As for why they were losing the war....

Let's be honest: a space war that far in the future with the tech shown would probably be as far beyond our comprehension as a 15th century sailor trying to comprehend modern aircraft fighting.

Not that he couldn't grasp it all, just that his imagination would be so far off from the truth it would be comical.

Like we saw with Sisko and the marquis, who cares about how many numbers an enemy has on a planet when you can drop a bioweapon on toxin on the planet that poisons them while your own species is immune? So the Dominion grows soldiers, the Feds would have drone tech mowing them down like weeds.

That's not even getting into just how much damage a single founder on the loose could do. (Just one on DS9 nearly wiped out 3 fleets.)

With some of the tech shown in Trek, almost any war has a MAD issue where either side could utterly devastate the other on scales we couldn't imagine.

The Federation should have genocided the Founders. It was deserved for all their atrocities.

Much like the atomic bombing of Japan it was not just reprisal but a warning to others that if you push us we can and will end you.

Whatever happened the the rest of the 100, anyways? Was Laas infected when he and Odo linked? Did Laas ever find any more Changelings? We know the fate of at least one, that gave Odo his abilities back.

I played STO back before it went Free2Play, and it had some missions where Laas did create a New Link, but I doubt its canon.

They almost did. Bashir and Odo had to save their liquid asses.

Ah ye, the good ol' Section 31.

IMO it was perfectly in line with Federation moral values to disengage the moment Dominion forces surrendered, which was what they wanted all along anyway.

People in this thread have said it before and I agree, being so far in the future, the writers just use that as an excuse to basically invent magic and say it's future tech. Personal transporters are stupid, Burnham and Rayner transported from the bridge to the ready room rather than walk 20 paces. Also, imagine working on Discovery, feeling that at any time your boss might materialise right behind you and ask what you're doing. Being at home smoking a J and your wife and son appear in the living room, it would be a living nightmare. Is beating off just verboten?

The depressing thing about the writers is that one of them (Anne Cofell-Saunders) worked on BSG and wrote one of the best episodes (Pegasus). I don't know if it's Canada or if she was always bad and somehow Moore managed to tard-wrangle her enough to write her best script.

Wasn't that the episode that brought in Admiral Cain, who instead of being lady Patton, was more like a typical Commissar?
 
Hm. Normally when I watch these, I find the "lost" film to be much better than what we got. This is one time I think the best film would have been something in between the initial script draft and what we got.

EDIT: Also brave finally showed me an ad for Fleet Command that interests me...

(I think ones that can't be explained by characters being wrong may be explained with Star Trek world being in a "multiverse" -- and ignoring "Nu Trek" if you don't like it.)

Fleet command still sucks though. PVP and it takes lots of time for stuff to happen.

Huh? Why would that make a difference. The rifle phasers didn't appear in TNG until s4 and even then they still fired a constant beam like the types 1 and 2. The beam special effect is what cost money.

Some minor nitpick I have with the rifles in Voyager. They have the rifles from First Contact which fire a pulse, but in some episodes they fire a beam. They also have the phase compression rifles that fire a beam, but sometimes fired a pulse. I've been rewatching Voyager (1080p AI upscaled lol) and just something I've noticed. I chalk it up to the CGI team not knowing or caring.

I always wondered how you could have rape gangs. Robbery gangs? Sure but rape?

Two simple searches on KF seem to suggest that some form of rape gangs exist IRL.

According to Memory Alpha, Turkana IV was a former Fed colony which abandoned the Federation after local government factionalism devolved into gang warfare and anarchy. Considering colonies were often outlets for the people who could not adapt to the paradisiac life of 23th-24th century Earth, rape gangs are not too implausible.

So what did you think about the episode about Quark's daughter?? 🤔

I may have skipped it lol. The goofy Ferengi episodes didn't always sit well with me when I wanted some substantial plot and drama.

Yeah......sadly it turns out that Star Trek Rick and Morty is not the only cartoon series coming out from the franchise.

Thus far no info as to the content.....but if I could speculate for a moment, the title "Prodigy" and its garish rainbow hue point towards what even now....after every horror we have seen....could well be the absolute nadir of the franchise...
