That documentary was great. Watching the writing team together build upon each other's ideas was both fun and instructive. Seeing how they crack a story and lay out the acts was fun to watch. It made me wonder what the writing room(s) was like during the height of the show with so many storylines go...

It’s too bad the ship design didn’t have a more radical approach like the Oberth class it replaced. But it is in-line with the VOY-era design lineage.

Major threat from outside the galaxy. The Kelvans would be a great tie-in, like how the episode “Unification P. III” was. Hopefully, if anything, they don’t gloss over who the threat actually is, the way they did with the artificial life forms in the wormhole at the end of Picard.

"These Are the Voyages..."

I thought it was derivative, pandering, and I may have muttered, " oh for fuck's sake." Abrams is, at best, a second-rate storyteller, and that's being generous.

Because Q always backs a winner?

The recent poll about Starbase Yorktown, it got over 2,000 votes. I like your site and all that jazz but you've never had that many folks here voting. Is it akin to the Trump effect? Yorktown somehow speaks to something that's long simmering and then explodes and brings out Daystrom voters who haven...
