I don’t really believe in karma. Too many bad things happen to me when I don’t have it coming.

I listened to an audio version of this on my phone, so I have mixed feelings about this -

Back in the day, #StarTrek tackled important social issues - like the scourge of hippies walking around half naked and calling you “Herbert” when you yell at them to put on some clothes.

Wouldn’t that make it easier to find a needle? Just saying. I guess we’ve found something that Genesis is bad at, making analogies.

Rewatching episode 2 of #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy. It seems pretty clear that the Betazoid President was there to “Say no” to the Federation. Presumably the public negotiations in front of the students were meant to convince the voters at home on Betazed that rejoining the Federation was a bad idea. There are also subtle, little hints that Admiral Vance is talking to Federation officials off screen. This makes the final offer which the Betazoid President can’t refuse more plausible and makes the episode work better for me.
