I felt the need to inform you that I’ve been making these since you posted this, and I made a bunch at Christmas for the fam (called them Grinches) and they were a huge hit. Thanks a ton fellow Trekkie!
I genuinely don’t understand this question. What “that” are you referring to, what “it” are you referring to, who’s “they”, what’s “normal” for “they”?, and what “it”, again.
This conversation is too Daystrom for Risa. I’ll agree to disagree :old man shakes fist at clouds:
because I can’t stop me:
Mushroom warp was “bat shit crazy” to pretty much everyone.
the last ship that tried it disappeared, presumed lost with all hands.
Section 31 probably has the whole story locked in a cabinet next to Mirror Universe Spock’s Goatee.
I think there was a whole plot about how using it hurts the thing that is the mushrooms? So like, ethically, that’s a no go.
By the end of Voyager, the Federation is beginning to understand how to build trans warp gateways (Borg tech) which is, at least practically, close enough to mushroom warp that it’s good enough.
ha! That’s excellent. I was not in a position time-wise to watch DSC S1 when it actually aired, so I missed all these shenanigans. In retrospect it’s probably the best trek to binge (which I did) since many episodes feel more like parts of a movie instead of being self contained. I’m a fan of all trek, even Enterprise. :D
non episodic / arcs within arcs make it hard to jump in and follow
Everyone talks too fast (lampooned on SNW | LD crossover even!) Deus Ex (Time Travel | AI | Etc.)
MultiLithium gets really explody if you cry hard enough.
Not Valid:
Everything is too (Gender | Sexual Preference | Skin Color) for ST (these people have a vacation fuck planet, and regularly bone holocharacters, get over it we all know if Kirk had a holodeck he would have died in that thing).
Mushroom warp is stupid (fuck you I loved mushroom warp).
I’m not aware of anything outside of the civil war. There have been impeached governors sure, but the feds stepping in to stop one or more states from being egregiously bad happened only once that I know of.
