JRPGs are like 50% book so I say we still count it.

They were the best of frenemies.

Hey, that's awesome. I never even noticed while watching LD bc they spent so much time just expanding Orion culture in general. Such a good show.

For real. That show could easily have leaned into making fun of Star Trek just for being Star Trek. But the writers chose to punch up instead and just point out the obviously absurd from an in-universe perspective. Like the idea of ships having giant store rooms to put all of their ~~doomsday weapons~~ alien artifacts, and then ENSIGNS of all people being responsible for cleaning/maintaining said room and artifacts.

"The Shape of Water" is my response to this.

Oh, yeah, I'll give you Vulcan. Do the Xindi all count as one species? I took them to be six (well, five now) distinct species that all evolved on the same planet. As for Andorians, I guess they have the Aenar but Shran described them as a "sub-species". Not sure if that was racism on his part or not. Orions I've never seen portrayed as anything but green.

An alternate universe version where Bashir is a sentient hologram but yes, yes they did.

He's so good at portraying Garak that I seriously can't tell which recurring guest star is my favorite. My current top three are him, Jeffrey Combs obvi, and John de Lancie.

Klingons seem to be the only alien species in star trek that has multiple races/ethnicities. Every other alien i can think of all wear identical makeup/prosthetics. Klingons get a whole range of appearanes.

Just learned from another thread that "feringhee" is a disparaging term for whites/europeans in India.
