That's a very good way of putting it. They had the opportunity to go for a more typical Star Trek uplift, with some franchise-friendly "and their general, non-specific adventures continued…" but steered hard into "Pyrrhic Victories taste awful," and leaving the cast in need of doing a lot of work.

The headline made me think, "this is what celebrities with no interest in science must feel like when fans ask them questions that prove how bad some geeks are at conversation."

Avery Brooks has a weird energy, and he made it fit. Also, when you think about it, they had that weird mystical bulls—t from the very beginning, so it seemed like an appropriate element to include in closing out the series.

I heard Voyager did the same, and Deep Space Nine's finale was weird, if not disappointing to me (iirc)

But you say that about everything!

I know people who have developed allergies to things as they get older, even as late as in one's 50s or 60s. It's also said that the reaction can suddenly become worse, just as heroin addicts can apparently overdose on a quantity of heroin that ISN'T greater than their normal intake.

oh, god, THAT'S where Billy Eichner came from?

Well, Libertarianism… You can't just monetize and privatize everything, SOME things have to be run at a loss, and it's the govt that can afford to do that.

Well, it was a case of "wow, Red Dawn really wasn't that good but it made BANK!"

And you thought they smelled bad… on the outside!
