Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if someone at Trek HQ suggested adding a fifth galactic quadrant

Technically the galaxy is made up of the thin disc and the thick disc, which are distinct segments with their own rotation and stellar populations with different characteristics and ages, so that kinda exists. (And then there's the bulge and the halo...)

I was just thinking how silly it is that Discovery Klingons look the way they do but you got Worf looking normal in Picard and I just looked it up and saw they're back to the normal look we've seen since TMP for Strange New Worlds. I wonder how you come up with an in-universe explanation for that? I don't think you bother.

The Klingons are into genetic modification, and different great houses do different things, the TMP/TNG/ENT is the default look. They also are proficient enough in that business to turn an albino bat-klingon into a human form. So yes, that. Lets leave it to that.

it turns out that in discovery it wasn't klingons at all, it was klangons otherwise known as stupid klingons that suck.

Picard: Quadrant! Quad- ...sector? System? Where the gently caress are we, mister Data? Data: Scans show that all nomenclature is arbitrarily defined by the surveying entities of various sentient spacefaring peoples, Captain. Picard: Thank you, Mister Data. Number One, where are we? Riker, drunkenly: Near a Chili's, I hope. Picard: Chrissakes. Computer, where are we? Computer: CURRENT COORDINATES ARE-- Picard: I'm just gonna say quadrant.

Stand by photon torpedoes. Because in the 24th century, navigation computer software is ultimately based on the quake engine and blender (unity did not survive WW3).

Well, using rectangular galactic coordinates xy is in the plane of the galaxy and z is towards galactic north ('up' from the plane), so that matches.

I've been dipping into random Voyager episodes I have never seen (which is about half of them) and chose Season 2's "Meld," in which a Betazed crew member murders another crew member for no other reason than being a psycho and Tuvok won't let it rest. There must be a reason! Nawp, dude's just psycho, and passes on some of that to Tuvok after they mind meld. Which gives us some great, "Hey, Tim Russ, just chew up that scenery like it's made of delicious nougat," including the great Neelix choke out moment. Anyway, it ends with Janeway telling Tuvok, "No more mind melds without my authorization." And it just so happens the next episode I watch is S3's "Coda," in which Janeway dies in a time loop? I got a good chuckle that once the crew accepted that Janeway is dead, the plot needs Tuvok to do a mind meld on Kes, like he has pent-up unauthorized meldings to catch up on.

It's especially noticeable in TOS how Spock at some point is like "I will use this ancient and mystic ability of my people referred to in hushed tones as a 'mind-meld'." and before long every other episode Kirk goes "Spock the replicator made my coffee a little tepid, can you do a mindmeld to it, make it snappy pls"

How could anyone spend more than five minutes on a set with Brad Dourif and NOT decide to just let the man go as ham as he wants for as long as he wants to play a character for?

Especially in the early seasons, good acting was actively discouraged for most of the cast so I can see how he wouldn't be a good fit

The best part of TNG S7 is nobody gives a gently caress anymore and they’re just making the weirdest poo poo with varying results. It’s basically Voyager S0

I wanted to see Picard turn into a Pygmy Marmoset in that one ep. Tufts of hair hastily glued to his face and him trying to run on all fours. Spider Barclay was some of the coolest makeup the show had ever done though.

S7 is fine haters. It’s got Pegasus, Lower Decks (the episode), Renaissance Data, All good things, and gently caress you Masks and Genesis are good campy fun. And while it heavily suffers from being a one episode story stretched over two Descent is unfairly maligned. Sex Ghost: Coast to Coast is just the suffering that gives the good parts of life context.
