Breen are more like flexible abs plastic. Greater malleability when heated and then they stiffen up if they stay out of the suits and turn opaque. Maybe they get along with the Tholians? Hot aliens unite! Retcon they dont mind cardassians because they like it hot too. Could be a global catastrophe at some point cooled their planet so they all ended up wearing temperature control suits to maintain the prefered translucent state and they just like the secrecy and additional benefits. Now Im imagining 3d printed Breen. I didn't mind the new Discovery episode. It's still fantasy action adventure with scifi smeared on. Holy poo poo stop talking about quests and destiny and do some problem solving. But it felt like an improvement. New Jellico seems like a good addition, a more hard nosed edge does a lot to contrast with the other characters well. Having characters actually brainstorm and work the problem. More of that. Show continues to have fun moments, interesting bits, and then just can't get it all to work as scifi. But it feels like its improving every once in a while.

I was wondering “what the hell is the point of involving the ISS Enterprise in this?” And then I realized it’s just the SNW set so they didn’t have to make a new one

instead of being sympathetic riker would just mock him constantly and tell him he looks handsome; data would say it's ironic that he has endeavored to look human and yet you despise your appearance; picard would sense his distress but instead of a noble picard speech, just tell him to suck it up; alexander would just get put on a shuttle and flown into the sun because he is now dishonored or something

I just want to say that all that soap opera stuff with the villains was hot poop from a butt. Like amateur romance novel tier stuff. Is that what Twilight is like? A lot of Discovery is what I imagine Twilight to be.

Having an alien species never shown was a minor but fun gag with the Breen. Funny that the writers and producers of Disco thought yes we are the ones who should cash in on what the they look like under the helmets. It's not a big deal but the ST world is fun having little consistent character bits and traits through the series.

You know what I’m okay with seeing what the Breen look like. I’m really glad they didn’t try to bite The Mandalorian’s rhyme and have a character who always wears a helmet because it is The Way.

If the borg got ahold of nipple torture technology, would it turn them into cenobites? Would a spore drive cube become a lament configuration?

That's one of those things that AI is going to make possible someday. Cenobites in Trek would be interesting dealing with their totally different understanding of morality. Riker would be into it.

Would the Cenobites feel sorry for O’Brien or would they worship his ability to suffer? Or would they be angry he doesn’t feel pleasure from torment?
