It’s a thoughtful reply, but I think basically confirms my feeling that the people making Trek simply don’t grant its fundamental premise, that the people and society of Trek are better, or more developed, than our current one. The idea that when tested on its principles the initial reaction of both the Federation and…

Don’t forget deciding to go whole hog into practicing what amounts to slavery. We saw over the entire run of TNG and even into Voyager the concept of artificial life still being considered life. That holograms, androids, and even exocomps do count for something in the Federation. The Federation gave up on being the…

Just throwing it out there, but you shouldn’t have to defend your show after every episode.

This looks great and I am very into Dev Patel as the lead, but Alicia Vikander why ugh, she has like a random 1 in 6 chance of not being rubbish (and sure, when she’s good, she’s great but she usually isn’t).

RE: Jim Carrey
