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.

This is the one I was thinking of: https://imgflip.com/memegenerator/315894489/Star-Trek-Riker-Confused-In-Hallway

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.)

Wow yeah that looks really cool!

This is cool, thanks for sharing!

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!

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 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.
