I’m one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.

My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.

Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.

One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they’ve managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.

My press Plex is ready.

I think the per capita measurement of pollution for China is not really an apples to apples comparison to other first world nations as so much of their population lives in poverty.

S2 was ordered before all of S1 even aired.

Nah, it was fine.

Thanks, I deleted my comment

And my guess would be Marcy being Polaski

Y’all joke, but we pretty much had this with the La Sirena in Picard.

If she were trying to have children, sure then I can believe medical science could make that happen.

But menopause happens in part because the body runs out of viable eggs. The body doesn't produce more over a life; you are born with your supply.

Why would medical science have given her more eggs at some point?

It's not even about that.

Like 99% of women have hit menopause by 55, and the number of births for mothers over 50 with no medical intervention in the conception process is extremely low. So low that Wikipedia has an article detailing specific women it's happened to.

This wouldn't be a huge deal, except a major plot point is that it was an accidental pregnancy neither of them planned for. So it's not like she was getting any kind of fertility treatment.

While not impossible it just makes Jacks conception extremely unlikely

Fuck yeah, go watch Picard S3.

It was a fun ride.

You don't really need to watch the other two seasons first if you don't want to; the only thing you won't have is the backstory on why the hell Picard knows Seven and who Seven's kinda girlfriend is.

Right, Jack is the result of Picard and Beverly finally getting together after the events of Nemesis and Insurrection.

Now, that does make Beverly 55+ when she had him. But future medicine and all that I guess?

?

She had no other children at this time.

If referring to Jack, he wasn't born yet.

Neelix is all the punchline you need.

Honestly? Probably the ‘Lost Era’ between TOS and TNG.

Excelsior and Ambassador classes were excellent.
