    On the contrary, Lower Decks made the Pakleds more than a one episode farce.

      I’m glad someone said this before I had to, thanks to Lower Decks pakleds are now easily the best C-tier star trek species.

      Even before lower decks, “We look for things that make us go” is just an excellent meme.

      Edit: Oh, this person is a first contact hater. While I don’t disagree with eveyr one of their opinions, they can now be safely ignored as a general rule ;)

        Having grown up with TNG as my intro to Trek, this First Contact besmirchment will not stand!

          TBF it’s only hated in implication but that’s too much for me.

          Not only that in the same section he goes on to say that Frakes could have taken notes from TMP on how to set up Insurrection which is just… the weirdest take, since IMO those movies suffer from almost the exact same problems that come from making a pretty mid episode into a feature film.

        Disclaimer: My article posts do not necessarily reflect my views

        I like all the trek movies up until the Kelvin timeline movies lmao

        Any trek movie/episode that features self-destruct to completion and/or ramming a ship into another as last ditch effort is automatically S-tier in my book lolol
