STD: What's Past is Prologue

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

Sign of the Times by former boy band member Harry Styles. Personally, I kinda like it, but that's just me.

Seth McFarlane understands humour the same way I understand quantum mechanics. That's why I avoid his output like the plague.

Here is the full text of the sound bite that Chuck chose:

Just stop your crying
It's a sign of the times
We gotta get away from here
We gotta get away from here
Stop your crying
Baby, it will be alright
They told me that the end is near
We gotta get away from here

There are definite shades of David Bowie in this song. I approve.

The way Chuck tears into the Spore Drive in this review is what I've been waiting for. Teleporting around the multiverse because of magic mushrooms is stupid I'd expect Voyager and Enterprise to have enough sense to avoid. And they did avoid it. For all the zany schemes Voyager cooked up to get home, they never tried anything as dumb as magic mushrooms.

Everything regarding Lorca I agree with as well. Even if he did deceive them, he's still the devil they know, as opposed to the psychopath Empress who eats sapient life forms. It's not technically cannibalism, as they are a different species. But it's still evil beyond anything we saw Lorca do.

At this point, I think the best way to reconcile this with the rest of Star Trek would be the These Are The Voyages route. Someone we know from the TNG era says, "Computer, End Program." Then walks off the holodeck and calls it bad for being historically inaccurate. Spock never had a sister.

I thought it looked especially silly.
