Why she’s only credited by her first name: because she asked and Mike McMahan agreed even though he didn’t know why.

That’s actually interesting!

It was a masterpiece. Definitely an outlier in its craziness, but there’s room for that in such a big franchise, and it will be missed!

At first, I really hated this show, and really just hate-watched the first season. But it grew on me and I think I thought of it as not-so-bad by the end of the season. But it kept improving, and I think it stands out as probably the best of certainly modern Trek.

This show was a rare combination of being funny and actually good sci-fi at the same time. It contrasted so much with another Star Trek show that ended this year where characters took themselves way too seriously, and every single day the fate of the whole universe depended on their one ship.

It’s exaggerated but yes, this map really reminds me of many large Chinese cities. It’s probably true every major city has a People’s Square. I think the map is based on Beijing.
