Right? I mean, I want desperately for the events of the last episode to be retconned, but even without that, just another crew in that same era would be great. It's a time rife with opportunity.

Honestly, I'd even love a series set around the time of first contact. Zefram Cochrane, early Vulcan diplomats, humanity's first ever foray outside of our solar system... God that would be cool.

Honestly, that sounds like my ideal show. I've always wanted a show that gave us something outside of Starfleet, and I've also always wanted a show that showed us a little more of earth (cannot wait for a sf academy). A freighter based show could us both. Frequent trips to earth to pick up supplies, space without the protection of the military's flagship, or the protection of being an important military space station. Tight knit crew, likely family members and all the drama and story that comes with that. God, that would be an awesome show.

That sounds really interesting! Scott Bakula is at a great age for playing an elder statesman, too.

While I agree about starting with TNG, I'd honestly love to rewatch most TOS episodes. Every trek has had at least one main character I just could not bring myself to like, except for TOS. The show is completely different, but the character interaction is amazing. Worth noting, I also love all the TOS movies, while the first and last TNG movies I just didn't care for.

I'm a major Majel fan (say that 10 times fast!), And it wasn't until a year or so ago that I realized that Majel played Number One. Blew my mind. Something about her in that episode is just different. Honestly, the woman was a helluvan actor. She threw herself into the roles she took, even when the writing didn't do her justice.

Thank you!

What is that screenshot from? It looks gorgeous. Video game? I want to play! Lol

Brain and brain! What is brain‽

I found it! I am so happy.

I want to see this so badly, but it just links back to this post :(

Anarchist checking in, so, y'know, bias and all that. But I'd say it's just as impossible to have anarchism in one country. Bearing in mind, I'm an anarcho-communist, and not terribly familiar things like mutualism, so that may be different. I tend to view, as do (to my knowledge) most ancoms, communism and anarchism as synonyms. The difference is how we get to the end point, not the end point itself. A stateless, classless, moneyless society. We've had the Spanish anarchists, and some examples of societies like Madagascar, where there are villages and region that function in an anarchistic way, but True Anarchism™ couldn't function in a single country/region. It needs to be international in it's scope for all the same reasons communism needs to be international in it's scope. Anarchist political methods can function at a smaller scale, but we can't have a fully anarchist society until it's global.

Which all just means that I'm an anarchist because I prefer the methods to achieving the shared goal, not because I disagree on the goal itself, if that makes sense.

It never ceases to amaze me how good the ST community is at remembering these things, despite the kind of staggering amount of media there is in the franchise. Thank you. That is what I was remembering!

Oh, God, the idea of mimic socks is horrifyingly scary!

I've already said as much in a comment on the other thread, but Lwaxana is amazing. She's the only ST character that Barrett got to play that was truly fleshed out, and it shows how amazing an actress she was. I'm so glad to see SNW doing her TOS era characters justice.

I need to find a list of all Lwaxana episodes and binge them. :D

Some risks are just worth taking.

We shall boldly waddle where no one has waddled before (or to sick bay).

That was, legitimately, one of the funniest things I've ever heard. The bit with Moriarty was amazing!

Ahh! Okay. Thank you for clarifying!

Oh that makes it so much better!

What's crazy to me, I also remembered this as a DS9 episode until I watched it during an ent run a week ago.

Can someone explain to me why these two movies are linked? I keep seeing references to them together.
