Enough to classify the entire life existence of Ambassador Sarek's adopted human child?

Mushroom space was cool but it was real annoying about it being perfectly reliable and close to safe and the torture thing was pretty weird.

If they treated it like fluidic space, something weird that happened a couple of times and is really alien, that'd be cool. Maybe a short arc, half-season at most. End with it being the thing that saves the day but at terrible cost and then we don't have to go back to it every episode

It was almost exactly like that Simpsons episode with the big revelations about Principal Skinner, where in the end the judge declared that everything would be just like it was before, and no one would ever mention any of this again under penalty of torture.

In “crazy hallucinations” talk. I had a bizarre rear end dream last night where the crew of Voyager, Wesley, and the Movie era TOS crew teamed up to fly around the TV version of the TOS enterprise to fight an evil super DS9 the Cardassians has built that was like 3 DS9s glued together. For some reason Uhura was wearing a face veil the entire time.

Yes, it's Mike McMahan's hometown and it's a city-sized car lot with houses scattered between the dealerships that most people assume is just a suburb of LA. The joke is that for a class of starships named after Californian cities, an already bottom of the barrel naming niche, a ship named after Cerritos, CA is REALLY scraping the deepest nook of the lowest part of that barrel.

He’s from Chicago, but he heard the ubiquitous Cerritos Auto Square car dealership jingle on the radio as he was driving around LA and that’s what inspired the name Cerritos

Presumably the Alabama-class starships have a USS Mobile, my hometown. I expect it's a glorified tow truck, bringing ships back to drydock after the helmsman got drunk and spun out to hard

This is how you get ships named after brands of peanut butter and other random bullshit.

You better believe every bird species already has a ship named after them. Want to see the USS Eurostopodus diabolicus (Diabolical Nightjar/Satanic Nightjar)

I imagine the Federation naming a bunch of ships after things on alien worlds as well, even enemy or hostile factions.

I'm an ensign on the USS Borg Collective. No yeah, it's sorta weird, my mom got green-lasered to death at Wolf 359 but I guess it would be kind of bigoted to exclude them from the nomenclature. It's outreach, you know?

That's another hosed up production artifact. Fuller wanted to tell a TOS story, then they dumped him and replaced him and the new producers didn't really care about that but they were stuck with the setting and telling someone else's story. Fuller's version would have likely been a lot more TOS-compatible and done stuff with the era.

Hell, look at the concept art. Here's the bridge of the Shenzou July 2016:



Fuller got replaced in October, all the aesthetics were revamped, and here's the bridge of the Shenzou in December:



Wow, I've never seen that before. I'm amazed at how little work it takes to make the excellent original design look like total garbage.
