I like Star Trek V. I’ve never really understood why people say TMP is the most like TOS, I think it has a pretty significantly different tone, but V really just feels like a middle of the road TOS episode with a way bigger budget, and I think it’s a bunch of fun.

That makes sense, I would get it if it had happened earlier in the episode and this was the big reveal, but it just happened a couple minutes ago and was still fresh in my mind, so it just seemed excessive and ruined the pacing a bit imo

Minor nitpick in an otherwise really good episode, but it was weird how they put in flashbacks of Una’s testimony when Neera was reading the asylum law. That scene had literally just happened, did they make this episode expecting people to be on their phones half paying attention because there aren’t any explosions or something?

He definitely improves as the series goes on. I think most of the hate comes from Season 1 where he’s a genius kid who knows more than all the senior staff of the flagship. He gets a lot better when his stories aren’t just him whining about how no one recognizes how much of a genius he is.

I found out recently that there are people who will watch shows and just fast forward to the next scene if they get bored.
