This was a hella fun episode. When Joni (Uhura) asks Moon (La’An) if she thinks a show could inspire a little boy looking up at the stars. That boy was me.

STAR TREK gave me so much. Sparked so much. Made me who I am.

This made me feel like that boy again.

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are

the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs

the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years

the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and

humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower

like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and those weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbors who all hated each others' guys until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

I enjoyed watching this the first go around. It was nice to revisit my favorite sitcom and couple from the 90s. I’ll have to give this a rewatch!

It’s the same, but different. Interesting early concept for the TMP bridge chairs with restraints.

If you write ‘unalive’ in prose or character dialogue, in your NOVEL - which I have seen TWICE NOW - I will immediately wince and full body cringe. The TikTokification of words has to stop. Your character almost DIED or was KILLED in your novel. They were not almost ‘unalived’.

As a senior officer speaking to a subordinate, Riker should’ve never called Barclay that insipid nickname. He’s being a bullish asshole here, which he always is when someone new is on the ship.

First day of Kirk being Captain:

Spock walks onto the bridge, nervously aware of the eyeshadow chosen to coordinate with his science uniform.
Kirk: Commander, have you done something different with your eyes?
Spock (nervously adjusting his posture slightly): It is still regulation, Captain...
