I feel like Paramount always saw Voyager as a family show. That's why they were so irked when they wanted to make it darker.

Did she leave that gun with that little boy?

I thought the Miradorn were interesting. The twin bond that they have seems to suggest they have some kind of mental abilities, some way to connect the two people. They were listed as 'quarrelsome', could be an interesting mirror for the Tellarites, coming from a non-Federation species. They sided with the Dominion in the war, too, so they don't seem to think much of the Federation. Could make for an interesting antagonist.

edit: Thought about this some more. What if the twinned Miradorn didn't refer to brothers from the same mother? Perhaps their whole society consists of twinned people. Perhaps they have some sort of process where they bond two of their people together, for life, and that's how they run their world. Think of how dangerous an adversary that would make, there's always two of them. Even better if they have some sort of 2 person hive mind between them, so that they can work together seamlessly, even at a distance. Like some kind of organic grassroots Borg.

I feel like they would have done so much better if they just played Netflix and Amazon off each other to pay for the content, and never spent a cent on the albatross Plus has become.

They think that whole "home of Star Trek" was marketing fluff, but I took it as a promise.

Must have happened real recently, I was watching DS9 on Netflix in Canada in April.

Sounds good to me, I'll wait till you guys get it sorted out. Thanks a lot for doing this!

Is it still on Netflix? I lost access when they stopped password sharing but last I checked they had everything before Discovery.

Not unfair. I guess I do dare. Fortune favors the bold. ;)

I'm just saying, I feel like the fact that that visceral reaction even happened is a testament to how talented the people who make Star Trek are. If they weren't Omega level talented, they wouldn't have provoked that strong reaction, they might not have provoked a reaction at all.

I dunno about that. I thought The Wolf Inside was a peak episode, and it was in season 1. It doesn't really require a lot of time, they pulled that together in what, a year from when they first got the team together? These are frigging talented people. The Harry Mudd episode was peak, too. That's two in the first year, starting from nothing.
