The evolutionary predestination thing used to justify following the Prime Directive before it was a thing in ENT is also pretty awful.

I'd more expect him in Ahsoka. Kenobi hasn't had a second season confirmed and was pitched as a one-shot, too.

But it's also in a galaxy far, far away. Perhaps it just took a long time for them to get to our galaxy, with the Falcon arriving some time around the 2200s?

J+S ≠ 47

Time Person Of The Year also isn't meant to mean they're the best person of the year, just the most influential on that year's events. Hitler was that person once, and Stalin was twice.

Best we can do is prune juice.

It's Dorn's delivery. He and Stewart could make any of their lines sound epic, no matter how cheesy the episode was

Interestingly, this is actually a thing on the show. In one TNG episode they figure out how to open a small window in their own shields to beam through. It becomes standard procedure in TNG, DS9, and VOY after that. Presumably, you can exploit an enemy ship attempting that.

Nowadays 'maiden' can just mean 'young woman'.

There is only one tiny way this could be better - in the original intro, the nebula parts just ahead of Voyager's prow thanks to the navigational deflector. Replicate that one little bit and it will be perfect.

Why settle for 9 when you can make one with a knob that goes to 11?

I'm not sure I agree. Replicators are basically just better 3D printers, and those are pretty readily available.

I swear, Phil LaMarr is a vocal chameleon.

"The Cage" also technically isn't part of continuity while "The Menagerie" definitely is. Also helps to smooth out some other stuff, like Pike making sexist comments in "The Cage"; that isn't part of "The Menagerie" so it didn't happen in continuity.

The TNG writers held off on writing BOBW2 at least partially because Patrick Stewart was renegotiating his contract and they needed to know if he was staying on. I doubt that's a concern with SNW. The writers strike could be a problem, though.

And now I wonder if they were poking at the random numbers when Boimler couldn't figure out what the stardate would be and just said 'the past'.

Or Gorn Flakes.

Counter their bullshit with your own. "We're not a union, we're a guild."

Hey, I kinda liked that episode.
