After Enterprise and Nemesis wrapped, Paramount put pretty much everything on auction through It’s a Wrap. The preceding two decades of production (from the aborted Phase II onwards) had the luxury of perennially recycling sets, props, costumes, and personnel.

The A-number-1 frustrating thing about parsing fan responses over the years has always been that they want the same thing, that’s also simultaneously different.

Alynna Nechayev will see you court martialed for your insubordination.

Random ‘pinions:

It might not be a popular opinion - Voyager is held in higher esteem among fans than I think it deserves - but I’d blame Voyager’s ever-escalating revolving door of deus ex technobabble for shooting that idea right in the ass.

For all the lauds it gets - one will grant that it was 30 years ago, but it’s still astounding how much of a crapulent bucket of gristle that first season of TNG was.

Sushi’s a great example of something we certainly think of today as an haute cuisine, but is likely to have had its origins in something far more humble and common.

Total straw man.

Her whole 30-minute meal thing, I don’t think is the basis for dismissing her.
