One thing I did wish was that there was a bit more screen time on the Romulans. They've always felt more on equal terms to the Federation than the Klingons or Cardassians but then maybe by exploring them more it would lose some of that mystery and enigma. I've not checked out Picard at all but the Romulans are more central in that right? I might check it out after I watch SNW.

Yeah, I've always felt the Romulans were a little under-represented in the shows too. But the trouble, as I once saw it put, is that the Cardassians took the Romulans' entire shtick (secretive, oppressive, militaristic, paranoid) and then did it much better. They do show up in the Picard show, quite prominently in Season 1, but unfortunately it's not written terribly well.

I bet they're having to mass-produce those one-man personal holopods from Lower Decks as fast as they can because literally every single person in the Federation is demanding their own now.

Red Warrior posted:Yeah he's like one of two guys with a non-speaking role just standing behind Dukat on the bridge. I guess Casey Briggs was just one of those actors who shows up on time and does the job no complaints and gradually parlayed that into a full role. No, they were always planning to make Damar into more of a character. Even in his first episode he's filmed as if he's significant, even though he doesn't do anything.

redshirt posted:You may be right, it's been awhile. It’s the final culmination of the “what kind of people” scene. Rusat (the rear end in a top hat) is maniacally ranting about the glorious return of the old Cardassia while the threatening to kill Kira. Damar has a choice; let Rusat kill Kira and admit that he is fighting only be the oppressor again or kill Rusat and break free of, as Garak put it, his romanticism of the old Cardassia.

I can't remember but did the Dinosaur people have a reason that in millions of years they hadn't accomplished much of anything? It's sort of like the Borg issue where they really should have conquered the galaxy by now just given what we generally know of their histories.

Yeah, the Voth were such religious fundies that they must have avoided encountering anything that would have challenged their worldview. Or if they did, they retreated and never spoke of it again.
