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.

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!

They could all be jarls of Skyrim

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 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.
