The cut to teary-eyed Beverly after his monologue is probably my favorite gag in all of Trek

The Nth Degree is in my top ten for sure, I've always loved it. "He made a pass at me last night. A good one!"

Cyrano de Bergerac isn’t Shakespeare. I have no idea who did write it tbh, but it can’t be Shakespeare bc 1) he’s French 2) the real Cyrano lived after Shakespeare was dead.

You're right! I forgot it was Cyrano.

Not going to lie, that Avengers, assemble! shot at the end of "United" got me kind of pumped. This is really what the show should have been the whole time.

Also, loving Romulans lol. Legitimately, Enterprise did a pretty good job of establishing how a war with them could have happened without anyone ever seeing what one looked like. I'm just going to ignore the evil Shran at the end.

One thing though: never give Jeffrey Combs a love interest again. He's good at everything else, but that was cheesy.

It's compressing the entire electromagnetic spectrum into the visual range for the sake of the observers. It'd be like us compressing a full HD signal to a few shades of blue.

the Ferengi are more Monegasque than Swiss, a state that exists as a tax loophole, casino, and entertainment zone for extremely rich yacht life people. It's the Ferenginar of the Mediterranean.

What’s the actual context for them using the First Contact theme though? Just the band having fun or did Goldsmith rip off the Swedish national anthem 30 years ago?

Doesn't really sound anything alike. Just having fun, because Du Gamla du Fria isn't very difficult to play either.

EDIT: It is a fake, few other youtube videos have the correct one. But the crazy part is that someone has bothered to make fake version that is in Sky News archive version in Youtube.

Starfleet is a direct descendent of the United Earth Space Probe Agency which can trace its lineage directly to NASA so yes.

Can it? I figure the post-atomic horror interrupted that lineage.

Hell, United Earth came out of a descendant of the EU, if anything UESPA is a descendant of the ESA.

If you want to go crazy with the on-screen canon lineages then Knight Rider is a Star Trek prequel show.
