That central character is the currator of the Voyager museum, and the Lower Decks crew is there to take the newly completed museum ship to Earth. He spends the whole time stressing over their antics.
I was actually looking for a gif of him saying “Subtle updates that do not impact historical consistency are an acceptable compromise for preservation!” but I couldn’t find it lol
Hell yeah! My favorite band and my favorite show.
Similarly, the best of way to get clips for all kinds of bags is just to buy a 50 pack of clothes pins. Just keep them in a little box, and you’re set for $3
I really hated that episode for exactly that reason. I’m not a big fan of Cadet Uhura’s plotlines in general. It is worth going back though. There are some fantastic episodes of SNW. Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach and the Elysian Kingdom were great, and the S1 finale was a What If of Pike in Kirk’s place facing down the Romulans in Balance of Terror, which I loved. The Gorn are cool, and Spock’s hijinks are fun in an old fashioned Trek kind of way that I’m glad we have back. And season 2 only gets better!
I know a lot of people didn’t like Enterprise, but I loved the episodes where they gave the explanation for the different Klingons
You can tell that Roddenberry always considered Star Fleet to be conservative in TOS. They were practically a navy. Kirk and Scotty were both military men, as were many other members of the crew.
Personally, I’m fine with this. I like that even Star Fleet has improved over the course of the show. Humanity should improve as we meet new life and civilizations. And in SNW, we saw that, even back then, there were Star Fleet officers like we know in the future, who were horrified by Star Fleet’s militarization. It improves the believability of the setting IMO
