I actually like it too! Though it does get stuck in your head! I agree, I like the concept of the opening sequence portraying human advancement and the desire to explore, facilitated by cooperation. (I thought SNW did a good job of capturing that feeling, among the new treks.)
Wow yeah that looks really cool!
This is cool, thanks for sharing!
They could all be jarls of Skyrim
OC-feel free to repost!
It is the only Trek book I’ve read, and I also read it bc I love Garak and Robinson’s portrayal. I thought it was very good. When I started it I was kind of like…well we will find out if Robinson can write as well as act…and I didn’t really know what to expect. But good news, he can! It’s a great and fitting tribute to/extension of the character.
Yesss I know. I read the book last year and have been so excited to hear it in his voice!
I didn’t dislike TOS when I was a kid (watched sporadic re-runs growing up in the 90s), but I am doing a full re-watch now and I definitely appreciate it more. It’s kind of amazing how it often manages to be goofy and extremely deep at the same time. Like the actors have a way of lending urgency and seriousness to what seem on the surface to be silly interactions.
I was also thinking of “Dagger of the Mind.” When Kirk tries to reassure McCoy that the colony is more like a resort, he replies “A cage is a cage, Jim.” Always thought that was interesting, indicating McCoy is essentially a prison abolitionist, though not indicating that that is the dominant view that has won out in the federation.
