When Jake stayed on the station as the dominion took it over, he should have been the only one to stay, and then it should have turned into Home Alone with Dukat and Damar running into homemade traps all over the place. And Morn would be the old guy with the shovel

I'm giving Star Trek Online a spin for the first time and this Mirror Universe poo poo feels like it was written by mega hacks.

The current player base cannot carry Federation vs. Klingon and pals conflict (team blue vs. red), and the Dominion and Romulan factions are just special cases that ultimately ally with blue or red, so PVP aspects have been given boot, and now all the new stories are about "everyone against someone else". Imperials from the Mirror universe is one of the newer enemies, the dimension-hopping Borg but worse, the Borg Kingdom is the newest one, and they took over after they nerfed the regular borg to be too much behind the power curve. And it gave them a reason to kill the adaptation mechanic which was really aggravating on ground missions.

Terran empire attacking was also a good reason to bring back original voice actors to do something interesting with their characters, at least Will Wheaton commented that it was one of the reasons to sign up.

But, the Vulcans leaving the Federation would be no small thing. They are the Federation! Along with Earth and Andoria. That's a core you can't just lose.

I will never stop thinking that Vulcans leaving the Federation should have been what one season or so Picard was about.

Set the story up with him and Tuvok trying to solve the mystery just to get Tuvok back.

I'm not going to lie. I wasn't a big fan of Tuvok in the 90s, but when I was binging on Voyager episodes about a year ago, he and the Doctor really were vying for my favorite characters in the series.

Tuvok is easily the best character on Voyager because he is 100% consistent through out the show. Once you realize that everyone else but Tuvok has went totally loving insane from being in the Delta Quadrant all of his actions make sense.

Contra Tuvok -- do you think there are Vulcans who want to hang out with humans more than minimally necessary? They've got "Terran fever" or something? Not necessarily sexual given Pon Farr's frequency, but more like either they're really curious about us ad/or feel the need to ennoble us, "The Pointy-Eared Burden," as it were, or they never really jived with repressing emotions and putting logical thought foremost? (Come to think of it, I've seen that two minute reassignment clip of LDS, but that was hardly voluntary.)

A silly little mouse!
When you think about it, for a Vulcan with even a passing interest in the social sciences, it’s logical to hang out with humans. Humans are always getting into relationship drama or performing weird social rituals or forming weird societies based around varied things like gangsters, gladiators, or being Irish. There’s some Vulcan Lt who volunteered for a posting on the D purely to get a first hand look at all the long lost human colonies with divergent societies.

I’m picturing one of those 80s movies where a nerdy girl comes out of her shell, and there’s always that scene where she emerges transformed while onlookers gawp, except it’s about a Vulcan encouraged by their human friends to loosen up, and their coming out scene has them stumble nude into view, cackling maniacally around mouthfuls of an entire blueberry pie they’re eating by hand, then have a brain aneurysm from feeling too much and die. The Psychedelic Furs is playing over this.

Newest employee is a lovely Vulcan. I mean, lovely by Vulcan standards. Not particularly smart or driven, even physically weak; we arm wrestled at the office holiday party and he told me he let me win, but the guy was almost imperceptibly trembling and very perceptibly sweating the whole time. I thought having him show off that nutso Vulcan strength by beating the boss effortlessly would endear him to the other employees, but criminey, nope, that didn’t happen.

Doesn’t matter though. I just need the look. See, he’s cold vid calling, selling teleporter insurance from a script. He doesn’t need to know how a teleporter works, just how to read what I wrote for him to say while looking like a guy who knows how teleporters work. Guy is sort of a charisma vacuum and at first was having some issues selling, but I told him, I said “I know it’s not written on there, but end your spiel with ‘In this modern, teleporter reliant, galaxy it would be highly illogical to imperil the future of your children by not buying a plan from me today.’” and that does 90% of the work for him. They might get aggravated by Vulcan mien, but damned if people don’t take a Vulcan saying what is and isn’t logical seriously.

Even he takes it seriously. He asked for a performance based raise last week and when I told him it wasn’t logical he was just like “I understand” and left my office. I tell you, having a stupid Vulcan on my sales team is going to be my shortcut to owning my own moon before fifty.
