The problem is our private health insurance comapnies are so corrupt at this point, they are not salvageable. They skim somewhere between 20-30% and they cost health providers another 5-10% in overhead. Insurance is the single biggest reason that US healthcare is more expensive then comparable healthcare in other…
Honestly, if you want that, go to Star Trek.
Schooled!
Wait until they try to move back to New York after this is all over. I don’t think a single person they aren’t paying will speak to them.
It’s tricky, one off episodes are a big part of Trek, but...when you only have 10 episodes, it’s hard to throw one away on a story that isn’t a big part of the main thread.
No. Entire episodes focused on other characters (even Scotty). When Discovery tried to tell a time loop story where Stamets was the person outside of the loop, they STILL focus on the episode from Burnham’s perspective! They had to get Stamets to repeatedly tell her what was going on to try and get it to work. That is…
Sorry, I have to disagree with that statement. Especially as the show progressed. It might have been the least “ensemble” like of the shows, but it still was not nearly as one person centric as discover was.
What Trek (besides Discovery) isn’t an ensemble show?
It sounds like they might have fixed one of my biggest problems with the show. Star Trek is suppose to be an ensemble show. There are definitely stars, but a big part of the draw is that there are at least a half-dozen people we follow. Season one was way too Burnham heavy, it just didn’t feel like Trek.

Yes, and a huge part of why the dominion arc was so excellent. And a case where section 31 was used perfectly. It’s a great story because in some ways every side has a compelling argument - completely from there perspective and perhaps even in the grand scheme of things. Fantastic job! Now I want to watch it all…
It really trips a lot of “DARK IS BETTTTTTER!!!!!” signals. Which to me is a sign of a real lack of creativity (I’m not saying that a little darkness isn’t good, but writers can really use it a horrible crutch)
I think we are all in agreement here. Sections 31's plan defeated the Dominion, but would have also lead to the destruction of the Federation. Would the federation found away to reach a peaceful resolution if Section 31 hadn’t interfered? We don’t know. But section 31's tactics only leads to destruction in the…
I just want to say that “Shitadel” is brilliant.
I can’t prove this, but I think there are enough hints that if the Federation had let the virus go, they would have defeated the Dominion, but the Dominion (and/or the uncontrolled Jem’Hadar) would have also destroyed the Federation as well. You could see that happen to the Cardassian’s at the end of the war, the…
Jimmy Fallon is the worst. I can’t make it through more than a few minutes of him. I can’t wait until Lorne Michaels get bored of him and swaps him out.
First of all, he’d never leave, he has such a good deal (money / time) that no US network could match it.
Ds9's approach to section 31 was really brilliant. And while I agree that Roddenberry would have probably nixed the idea, I think that’s actually a mark against him. As many of the writers that worked with him would say, his utopian vision for humanity was a great pillar, but it’s unrealistic to think that there would…
Section 31 is best used in small doses, and mostly to show that while groups often have a desire to take authoritarian shortcuts, in the end that approach fails. That is literally the entire point of the end of the Dominion war.
