Now tell me how to brew beer while I run and you’ve got me on board.

How do you know! Have you tried it?

“This is why she’s not allowed on the couch” says joke to me idk.

Did you see the strange new worlds episode?

not sure why you got downvoted. its the picture from the wapo article. unless wapo is in on the meme.

that would be a pretty extreme trolley problem hahaha. did you learn ethics from michael? "kill one child, or kill an entire civilization. tick tock!"

(just kidding! i agree that the point is that there isn't an answer")

why would you re-traumatize me like this

does he not understand that if he can rename them after himself, someone else can rename them again just as easily?

Yeah, I think I get what they were trying to do with bringing back the camp of the original series but it was a bit too much for me. That said, I didn't mind their version of a "holodeck" episode! (the elysian kingdom)

Wow, the Six Flags dancing man got into some crazy shit in his off time!

Thats a fair critique for sure. I may have been a bit starved for classic Trek by the time this aired 😂 . I dont think it was the WORST episode though. I'd probably vote for the orion episode as worst of season 1...

edit: thinking about it more, i think the main "point" of the story was that sometimes the best intentions simply aren't enough. no matter how much starfleet might try to impose their moral viewpoint on other cultures, there will be no-win scenarios with no good answer. you just have to learn how to live with the guilt of not being able to save everyone.

Was that ever established? I remember having the impression that this was some ancient technology they had just always used and didn't necessarily understand. Somewhat like that society in TNG with the planetary cloaking shield that was slowly killing them all.
