Yes and it starts before too much longer.
By and large episodic is what Star Trek fans want. At least to some extent.
I also, speaking as a trans person, really don't like how it handled its allegorical trans character plotline, especially relative to how Discovery, Prodigy, and SNW have handled actual trans and nonbinary characters.
Pretty quickly.
It’s a dizzyingly uneven show with the lowest points of quality in all of Trek.
Dude I've seen TNG season 1 and Enterprise seasons 1-2. I know we both know it can get worse.
IMO, all of it.
In terms of general agreement, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and season 3 of Picard are generally the most well-regarded projects to date.
And all because some poor schmuck at an early radio lab had a candy bar in their pocket that got melted.
Another key takeaway from this that I hadn't considered before:
Augments aren't just banned from Starfleet. They can't become doctors either. Speaking as a Jew my people know firsthand that one of the best ways to create an underclass is to restrict the occupations available to them. Are augments systematically kept out of skilled professions, denied the chance to better themselves and their fellow sapients? Very disturbing possiblity.
Memory Alpha seems to think that Vasquez Rocks is playing itself in that instance
Not only does she have her necessities, her pissant trailer is bigger than any house I've ever lived in and is smack dab in the middle of a state park.
Me too.
