The Klowakhans are definitely an amusing twist on Star Trek monocultures, especially when stacked up against Klingon farmers who still can't escape the call of the warrior.

There's also a slight chance that critics who have become so used to shitting on things that they've lost their ability to enjoy anything might be a nod to internet culture in general.

Great to see Mary Chieffo's name in the credits.

Sam Witwer, too - he stepped in to play Tenavik in place of Kenneth Mitchell in Star Trek Online a few years ago, but otherwise hasn't appeared in Star Trek since "Enterprise."

Rowan does really great work, both with Trek-related content and his other stuff. Never a disappointment.

In "Terra Firma" she literally goes back and tries to do things differently.

Needing to "ask for redemption" suggests there's a higher power administering cosmic judgment, which is another tenet of the ethos I was unaware of.

Yeah, I guess I forgot that the central tenet of Star Trek is that people are either Good or Bad, and there's no room for change or improvement.

The idea that a person can do horrible things but still try to reject their old ways and do things differently is against everything that Star Trek stands for?

I really don't think that's how it works.
