Gotta hand it to them. They sure know how to keep back-to-back interesting cliffhangers for their episodes. This show would've been so tense as a weekly release.

Oof now that was quite the cliffhanger.

And Holo-Prodigy crew is right: Coffee is awful.

Doppelgangers are always fun. I'm kind of hyped up about the personality swaps for the future episodes.

Now I'm trying to imagine how dysfunctional the crew must've been in whatever episode they had when the EMH saw them. They're usually rather okay all things considered.

With how often Star Trek is inclusive and showing some work/research, I'm a little surprised to see the show mispronounce Sacagawea. Then again, there is at least the excuse that an Andorian is saying the word.

The whales Gracie and George were stated to have wandered into San Francisco as calves. Outside of feeding events which can include the famous bubble nets, humpback whale pods usually consist of a lone mother and calf (or calves) pairing with a trailing "escort" male. Humpbacks are one of the few mammals that can be nursing and still get pregnant. So anyway, the implication seems to be that if they were both calves and coming in the same time as a pod, they must have been orphaned from their mother and part of the same family group. Therefore, when its later revealed that Gracie is pregnant this one question comes to mind:

"Was the pregnancy a product of incest?"

No wonder they were originally going to be called Adam and Evie.

It was hard to explain why, but it definitely had a "comic from over a decade ago" feel that I noticed before seeing the 2011 post date.

Don't social media prevent 13 year olds and under from signing up anyway? They ask for your age but it doesn't seem to keep kids from lying about their age and going on facebook, instagram, twitter, TikTok, etc, regardless. That's disregarding the idea that a child could just use their parent's account. What's the enforcement besides the honor system and a vague threat of being sued? I am failing to see a difference between the state of things now and what that bill wants to introduce.

The show had already established how Tendi has green blood earlier in the series after an injury and it would have been an easy to infer detail compared to humans in the show.

Other animated shows like Steven Universe already show how non-pink blush colors can work in animation.

I like it when the Ferengi stay on brand.

If you think that's needlessly specific, have you ever seen the Wookiepedia page about "breasts?"

Then again, Memory Alpha also has a page on breasts.

I'll always find it a little weird how pop culture settled on making Dwarves vaguely Scottish when their origin is as Nordic and Germanic mountain spirits.

Pike should have just said one "Beep."

By that I mean that the basic premise being: that the means of (re)creating new technology is lost, the current technology around is treated as sacred and the function marred in elaborate rituals or prayers because they don't know how to otherwise operate it, and to a lesser extent that new ideas or (often xenophillic) research is met with suspicion or outright rejected because it doesn't fit with the religious dogma.

I keep feeling that a similar group is somewhere in Star Trek, right on the cusp of my memory, but I can't seem to recall any specific examples.

I found it peculiar how the Klingons were saying there was no honor in the singing—considering how into Opera the can be known to be—up until I heard how they got the most egregious of the autotune.
