Yes, seconding the recommendation for A Stitch in Time and it’s wonderful to hear “Garak’s” voice again if you do the audiobook. I also really enjoyed the DS9 documentary!
I was born in 1989, so I grew up with the TNG era and ENT, and I always dismissed TOS as a kid as the cheesy 60s original version that TNG remade and left in the dust. It wasn’t until high school that I actually sat down and watched TOS and fell in love with it. I even now wonder if Kirk is better than Picard, it’s a debate...
I didn’t dislike TOS when I was a kid (watched sporadic re-runs growing up in the 90s), but I am doing a full re-watch now and I definitely appreciate it more. It’s kind of amazing how it often manages to be goofy and extremely deep at the same time. Like the actors have a way of lending urgency and seriousness to what seem on the surface to be silly interactions.
I’ve recently been looking through this unbelievably detailed list/history of the chairs appearing in all the different Trek series/movies. Thought you all might enjoy!
I actually like it too! Though it does get stuck in your head! I agree, I like the concept of the opening sequence portraying human advancement and the desire to explore, facilitated by cooperation. (I thought SNW did a good job of capturing that feeling, among the new treks.)
I’m curious about rehabilitation. I believe crime comes from access to resources and/or from a lack of emotional education (such as empathy, patience, and sympathy)....
I was also thinking of “Dagger of the Mind.” When Kirk tries to reassure McCoy that the colony is more like a resort, he replies “A cage is a cage, Jim.” Always thought that was interesting, indicating McCoy is essentially a prison abolitionist, though not indicating that that is the dominant view that has won out in the federation.
It is the only Trek book I’ve read, and I also read it bc I love Garak and Robinson’s portrayal. I thought it was very good. When I started it I was kind of like…well we will find out if Robinson can write as well as act…and I didn’t really know what to expect. But good news, he can! It’s a great and fitting tribute to/extension of the character.
Is there a way to upload images in a post? I couldn’t find it. I remember reading here a while ago that this was planned feature. Is it still in the works? Thanks for all your work, I’ve enjoyed using the app!
Ahh ok, thanks for the reply! I definitely understand. A lot of my posts are image posts, so I’ve been popping into the browser version whenever I want to make one. I’ll keep doing that workaround for now!
I just finished DS9, and I'm sad to know that we'll never get anything like it again (sh.itjust.works)
It was so good, I am sad to have finished it....
Did anyone else dislike TOS in their youth but came around to it when they got older?

What does rehabilitation look like in Star Trek? How might we apply some of these ideas to a western prison system?
