Yeah, this one has always been slated as a Paramount+ exclusive.

You know, modern medicine has made great strides when it comes to issues like this.

Despite the series' popularity with...people like us, I don't think the numbers were where Paramount+ wanted them. It seems like they have issues with animation in general, which is a damn shame.

Choices were made.

"Explorers" doesn't contain a single reference to Sisko using a replicator during construction, but he does say, "I want to use the same types of tools the Bajorans had." He asks O'Brien for a saw, and there are several scenes in which he's seen welding pieces together.

It gets converted into another form, as in the operation of any machine. I'm not arguing that it's destroyed.

Yep, raw material and a net energy loss.

The Federation might have both in abundance, but I highly doubt that much energy consumption is allowed.

All right, I have to ask - what did you do to get the scale right? It looks like you nailed it.

Oh yeah, you're right.

Indeed - for those who may not be aware, Lower Decks season posters tend to be based on the corresponding film.

We're now up to Star Trek V.
