Truly we have no punishment to fit their crime.
Ii believe Neutral Good is Doctor Reyga, the Ferengi scientist whose murder Doctor Crusher investigated during “Suspicions”.
We do ban people for being bigots. Take a month off, champ.
Actually it's both!
When I was trying to think up a suitable title, Billy Shakes was the first thing that came to mind as I am a fan of the Bard. Then I remembered its use in 'Westworld' and that cemented my decision as it seemed appropriate, given the content of the image.
Fair, PIC did have some pretty rugged moments.
But would you say you actually experienced trauma watching season one, and then that trauma was alleviated watching season three?
If I'm remember correctly from Michael Chabon's instagram AMAs, apparently the relationship was based entirely on the chemistry that Ryan and Hurd had when they attended events together, so it was very last minute that they added the tease of a budding relationship in that final scene.
But yeah, they could have done more to build it up.
The bar was just so low after the TNG movies and first two season of PIC that traumatized fans were happy to have a seemingly final sendoff that wasn’t completely terrible.
"Traumatized?" We are talking about a television show, right?
I would argue that even if season two's ambitions exceeded it's execution, at least it was trying to do something. Still not a season of Trek that I think deserves any real regard, but it did add something new and interesting to the fabric of Trek. And maybe at some point some comic book or novel will actually do something interesting with that thing, because I can't imagine we're ever actually going to see it revisited on screen.
Season three was exactly the dark, cynical mess that everyone complained season one was because Admiral Clancy cursed at their space dad. Jack Crusher is the infallible, ultra special badass everyone accuses Michael Burnham of being. Season three is ideas I would expect to find in someone's first attempt at writing fanfic, not the work of seasoned television professionals.
And, to be fair, both seasons two and three were made by the same people, so the fact that neither of them were particularly good should not be shocking to anyone.
I'm not really sure what the point you're trying to communicate here was?
Yeah, I can’t wrap my head around it either. Easily the worst, most self indulgent season of Trek in my opinion.
But it had the TNG crew back aboard the Enterprise D so for a lot of people it’s hitting the nostalgia button.
The uniform here is interesting, because the comic takes place after DS9, but before "Nemesis", around 2377. Other than the crews of the Theseus, and Defiant, characters wear the "First Contact" uniforms, yet Shaw and the other Starfleets we see on this cover are wearing the early DS9/VOY uniforms.
Obviously there could be some time travel shenanigans, which would place this in 2373 at the latest. Shaw was an ensign during the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2366, and on this cover we see him rocking commander pips, so he would have progressed up the ranks in about seven years. Obviously a thing that can happen in Trek, as we've seen, but somewhere in the Delta Quadrant Harry Kim just punched a bulkhead and has no idea why.
