Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
My least favourite type of RTD episode is the Goofy RTD Episode, and this was definitely that. I doubt it will end up ranking too highly on my list by the end of the season.
That said, I always appreciate social commentary that's about as subtle as a sledgehammer, and the episode delivered on that. And Ncuti Gatwa's physical presence is something special - I don't think we've seen that kind of physicality since Matt Smith.
This is obviously a sign that setting up this discussion thread was the right decision.
