Or, my fan theory is that since Picard demonstrates the Q may not be totally linear, Trelane is just Q2. At the very least, we know they can play around with time.
I agree on most of those counts, except the Chakotay one is actually very real; if you didn’t fully read the article (and I knew this already before reading it), a “Native American” cultural consultant, only to fond out the dude was a complete phony, so nearly everything that show depicts of Chakotay’s culture is either pulled from stereotypes or made up entirely.
The purple-haired one (who apparently is called Tongo Rad) kind of looks like a Boimler.
Unfortunately, he’s canonically not human, but if he were, it would have been really funny to have a throwaway line about Boimler’s
great-great grandfather being “in a weird cult of space hippies searching for Eden or something.”
“This is Dan, and that’s Dan, and there’s Marty at the helm to complete the crew. And I’m John and he is also John and all of us are wondering when you’re gonna die.”
I've always wondered what the proper Klingon translation of "Experience bIj" is.
The best I can come with, with my crappy understanding of Klingon and The Klingon Dictionary at my side is "bIj yIbech" ("Suffer bIj!"), but there is probably something horribly wrong with that translation. Even if nothing was grammatically wrong with it, it could be an overly literal translation.
I mean, I’m pretty sure it says at the end of the episode the Doctor decided to try and find what ended up happening to Voyager after he set the record straight.
What I meant is technically, in the time frame of Academy, assuming we can take their word that this is the "normal" Doctor, the VOY:Living Witness Doctor should still be alive as well.
Depending on how you count it, both will be the same age. It would be incredibly funny if both versions of the Doctor met.
Despite that, I think there were some interesting things about that season, and despite the oddness that was that plot, Saru and iPad baby was somehow still enjoyable.
I just feel like they squandered their interesting new setting with season 4 (granted, I haven't finished season 4); there were so many plots that could have sprung organically from the fall of the Emerald Chain and the rebuilding of the Federation, but no, we have to make up this stupid DMA as a big bad again, and we have to do another plot about dealing with grief.
Heck, we could have kept the DMA and still blown up Booker's homeworld, but let his family live and instead have written a story about living in diasporas, rather than beating the dead horse that is DISCO's take on individual grief.
How far did you watch into Prodigy? Let’s just say it gradually gets less forgettable - I think it really picks up mid-season 1.
I do love Lower Decks, though.
