I wanted to find this image and post it as my guess so thank you for relieving me of that quest.

This motherfucker kept me from wanting to watch TOS. Seeing him in the credits always scared the poo poo out of me as a kid when paired with that theremine music.

This is a bit of a tangent but I watched the DnD film today and even though that film is literally all over the place (it feels like they change scenery every 3-4 minutes for two and a half hours straight) it is a lot of fun and genuinely good and I think is a really good case study in how just establishing some basic stakes and characterisation results in an engaging story. There are twists and things get revealed over the course of the story, but within a couple of minutes of meeting each character we know what they are about and what they want and they act consistently along those lines for the rest of the film.

It's great and it's the antithesis of everything to do with Picard's attempt at mystery box storytelling.

I've heard a lot of good things about it already, which came as a surprise to me to be sure.

I've heard people saying it feels like an actual D&D campaign, but with Hollywood polish. If it's as good as Vox Machina turned into, I'll give it a look.

It's not as serious as Vox Machina but otherwise I'd say they both have the same sorta feel.
It has what Picard is missing - the people who are doing it like the material and treat it seriously. Which is a blessing.

And hearing hugh grant talk about places I've read about as a kid was pretty amazing

It's also got a ton of Glup Shittos to enjoy. My favorite was Jarnathan.

(Glup Shitto is the term the star wars fanbase came up with for "weird very minor character people grow obsessed with" like Lobot or Pandu Boba)

Star Trek needs more Glup Shittos

It's Lal, and that's why she didn't show up when Datalore cycled through personalities, she already transferred to another body. But she's also got a bit of Lore's personality and her name is now Lol.

Eventually Quark just replaced the bar and all his employees with the standard 10-Forward Terran bar holo-replica. A vengeful Rom now enacts the final phase of his vengeance on Starfleet for their evil invention.

Noone trusts transporters because 'random malfunctions' are how Rom deals with disloyal subordinates.

The shows entire purpose seems to be taking ideas and characters we liked and being cruel and lovely to them for no apparant reason, so I absolutely believe they could have Armus as the villain and not notice the irony.
