I felt the synergy between this show and Picard went a little stronger than needed. Especially considering the first season was a little weaker than the others. It also felt a little late.

I really liked it, but then I think Picard's first season was the best one, and have been hoping we'd get another glimpse of just how game-changing the Romulan evacuation and subsequent events were. I never thought it'd be this show, though...

Emony Dax got handsy with Bones in the 2240s, and Audrid died in 2284.

In SNW's 2259ish setting, it should be one of those two.

People don't share podcasts here very often (except for the one that has its own community here). Feel free to share podcast episodes any time!

Hopefully he knows something we don’t, though it’s probably just off the cuff optimism /wishful thinking.

Unfortunately, I think it's probably the latter - previous interviews have been...I would say fairly pessimistic about future seasons happening on Netflix. But maybe something has changed now that S2 has been out for a while?

Dan Hageman: Season 3 is called “The Kim Collective,” so we’ll see. [laughs]

Eh, it's been done.

which makes me question what the difference between a shuttle bay and a hanger is.

Almost makes you nostalgic for Voyager's "Shuttlebay 2."

My assumption was error in the "Star Trek: First Contact" tradition.

DANIELS: It's pretty bad, sir. It looks like they control decks 26 up to 11.


PICARD: There are 24 decks. Almost 700 metres long.

I thought that's what she was getting at at the time, though IIRC she didn't actually finish her sentence.

That would be my guess, as well - Buenamigo had the class recalled in anticipation of them being mothballed.

I'm not sure I'd leave Neelix in charge of the Female Changeling's prison cell...

 

Whenever I see a conversation along the lines of "what episode should I show my friend/partner/etc. to get them hooked on Star Trek," the suggestions are pretty predictable - your "best" episodes that are regarded to represent the franchise at its peak.

I like to take a different approach, trying to find episodes that I feel are most representative of the series - the "average" Star Trek episode. If you show someone the "best," there's nowhere to go but down, and it can set someone up for disappointment.

In the case of Star Trek, I actually find this pretty difficult, and I don't think I've come up with any that I feel are really good answers, so I'm taking it to the crowd: what are the most representative episodes of Star Trek.

To me, these are the boxes that probably need to be ticked:

  • Enjoyable (obviously).
  • A conventional structure that doesn't deviate from the norm too much - this is a flexible concept, but I think it excludes things like "Darmok," or "Tapestry," or "In the Pale Moonlight," which are not really conventional.
  • Any series is fair game.

What do you think? What are some "normal" Star Trek episodes that would serve as good representation of what the franchise usually is?

 

LoglineWith Moll and L’ak finally in custody, the Federation is pulled into a diplomatic and ethical firestorm when the Breen arrive and demand they be handed over. Meanwhile, a frustrated Book looks for ways to help as Tilly, Adira, and Reno work to decipher the latest clue.
