Honestly aside from some of the cultural references, I really have nothing bad to say about it. It's a great show, and MacFarlane's sheer earnestness outweighs the fact that he's cemented in my brain as Brian the dog.

Mercer is Brian the dog too

Let me rephrase:. Mercer is not Brian because they are both played by MacFarlane. There is practically nothing distinguishing them in my view at all outside of the fact that Mercer is not a cartoon dog. It's almost like Seth can't really perform another character besides "sensible try hard"

Well it's been a while since I've seen Family Guy so I might be drawing more parallels than is there, but they both strike me as awkward in similar fashion, with crappy jokes that fall flat, believing himself capable of more than he is, and having a terrible propensity to offend the person trying to help them.

Yeah I don't have a list of reasons or anything, it just strikes me that they're not distinguished from each other so much, but nobody else sees it that way so I'll chalk it up to personal bias.

Edit: and again I haven't watched more than an eppy here or there of family guy in years so perhaps my memories of the character are more muted, seems like they added a lot more flaws to his character, I remember him being more of an attempt at a sensible, informed straight man.

What they should do, and what I hope they've begun to do already, is record Patrick Stewart saying every word in the English language, plus a handful of words from other languages, with a variety of cadences. His voice can live forever, if not the man himself.

You know most people would side with the secret space police, though. That's the takeaway from well-written fascists: people empathize with them, weirdly more often than actually incredibly good characters.

i think section 31 refers to a line in the charter that is like “the integrity of the federation will be protected” but it doesn’t in any way establish an actual organization and presumably the text of section 31 is upheld by starfleet and not some unaccountable spies

If you take all facets of the word "integrity" it seems unaccountable black ops would be strictly forbidden.

Do they sub-theme the Trek Cruises? Is it the same thing every year, or could I go on a First Contact cruise, a Wrath of Khan Cruise? A Voyage Home cruise with whale watching expedition? I feel like it would get really boring if it was All-Trek every time. Like, a TOS cruise would be completely different than a TNG cruise, and a DS9 cruise would be awesome because there'd be Quark's. A Voyager cruise would be really exciting at first and then each day would drag on forever, with all the expeditions being fun on the face but poorly-organized. For instance, the Delta Flyer expedition promises high-speed adventure, but it's barely more interesting than being on the ship was.

I would want to do a First Contact cruise. A borged-out cruise ship would be hella sick. Lots of those lightning circles everywhere. What the gently caress are those called? And the bars done up gangland 1940s style.
