The in-universe answer re: drones would be that people want to explore. Sure, it's dangerous, but it's also exciting, fascinating, and fulfilling. That said, I feel like a responsible captain would make much more extensive use of probes than any of the shows.

Re: data streams, I don't have a good in-universe explanation. I have a similar question of why they don't have security cameras in all the hallways and public areas.

Also, using the transporter to go down to a planet always runs the risk of some storm or an orbital threat stranding your party. Why not use the shuttle as SOP? It gives your away team more resources, both for their mission and for an emergency.

I commented in another post that my phrase would be his "Let's go!"

I love when Reno calls Stamets "Bobcat".

I love that, despite not recognizing this as a Simpsons reference until seeing the comments, I still read the last panel to the Meow Mix jingle, because you used the correct number of Meows.

Not paying is contempt of court

Yeah, but so was violating the gag order.

If he isn't jailed on a third strike, I'm done following this.

I decided a while ago that if I was a captain, my warp phrase would be Captain Tenneal's "Let's Go!" from MXC.

Just posting this comment to call "dibs!"

Weird... I remember thinking Eisenhower was on the dime, too.

Mandela effect?

Human life?! Who's gonna protect our profits?!

If you wrote these lines into Star Trek and had Ferengi say them, people would laugh at how over the top they are. But we have real people saying it here. It doesn't even leave room for satire.

Now we know why he was so popular on the raisin farm.

Sorry, I wasn't saying you were wrong about the reskin joke for Weyoun/Hat Cop. I was just making a joke about Andoria being an ice planet.

I always liked Sub-Zero, so I think I'd go with Shran. Gotta have some ice-themed Andorian attacks, right?

Also, Shran is a badass.
