I always wonder how the guy playing Travis felt about the writers creating an alien that stereotypes all human beings as white.
I mean, they could have at least explored how the character Travis felt about it. Real missed opportunity.

Way back in 2014 playing outside Europe was mostly terrible and they still had the westernization mechanic I think x_x
By the time I was priced out of the DLC, every continent had a few interesting fully-fleshed-out nations to play.
My favorite eu4 review
For most of Star Trek’s history, the Prime timeline holds together no matter what happens to it.
I respectfully disagree.
James Kirk of the united earth space probe agency or whatevs sends his regards to the united federation of planets 🙃
Later in Disco we see… many anachronisms, which makes it hard to write of earlier inconsistencies as just errata.
My own conclusion is that star trek is like a jigsaw puzzle both with some pieces missing and some pieces from other puzzles entirely.
Edit: as a counter point, I would say that statement is true of other (smaller) franchises, like planet of the apes.

Me watching twilight for the first time with my daughter and seeing this scene:
Trying to think of it in terms of the real world is senseless.
It’s can also be fun 😎
Since Picard 3 it’s canon that the transporter is a meat printer that relies on cached DNA to do shallow copies.
Hacking that cache was the big plot reveal of how the borg-changelings infiltrated starfleet.
ENT 04x07 The Forge might be the earliest human mindmeld and the recipient is brain damaged and comatosed:
SOVAL: He's comatose, brain-damaged, and he's human. A mind-meld is dangerous under the best of conditions, but under these…
Later
SOVAL: I don't know if this has ever been attempted with a human before.
SOVAL: My mind to your mind. Our minds are one. Our thoughts are joined. Yes.
SOVAL: I see what you see. The embassy. I'm at my station. At your station. So many new people arriving for the summit. I don't recognise them all, but some I know. A package. That's all right. I don't need to see it. Go right through. Who are you? Who?
Oh ya sometimes I forget about that. 🙃
It’s a reference to a Star Trek villain “Malik Soong” from ENT whose actor is also played “Paul Muaddib Atreides” in the syfy Dune miniseries.
Fun fact. Malik meaning king is the dead giveaway that “Malik Soong” was always a cheap copy of “Khan Singh” from Wrath of Khan.
I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
Top 10 TNG episode for me and has one of the best “oh shit we really doin sci-fi” moments in TNG:
