I like my Quark version:

Seriously, though. Why do Quark and Doofenschmirtz give kind of the same vibes? I guess part of it is a Perry the Platypus dynamic with Odo.

This is simultaneously a post-modern masterpiece and the most disgusting, atrocious thing I have ever seen.

Be seeing you. 👁️👌

Meanwhile, me:

My head canon is there is a different Musk they’re talking about that isn’t a Nazi, and Lorca’s name drop was mirror universe stuff. 😂

I hope we can yeat Saru in somewhere else - at least the occasional appearance on STA. Let’s hope that Robert Picardo claiming “he’ll be deeper” means he’ll be 99% comic relief like when he said he’d be “more than comic relief” in Prodigy, meaning the show will be a banger rather than a melodramatic despair-fest with the occasional redeeming quality.

Either that or throw him through a portal to another era and call it temporal causality, although I guess the only currently running show they could throw him in is SNW, which wouldn’t make sense for obvious reasons. Now if Prodigy got its (unfortunately improbable) season 3 and he somehow managed to appear and they made a good plot out of it, I might not mind.

I have to agree that First Contact uniform is top-tier.

Also, guy misdated the Romulan supernova.

And Prodigy (though after Lower Decks):

No. That was in TMP. To be fair, that’s two TOS movies where mysterious probe threatens the Federation.

Although Eureka has got to have one of the worst depictions I’ve ever seen.

Maybe from 2371-2378, while Tom Paris was busy being his Delta Quadrant counterpart.

Like, I don’t hate Tom Paris (at least late VOY, anyway), but you can’t deny that in combination with his early personality, that face just looks inherently punchable for some reason.

The planet had previously industrialized and since de-industrialized by choice.

Unfortunately, he died after being shot midair by Libyans while falling off a cliff into molten drip.

You mean Kruge?

Reminds me of this classic:

I do have to agree. The setting may be the best part of later seasons of DISCO, even if they (in my personal opinion) frequently squandered it.

Like, I felt like they didn’t need to make up the DMA - they had practically seasons worth of material written for them just from the inherent realities of the setting.

I take this with a grain of salt, in part because of this past headline: Robert Picardo Says The Doctor Isn’t Just Comic Relief In ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Season 2

Which isn’t to say I hated him in Prodigy. Rather, I wonder if by “deeper”, it means he’ll be absolutely ridiculous, just rambling about opera and holonovels all the time, and the writing won’t be all dark and brooding on this show.

It took a good minute for me to decode that acronym.

I guess I usually don’t acronym that film and just refer to it as VI or by its full name

Glorious use of sarcasm.

In terms of writing, they really captured him well on Prodigy, though he was almost entirely a comic relief character.

Looks-wise, he definitely triggered the uncanny valley and was one of the worse aesthetic adaptations of a legacy character in that show. In general, there are some unintentionally terrifying officers on that show.

I do have to say that was one thing Lower Decks did well - when they brought on a legacy character, they were aesthetically recognizable, but never a caricature.
