I like how tall Olly is. Really helped sell the "Demigod" thing.
Finally, representation for the struggle of being a young Immortal.
I find it peculiar how they've hidden the creeping Boimler Beard from the trailers a month ago.
Twisting the usual Star Trek species formula a bit and having an entire culture center around food critic reviews is really funny. Especially with how this has been built up since Season 1 with Migleemo relating everything to food—I thought it was a individual person thing but it turned out to be something cultural.
They show us a canon depiction of the transparent skulled Gallamites and then they bring back that one species from ENT that was offended by public eating in the same second? It's like they were targeting me specifically.
OMG they've added a green hand to the intro.
I'm hoping they won't go too long with the Multiverse stuff / council of

thing. I'm kind of fatigued with multiverses as it is.
Regarding point 2, I just figured Gabriel Bell was probably just someone good with computers who was also down on his luck and empathic to others' plights.
Maybe they were attending number 15 o C at that processing center.

Weird to see them side-by-side in a videogame, but it feels so right.
Pike went to Johnny Bravo's barber off screen.
Do you think the humans acting all "logical" is psychosomatic? They're less aware of the cultural history that lead to Vulcans suppressing their emotions and acting logical, so they think that logic is more of a racial trait, and thus act logical.
There is a bit of a precedent of logic being genetically encoded with Star Trek Prodigy when

That space and time comment kind of rubbed me the wrong way. By the nature of planetary bodies and ships moving at incredible speeds things have to move through space anyway. Episode 19 at 11:54 had a minor animation mistake going on Bribble with some weird clipping. I'm glad that other Val N'Akat supported Gwyn in that climactic battle. It was starting to feel like the dad and the BBEG were the only ones on the planet between the time duplicates in the earlier episodes.
I felt the synergy between this show and Picard went a little stronger than needed. Especially considering the first season was a little weaker than the others. It also felt a little late.
I'm still looking forward to any sequel though. I like the hook of slightly unsanctioned exploring.
I didn't expect Holojaneway to be casually flirting with the Doctor but dang did I need that scene with them.
I liked the "boldness isn't only for the young" speech although I do wish some of my elders aren't so bold these days.
I figured splitting up would've been the bad idea but they were going to do it anyway.
Asencia's posh accent feels like such an extra affectation.
It's been feeling like a few too many back-to-back "big" episodes. It took me a while to realize that the Boothby Supernova wasn't what that othet Nova Squadron did.
They have the bare shoulder sleeves from the comics!
The whales Gracie and George were stated to have wandered into San Francisco as calves. Outside of feeding events which can include the famous bubble nets, humpback whale pods usually consist of a lone mother and calf (or calves) pairing with a trailing "escort" male. Humpbacks are one of the few mammals that can be nursing and still get pregnant. So anyway, the implication seems to be that if they were both calves and coming in the same time as a pod, they must have been orphaned from their mother and part of the same family group. Therefore, when its later revealed that Gracie is pregnant this one question comes to mind:
"Was the pregnancy a product of incest?"
No wonder they were originally going to be called Adam and Evie.
The show had already established how Tendi has green blood earlier in the series after an injury and it would have been an easy to infer detail compared to humans in the show.
Other animated shows like Steven Universe already show how non-pink blush colors can work in animation.
By that I mean that the basic premise being: that the means of (re)creating new technology is lost, the current technology around is treated as sacred and the function marred in elaborate rituals or prayers because they don't know how to otherwise operate it, and to a lesser extent that new ideas or (often xenophillic) research is met with suspicion or outright rejected because it doesn't fit with the religious dogma.
I keep feeling that a similar group is somewhere in Star Trek, right on the cusp of my memory, but I can't seem to recall any specific examples.
