This is way off topic but I get marvel “what-if” vibes from this video. The narrator even sounds kind of like uatu the watcher. There’s so much potential for this kind of video to be better rather than a marvel formula copy.

I feel like if anyone should be the narrator for a lore video like this in the Star Trek universe it should be Q. John de Lancie’s voice would be so much better for these types of lore videos. Especially if was in-character as Q, taking them with as little seriousness as Q normally would, and poking fun.

It’s kind of always been pretty Canadian. Both Kirk and Scotty from the original series are played by Canadian actors: Shatner (from Montreal) and Doohan (from Vancouver).

I’m your host Will “T-Bone” Riker and welcome to Deltas, Directives, and Docks. Today we’re checking out the Sisko restaurant, they’ve got gumbo so good it makes founders grow frosted tips. The only war in this Dominion is the one I’m going to wage on these succulent crawfish.

Strange New Worlds definitely still has the “optimistic” viewpoint of old trek. I think that’s why it has been doing so well. I think the problem in other modern Trek shows like the first 2 seasons of Picard or all of Discovery was that there wasn’t enough of the hopeful optimism that made Trekkies fall in love with the franchise. There doesn’t need to be a universe ending plot calamity, exploration and interesting sci-fi plots that actually drive character development are enough.

Even “grittier” old trek like DS9 (my favourite trek show) had optimistic undertones of recognizing similarities between cultures, forging alliances, trying to be ethical in the face of war, and addressing social issues.

Even the underlying theme of Voyager was to maintain the ideals of the federation against all odds in the face if hopelessness.

I just hope studios see the success of Strange New Worlds and make more trek like it.

The collective has decided not to assimilate you on account of perceived “bad smell” which is perhaps too distinct to add to our own and "weird-voyager-salamander-cringe-energy ".

This drone did not “downvote” you. Another of the collective did so. Through readings from its ocular implant this drone was able to determine this area of Lemmy space is non-serious. Recommended adaptations are to “lighten up” and “enjoy the jokes”.

I am loquatious of borg, your pendantry will be assimilated to service my own, your “umm ackshullys” are futile.

I mean, they have a transporter right? Couldn’t they just beam waste into a holding container or out into space? In discovery they say they recycle everything so maybe it just gets beamed to Kieko’s Arboretum lol.

You have no xmas warrior spirit Alexander. You’re on my naughty list you little P’takh, dishonor on your w-HOHOHO-le family.

Side effect: your voice cracks in an absurd way every time you use this power. Both parties find it too funny to continue fighting. They instead laugh at you.
