Yes I vaguely recall it being mentioned in VOY? Maybe? 

Actually Picard deals very well with this in the second season by clumsily saying that due to all the wars, records from this period are deeply fragmented.

Sameeeee

The answer is because this show was willed into existence from the extremely strong feedback fans came pouring out with online about Pike and co during S2 of Discovery. They showed an overwhelming demand and the corporate overlords answered. Everything else is just PR speak.

Yeah the plot-conveniences were certainly some.... choices!

Also wtf has been up with this criminally short episodes. One of them was something like 37 minutes or something. Use your hour people! Not least of all since I’m paying for this shit!

Omg yes. “Feeeeeeemale”

I can’t help but feel like it’s repeating the same misdeeds from seasons one wherein in ponders grand questions and fulfills the answer in the worst way possible.

I mean they also kind of look like Drag Race rejects. 

Rom is the current Grand Nagus of Ferenginar. 

Meryl Streep or gtfo 

Ooooooh apologist! Didn’t take long.

LOL you idiot. Chortling hard.

Yes $150 *is* cheaper than most smartphones. ;)

Call me crazy, but we could also just ignore it and let people who enjoy such things enjoy such things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Don’t worry you’ll be able to jizz too when your balls finally drop, edgelord. 

The episode’s title is “Two of One” in the style of a Borg designation, not “Two For One”.
