She seems cool! Definitely seems like she gets the spirit of Trek based on what she said of DS9, which is important, and good to see from another person on a new show. Odo is also my partner's ideal man lol
Of all the characters to come back, she's the one that always felt the most intended to. We see her as an admiral in the future during the show. She might have done some damage in Endgame, but the Borg are still coming. They're gonna need Admiral Janeway
When you're trying to get a political movement going, there's no such thing as an overused slogan. The fact that it was getting used so much was evidence it was working, and part of that was because it got at the right in the same way that they try to other minorities
You can tell that Roddenberry always considered Star Fleet to be conservative in TOS. They were practically a navy. Kirk and Scotty were both military men, as were many other members of the crew.
Personally, I'm fine with this. I like that even Star Fleet has improved over the course of the show. Humanity should improve as we meet new life and civilizations. And in SNW, we saw that, even back then, there were Star Fleet officers like we know in the future, who were horrified by Star Fleet's militarization. It improves the believability of the setting IMO
That central character is the currator of the Voyager museum, and the Lower Decks crew is there to take the newly completed museum ship to Earth. He spends the whole time stressing over their antics.
I was actually looking for a gif of him saying "Subtle updates that do not impact historical consistency are an acceptable compromise for preservation!" but I couldn't find it lol
I really hated that episode for exactly that reason. I'm not a big fan of Cadet Uhura's plotlines in general. It is worth going back though. There are some fantastic episodes of SNW. Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach and the Elysian Kingdom were great, and the S1 finale was a What If of Pike in Kirk's place facing down the Romulans in Balance of Terror, which I loved. The Gorn are cool, and Spock's hijinks are fun in an old fashioned Trek kind of way that I'm glad we have back. And season 2 only gets better!
In this case though, it's a community note on xitter, so it's definitely there as whataboutism
