At least the OG 1701 got a good lifespan - it was no Miranda, but 40 years is great for an Enterprise.

The decommissioning of the A seemed a bit premature, though, considering it was a new ship that was relatively salvageable. Maybe its battle damage was just too much and that’s why it was given to the museum. Alternatively, the A was originally a different Constitution class undergoing a refit was was already quite old by Undiscovered country.

There’s a good chance the B lasted a long time too, though there’s no canon source to its demise, only that it’s not in the fleet museum.

The nice thing is the tape is all over YouTube, so you can watch all the campy clips of totally not Gowron.

There’s also a version done in Tabletop Simulator, though I have no clue if it’s any good.

I didn’t even immediately notice the photo was of the VHS board game. 🤣

Or just see if the kiss happens at timestamp 10:25 in the episode.

My dream set is a Cali class.

What about Starfleet’s behavior towards the Illyrians, though? It suggests that the law affects all species in the Federation, rather than it being some sort of United Earth law.

What if she made a human from scratch, though?

Another update (12/27/2024): In 1x07:”Much Ado About Boimler”, there are kids aboard the Rubidoux, which suggests at least some Cali-class vessels have children.

Also, little-known fun fact: the cow is a full Lieutenant.

In which media format? Stupid Paramount+ is going to have its stupid “not commercials” at the beginning of episodes, which might bork the timing.

As it’s Tawny Newsome, I’m giving it a chance.

My dream trek show, though, would be a semi-anthology that explores different crews (mostly non-Federation, but maybe one), sort of like if LD:”Wej Duj” was a series. Each crew would have a self-contained 50 minute plot, and then you would have them meet up for a finale (hopefully in two parts) with a meetup of each crew.

The one episode idea I have would be called something like “Cetacean Ops”, featuring a Starfleet vessel commanded and mostly staffed by aquatic (and some amphibious) life forms, except for main engineering. In addition to exploring what the heck whales do in the Federation, we could explore the dynamics of how non-aquatic and aquatic crew interact and try to prevent loneliness.

I think The Orville improves over time - I initially hated both Isaac and Gordon, but they do good things with them later.
