The villain, no less!
I believe Alex Kurtzman said at SDCC that there was only one more regular role to be cast, so I guess this is that.
I think it works pretty well at all ages.
This isn't a Star Trek-related story, as Star Trek is made by CBS Studios, not Paramount Television Studios.
I, for one, think that everyone better at sports than me should be banned from competition.
The short answer is that no such test has ever been produced, and the boxing association that claimed they had done one never revealed the precise results, or even which lab had supposedly done the test, and has since been decertified for corruption.
I don't know what goes above S-Tier, but that's where Ensign Janeway of the Enterprise-D and Captain Nicole Janeway of the Voyager-that-never-was belong.
I have no idea if I'm going to like it - it's definitely not shaping up to be the story I had in my head - but I'm interested in seeing them do something different.
Hey, we have checks and balances in place.
The Senate is occupied by two railroads.
There's a crossover going on with the DW and Lower Decks mobile games, but that's it.
Really, it was just an excuse to have a panel with Kurtzman and RTD taking about the respective franchises, and do some cross-promotion. It was low-impact, but in a way that was kind of charming?
I don't think I'd call it "great," but I don't think it's nearly as bad as many people think.
It suffers most from a visibly limited budget, and the fact that it occurs so early in the series that the actors hadn't really found their characters yet.
I'd love to visit the alternate universe in which it's a season four episode.
I think 1E and 2E are supposed to be pretty compatible.
But yeah...the 1E core rulebook is not great when it comes to explaining the actual rules in a way that's concise and easy to reference in the middle of a session.
