pilots the ship! Also he's black, so there is that too."

I may be mis-remembering the last part but I definitely think the intention was there.

edit - It reminds me so much of the Futurama joke:

Spargle: You don't understand. Without the distraction of taste, your mind is free to touch the Zen of pure flavour. You could become the greatest chef ever.

We see women, of course, but just not in the military-proper. Not guls and the like, not in military uniform.

He does fine work for something that could belong in a PS4 game, but I don't know if I find this very convincing otherwise. The movement feels off, something I noticed with the weird looking asteroid at the start.

The lighting doesn't look right, everything is too bright. The welding torches are distracting. I mean its impressive for a lone dude making it, but the original looks better even with the late 90s CG.

I imagine a 4K version of Babylon 5 would look something like that.

It's good, but a lot of the lighting seems off to me and the camera work in combination with the sky-box looks really static and weird right after the comet. There is a distinct video-game quality to it all.
