A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

    in this version of Star Trek, science is magic

    Science is magic in every version of Star Trek. TOS has Mind Melds and Greek Gods. Throughout the TNG era is the implication that evolution has a will of its own that can’t (or mustn’t) be subverted. DS9’s main character eventually learns he’s a demigod.

      There’s a version of it that at least pretends to use scientific principles as a basis. I’m not going to say it’s lazy writing when characters just assume that their wobbly wobbly future science will protect them, but I do wish there was more lip service given to it.
