Now it's over. Loki makes Yggdrasil, makes his own version of the TVA, and sits on the throne as the living version of the temporal loom. Not sure what happens as he ages He doesn't. The TVA/Loom/Whatever exists outside of time. It's implied that the TVA crew have been at this for... ever? Mobius i...

Sure, all the ship ENDED UP being was awfully big, but the Cerritos crew apparently expected it to be a big deal before they found out it was a derelict. Fair. Cerrito's WAS expecting the Orions to have a big crazy battleship. Even still, we really don't know much about the Orions. They've seemed t...

I kinda call bullshit on the Orion having a supersized destroyer/battleship as well. Always got the vibe that the Orions had, at one time, been a much larger power. The ship is just... big. There's no indication it's particularly powerful. It's just, big. Nobody in Star Trek should really have any ...

Hopefully this is the real model and can be returned. The Ebay sellers comment of "it’s out of my hands" make me think lawyers are already involved. Almost certainly yes, although my kneejerk is to think that... it doesn't really belong to the Roddenberry estate. If anything, it belongs t...

That's probably not that accurate. The Empire in Disney WANTS Thrawn back. Everyone in the hologram meeting seemed in favor of his return and leading them (except Gideon). They also appeared to be willing to work together. What's alittle weird is... do they want Thrawn back? Gideon doesn't. And we ...

Thrawn could be a legitimising figure. People may not like Pellaeon, or Gideon, but they'll fight and die for Thrawn. That's the only way I can justify it. It's almost a rebuke to Legends or the general idea that Thrawn is just... an absolutely dominating amazing admiral. Thrawn's greatest strength...

4x08 My favorite part of this episode? The somehow death of the "warp engines damage subspace". The issue itself was an interesting, universe-affecting plot point, but unfortunately only used on like a couple of dialogue in later episodes. It was a good in-universe reason to not have ever...

The big deal about Thrawn is that he out thinks everybody. He studies them until the knows them well enough to predict what they will attempt, then he counters it. In Rebels, the only times Thrawn lost involved someone using the force in ways completely unknown to him. First with Bendu getting angr...

It was similar in Legends. The First Order/Sith Eternal would be analogous to the Imperial forces that the reborn Emperor consolidated around Byss. Thrawn was left out of that too and had to make do with the scraps that were left behind. In the new canon it seems a bit more deliberate. Legends, if ...

I think this was actually a mistake in Rebels. Instead of having a new character who could be the main Imperial governor a la Tarkin who is defeated, they instead had to use Thrawn, and in the process made him less of a threat. Thrawn worked as a bad guy in Heir to the Empire because the OT heroes ...

I agree with most of what you said apart from this. My read on this was that Sabine always was force sensitive. She just had very low aptitude, much weaker than usually would be allowed in the order, which is what Huyang said at the start of the series. If she had literally no force sensitivity the...

Coruscant sure seems to be the capital of the New Republic in this. I wonder if they lost it in the divorce when the Centrist systems left to form the First Order in 29 ABY. The New Republic capital rotates. It was on Coruscant for awhile. Then it changed. Now that this show has ended, I think I ca...

We never see the Oberth do anything except plod along on impulse, be destroyed, or having fallen to weird technobabble. What do you base their dangerousness on? The idea of a "Science Build" in Star Trek: Online made me think about it, colloquially known as "Space Magic". The Ob...

Well, that and their tech advantage is big enough that their exploration vessels with lots of scientific equipment can hold their own against similar sized warships of other factions in a stand up fight. Unless someone pulls some technobabble. I've always maintained that while most think of the Obe...

Interesting thoughts on the Klingons sidestepping the Treaty stipulations about demilitarization (assuming there were any) by essentially feudalizing their military. I feel like they all did it somewhat in their own way. The Klingons just split their forces up, so they could claim "The Empire ...

Hi all. Old Plympto back after, I dunno, 15 years and a lot of hypertension medication. Wasn't Data assigned the command of the USS Sutherland while he was Lieutenant Commander once? Everyone called him "Captain" while he was CO IIRC. Yes. It's mentioned in VOY "Nightengale" as ...

The Gorn declared they claimed that space AFTER THE FACT. Unless you want me to believe the the Federation knowingly let the colony be established in what was KNOWN to be GORN space, it WAS international waters far as they knew. If the Gorn wanted that space they should've told people. It wasn't kn...

Is it me, or did the Gorn unprovokedly attack and destroy the Cayuga in what to everyone's knowledge (except the Gorn's maybe) was international waters? How is that NOT an act of war? I think they're overdoing the (the Federation will avoid conflict at ANY cost aspect of TNG+ Trek. I think it was a...

double post sorry

Starfleet is too reliant upon their high tech toys to the point of having almost blind faith in them. While the same can be said about Jedi in Star Wars(though in their case it is more about trusting The Force), this was meant as a sign that they were arrogant and had become dogmatic in their belie...

I don't know how I felt about this one. One of my first things is... ugh Scotty. I don't even mind that he's there but don't love the characterization. Simon Pegg got away with "goofy alive squirrelly" Scotty because he's just, really good. This guy... just... no. Scotty was always kind of...

Just got around to the musical episode and isn't SNW a little early for K'T'ingas? They didn't show up until TMP, period appropriate would've been D7s or something even earlier. That was an odd name drop. Looks like we're going with "D7 IS K'Tinga" now. My take on it, being somewhat of a ...

On the "casual beaming" topic, I think there's a middle ground. By the mid-late 24th century especially, beaming does seem fairly routine but like, they're also not going to just beam down the hall just because. In terms of a planet or larger base, beaming would almost certainly be a bit m...

Kim is usually low rank for Ops, Data is unusually high. SNW/Disc seems to have LTs in the slot. (Mitchel and Owosekun respectively). Data may only have high rank because he's also the second officer. (But otoh when Data "dies" Worf moving to ops is seen as a promotion) I do think it some...

Also in regards to the Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) while it doesn't come up often it's implied (if not outright stated) that Data is the head of the Science department, it's possible that his position as the head of the Ops department is a more senior one which is why he wears gold and not blue. I thin...
