    I think the first two hours was her going over Star Trek, then through season 1 in detail (probably too much), then realizing how long she’d been on it and flying through seasons 2 & 3 in an hour, and then finally about 3 hours in actually getting to the title subject.

    She makes some good points about season 3 being about just as dumb as the other seasons, despite being “the better” season. Having every young officer in Starfleet simultaneously assimilated by the Borg and turning on/killing a large number of older officers has given a huge number of them PTSD for years and created a large number of older officers who now hate anyone younger that turned. They hand-waved the solution and it’s just like, “Hey, it’s all cool now!”, but the mental damage would traumatize a good portion of Starfleet for a generation or more.

      Legit, we saw how both Wolf359 and the dominion war utterly fucked up Starfleet and the federation, the absolute nightmare fuel of an assimilation virus would swnd both right over the edge, full howard hughes
