Unironically, yes. That’s why it’s so great.
This week, a main character reveals a crippling illness that must be kept hidden or else no one will respect them but someone reaches them past their armor and accepts them for who they are.
Next week, oops, we got turned into holodeck characters in a James Bond program and the only way to get out is to play it out until the end.
Next Next week: Doc fucks a ghost
The week after: a courtroom drama about the rights of an android
All interspersed with the occasional godlike super-being that we’ll never meet or hear from again! (Well, in TOS anyway!)
A lot of them show back up in ‘the lower decks’, which you can’t tell me isn’t cannon.
I really should find a way to watch Lower Decks…
Should be the same way you watch everything else you watch.
Yeah we hear from them a bit more frequently in TNG. Well one of them anyway.
It’s lucky he’s so charming.
He really is though… I love him so much.
Random reminder that this exists with our dashing fellow.
Ooh, I died every step of the way.
You and me both lol
In SNW we meet the ones from TOS again but worse and without the social commentary
Sometimes it’s just the Irishman suffering while running around with a wrench, other days you accidentally change the course of a whole civilization
