    As a Scotsman I should be insulted but I always play a dwarf in D&D so I’ll allow it

      I’d have made Quark a space dwarf (loves gold pressedlatinum, short in stature) and I’d have made romulans space goblins (descended from space elves, evil).

        Romulans could also line up against the Black Numenoreans, fits the split from the good line of Numenoreans, Vulcans. Either is good though

        I can see the Quark thing, especially with the Dwavern rings enhancing their lover of material things

      Star Trek sems to be doing a pretty good job of ruining Star Trek these days.

        Don’t know what you’re talking about; aside from that Section 31 movie, all recent series have been stellar. Not perfect, they each have their flaws—just like the original series…

          I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I kind of noped out of Star Trek after the second J.J. Abrams film, and have only really been keeping up on them via Redlettermedia’s reviews, so that may have coloured my view. :) They just seem to lack the optimism of the Roddenberry era. I reckon we could use some of that these days.

        Oh, just watch Lower Decks and laugh. There are plenty of writers who “Get” Star Trek, they just arn’t making the big budget movies, they are doing the silly side projects.

        you can thank KURTZMAN and paramount for doing it. kurtzman said he dint care about continuity of star trek, hence why the 3 series is so wierd and out of place, and SUPER LAZY.

        enterprise for what its worth was starting to get better in the last season, but LES MOOVES destroyed the franchise, because he hated the show. and then came the jj-abrams era, which nutrek copies now.

          The fact that Alex Kurtzman keeps getting work reinforces my decision to just not bother.

      Wesley certainly is annoying for his first couple appearances, but I don’t really think we should hold season 1 against any TNG character. He has good moments later, and The First Duty is a straight up excellent episode.

      On the other hand, hobbits aren’t annoying either. They didn’t ask to get roped into all that nonsense. Elves are the annoying ones in LotR.
