Just hope that if Morn shows up in the new shows, its Lower Decks or Prodigy.

You know that if Picard S3 visits DS9 they will just ruin it by making him talk on-camera, or if it is DISCO they somehow manage to make him a minor character for a season who does not shut up for a minute, and gets killed four episodes in.

Absolutely not true at all. If morn shows up it'll be either as a corpse or on a memorial wall

Season 3 of PIC: we find out Beverly Crusher keeps Morn's head on her shelf of grisly trophies. It is never explained or referenced.

Along with the exhumed skull of Berlinghoff Rasmussen. When asked, she replies, "For autopsy purposes" and refuses to elaborate.

The finale of SNW balanced the knife edge of fan service and compelling story beautifully and it was just flat out incredible.
I don't remember anything about Balance of Terror despite loving it ages ago when a friend was demonstrating that TOS wasn't always weird and gross. It remains the only episode I've seen the whole way through. And I don't feel like I missed out on anything but a little more fun for having not seen it. Tough needle to thread, but they managed it. I didn't even realize it was anything more specific than a broad homage of the TOS era until I watched Steve Shive's review of it.

It both operated on and succeeded by the Trials and Tribbleations formula instead of just being "HEY, YOU LOSER FUCKFACE NERD! YOU LIKE THIS poo poo, DON'T YOU? REMEMBER THING?! YOU LOVE THING, DON'T YOU YOU loving DORK" as, say, Into Darkness did.

Heh, I know TOS so well that as SOON as I saw he was officiating a wedding, I paused and told my friend "Holy poo poo, they are doing Balance of Terror!"

I remember wondering with friends about what Pike would have done if he'd been in command during Balance of Terror when I was a kid/teen, it's wild having that question explored so thoroughly and so well in an actual episode!

It was a nice touch that Kirk was commanding the Farragut since it was his first posting.

That might also be why he was so pissed off that Pike hesitated firing on the Romulans. Kirk thought his own hesitation cost half the Farragut's crew their lives.

The dramatic irony of Pike concluding he needed to fix the future by shutting down Kirk and suing for peace harder was painful to watch. Such a sweet guy placed in a situation where one time they really did just need to shoot some guys

It’s now canon that anyone including the audience is duty bound by Starfleet to forget everything that happened in DISCO and even its very existence.

Also, who is your most surprising Star Trek guest star/cameo, and tell me why it begins and ends with the dude who played Old Man Kester from The Giant Spider Invasion.

I think it's the woman who played Kester's wife, and was on before she was in The Giant Spider Invasion at Menard's.

Noted mainstay of 1990s Canadian television Tom Jackson appearing as a disguise of The Traveler in TNG's last Wesley episode kinda threw me a bit as a kid for some reason

But the real answer as I got older was probably any one of Voyager's revolving door of comedian guest spots, Jason Alexander has already been mentioned, but Andy Dick was just as bizarre. I was probably more into Newsradio than Seinfeld at the time, so

Everyone remembers The Rock, but Paul Wight (the former Big Show) showing up on ENT as a giant Orion yelling "SLAVES ARE LOOSE! SLAVES ARE LOOSE!" was fun

I'm always surprised that they never really threw more money at NBA and NFL guys in the off season or practice squad guys to have more Big Aliens.

Like they did with the Hirogen during their first couple of intro episodes. They were presented as these horrifying 8ft tall motherfuckers, and then they got cheap and hired regular sized people for the rest of their time on screen so they lost their edge REAL fast.

Yeah that was weird to see. I mean I guess I understand since they made them more actual characters with way more screen time in later episodes and the overlap in the Venn diagram of "giant people" and "good actors" is probably fairly small but they could have at least tried to use the camera to make them seem like they were at first.

Based on the fact that he could calculate time travel, I always hoped his little screen was more like what K looks like when analyzing the DNA in Blade Runner 2049, just an impossibly fast stream of raw data that a human wouldn't be able to fathom.
