but as someone else pointed out it's still not super common for gay characters, especially male characters, to be shown as being romantically involved, which can be jarring when you're not used to it. Dunno, it's weird.
Yep, many people still struggle with it. What do you think it would take to change this?
Picard uses android
He has unlimited data
I’ll see myself out
La’An calls the Klingon ship a K’t’inga-class. This is a slight anachronism, as the K’t’inga-class, first seen in TMP and named in Roddenberry’s novelization, is supposed to be a distinct and more advanced version of the D7-class battlecruiser commonly seen in TOS. We could handwave it away as Temporal War shenanigans or being one of the first advanced models introduced or both. La’An is correct that the K’t’inga has an aft torpedo launcher (as opposed to the D7’s forward-only launcher).
I've always suspected that the D7 and the K’t’inga are the same class of ship and the differences are the result of a refit, an appropriate mirror of its Starfleet counterpart. It's too bad we've heard Klingons refer to it as the "D7," because if not for that I'd suggest K’t’inga is the classes actual name while D7 is its Starfleet "reporting name."
I'm guessing it was a different instance because we don't have any powermods. (I actually didn't realize Lemmy already has powermods, sheesh!) Most of us just mod one community on our instance and I don't think any of us are modding on other instances.
Regardless, I'll keep an eye out for anything fishy.
Canon Trek is rife with contradictions. The rest of your comment is a healthy approach to thinking about canon, though.
This is fire

It was hit and miss. Every once in a while they knocked it out of the park, but other times it became /r/BannedFromStarTrek or /r/BannedFromDaystrom.
I'm in this photo and I don't like it
Heads up that you've followed a Lemmy instance so you're going to get an absolute firehose of comments in your feed.
But if you want to check out our discussion thread on the season premiere, enjoy! https://startrek.website/post/12660
I was initially skeptical but I really like this Federated business. One question I find myself asking when browsing is "where is this person from?", following them back to their Lemmy or Mastodon and finding a whole bunch of cool posts there!
A "multi episode story arc"? You mean these 90 seconds? The only way this bit of character and relationship development could be less "heavy handed" would be if it didn't happen at all.
