Random note, it looks like Picard's likely to be embarassed by a Captain Picard Day from grown-up Enterprise kids, I do wonder which Star Trek characters are best with kids. Picard is obviously awkward around them, the Sisko is a great dad, Worf is a terrible dad, Quark strikes me as a bit of a cool uncle type you could probably trust them with for the weekend, though you wouldn't trust him with their pocket money. Lwaxana is everybody's cool aunt. Kira strikes me as someone who's decent around kids if not entirely the maternal type, and will absolutely murder anyone who threatens them.

Riker is a cool uncle but you wouldn't really trust him with your newly-18 daughter

Trek has a weird history with weapon props. There's the bit where Kira is doing the M16-to-AK47 speech demonstrating the Federation phase rifle and the battery falls out of the prop halfway through.

Still love that Klingon disruptor pistols are basically space flintlocks.

This is actually true though. Disruptors are much much more prominent in the universe outside of the federation because they're conceptually simpler, the federation invested in phaser tech for it's multitool purpose

Gene was a goddamn weirdo but kinda seems like he had his heart in the right place most of the time. I suppose it takes weirdos to do so decades before it becomes acceptable.

Worf as a trans metaphor is surprising to me, but y'know what, I can see it. The dude's whole arc is trying to come to terms with contradictory ideals of morality and masculinity in a way that doesn't outright threaten the people he cares about.

Yeah like if a Phaser can vapourize a 43m³ size square on a mid-range setting (From memory? Might be wrong, I don't remember the tech manual's list v well), that gun could probably blast a fair-sized hole in the hull (esp since I don't think there's shielding from the inside?? Would be cool to see it happen I guess)

Opening of the first episode, we fade in to see Picard, sitting in a lawn chair with a beer, casually "plinking" with a phaser at something offscreen. Pull back to reveal the crashed Enterprise-D saucer section. Picard is shooting out the windows, one by one. Picard's dog comes up to him and receives a friendly head scritch. Fade out to opening credits.
