Also I can only imagine his pitch.

Crossing my fingers it gets leaked 🤣

Odo used harumph. It’s super effective!

Really thoughtful read. I especially appreciated this

The term woke originally meant something quite simple: Being awake to injustice. However, in recent years, it has undergone a remarkable semantic inversion. For some critics, woke has become shorthand for any narrative that asks viewers to empathize with someone outside their tribe.

This is why stories about immigration policy, systemic injustice, or forgiveness trigger such strong reactions. They are perceived not as entertainment but as ideological intrusion. They become "the enemy."

Edit: also this, meant only as a jest 🖖 :

Incredibly well done episode. Not sure others have mentioned these, but I really really liked these things in particular:

• Reno has great presence and delivery. And the sharpest uniform.
• I’m glad the announcer from Children’s Hospital fell through an anomaly and arrived in Starfleet Academy.
• English graffiti and open flames everywhere! J/k how could they get everything else so right but then fumble this so poorly. You’re telling me the venari ral are space romans, but not romulans?

A great first season, I feel like they know what they’re doing and I want more.

I was kind of bummed by the explanation of why Discovery couldn’t jump with the spore drive

I loved this episode and the season in general , but I must disagree.

I felt like they respected their audience too much to leave us with freezer thoughts like “what about disco’s magic mushroom warp?”

Hear me out, it’s a Big Sword conspiracy. They wanted to be the only weapon marketed to the cross-shaped-violence demographic.

They are in the middle of — it’s not just drinking from one firehose, there’s probably ten thousand hoses. And so everything is just happening slower as a result of this massive time of transition. And that is not exclusive to Star Trek.

As a corporate drone I see this as an absolute win.

The odds are near their highest that Academy will be rubberstamped simply because it passes a triage check and they’re too busy to bikeshed the details.

Warrior pope you say? I think I read his biography once

At the bar celebrating his new commission aboard Voyager he met an ensign named Mariner.

This was an problem that Picard showrunner Terry Matalas ran into when he pitched his Star Trek: Legacy spinoff series set on board the USS-Enterprise-G (formerly USS Titan), as all of those sets were destroyed immediately after Picard season 3 wrapped up, adding significant startup costs to recreate everything for a new show.

Ah so that’s why that sets are relevant. No sets no spinoff.

I really thought attributing the line to Denethor would be thing that annoys people haha
