yes, this is certainly part of it (Kevin Smith, Joss Whedon, tons of people who ended up working on the current Doctor Who run).
Yes, I think that one thing the article does point out is the division between those who collect and those who transform the culture to make something new, traditionally speaking. So, I think you’re showing yet another traditional division, between those who want the technology to make sense and those who are interested in pinning down what something says about us as a society/species at a particular point in time.
I was wondering about that! How could they have NOT known…
Fortunately, I think the fandom is making plenty of Baby Yoda merch of their own…
When you unravel the assassination plot against Kosh in the pilot, it leads back to another Vorlon (Ulkesh or Koch Vader) on Minbar, as a way of getting their hands on Jeffery Sinclair and getting his mind right for when he goes back as Valen. Obviously they have some pretty extreme factions, we never really get the full story of what the Vorlons and Shadows are all about.
eta: Which is good! Elder alien races should be pretty cryptic. If you explain them too much, the next thing you know, they’ll be serving on Earth Alliance ships and mating with humans.
Yeah, i think this is key and something that’s foreshadowed and explained quite nicely in season one’s Mind War. The younger races of the galaxy are but just ants to them and have no compunction to using them to sow chaos up until the point all the younger races bit back and told them to get the hell out of our galaxy. As for the Vorlons, wasn’t Kosh a bit of an outlier here in that he had a quaint fascination with those funny little corporeal beings and became quite fond of them.
The First One, Lorien said that he thinks he met Kosh once, implying that Kosh has been around a long time. (No wonder the Vorlons have such a “Obey your elders!” chip of their … wings.)
Very tough one. I could have gone with ST:OS, ST:NG, ST:DS9, or ST:V. I think I ended up going with ST:NG because that’s the series I watched when I was old enough to get it. The Original Series, I was just too young for it to stick. I am surprised there isn’t more love for Voyager or DS9.
Looking at the votes I think people are treating this as a poll on the best series. Personally I don’t think Voyager is the best series but it has the most exciting title sequence.
Similarly Enterprise has a very good title sequence, it’s just not very Star Trek and therefore loses a few points in my book. Edit: The same could probably be said for Picard, actually
I mean, I love TNG… is it just because of Picard’s voice over? Also, I do like the Discovery opening and am surprised no one voted for it (I’m always a DS9 girl).
I love Picard’s voiceover, too. But watching for the Enterprise emerging out of the stars in the opening credits of the OS brings me back to my childhood. We’d watch the reruns and try to pinpoint the exact moment when you could spot it.
I liked the opening visuals of Enterprise, but the vocals…
