You might be confusing Cthulhu with Crowley. Cthulu would be indifferent to most human activities other than boating.

Totally agree about Mitchell. Rong Fu is really good in the role and deserves some love from the writers. Mitchell is a recurring character rather than a regular, so it may not be an apples to apples comparison but still, she’s been there from the begining.
Bring Detmer in and give her some years overdue character development.
Trump reminds me of Baron Danglars from The Count of Monte Cristo. Both are tasteless nouveau riche bankrupts with repellent physiognomy.
I like that both “toasters” and “clankers” are hard “r” slurs.
That’s a fair caveat.
SNW has been overusing it as a plot device. In TNG it was a one off gimmick to bring back Scotty. Still, I wondered why they didn’t buy Batel time from her Gorn egg infection by putting her in the pattern buffer. It seems like an idea that ought to have at least been discussed, but I don’t recall that it was.
To be fair, it was used the way in the TNG Episode Relics, when Scotty spent 75 years stuck in the Jenolan’s transport buffer, so quiite a long precedent.
It totally was. It’s no coincidence that it was Scotty who caught the entity and Scotty who is taken over by it years later in Wolf in the Fold.
My only complaint is that Ensign Gamble got this great episode, while Jenna Mitchell has yet to see an iota of character development and more than a few minutes of screen time away from the helm. Of course Gamble had to die for the privilege, so I guess that’s fair. Still, I think the writers owe Rong Fum some love.
That’s fair, because AI is biased against them.
We already have “clankers” thanks to Clone Wars. What more do we need?
In this case there are no competing domestic products though, or few enough as makes little difference. This is just taxation with extra steps.
“There was a button. I pushed it.” Where’s Holden when you need him?
More importantly, this will be easily undone later, unlike much of the other damage he has done or plans to do. Compared to those things, I can’t get too worked up over this.
The web isn’t just HTML and server side scripting anymore. A modern website uses Javascript for many key essentials of the site’s operation. I’m not saying that’s always a good thing, but it is a true thing.
It is no longer a reasonable expectation that a website work with JavaScript disabled in the browser. Most of the web is now in content management systems that use JavaScript for browser support, accessibility, navigation, search, analytics and many aspects of page rendering and refreshing.
Asmondgold is so far past being relevant. He was intolerable when he was simply making World of Warcraft videos.
My head-canon is that there is no retconm, or at least no need for one.
We’ve seen in ST SNW that where the Gorn are concerned, the younger they are, the faster and dumber they are.
Pike and his crew have only directly encountered hatchlings, adolescents and a very few Gorn of age to serve on starships, perhaps the Gorn equivalent of redshirts.
The logical extension of that idea is that as Gorn mature, they become slower, burlier and more intelligent. The Gorn Kirk encountered in Arena may have a very mature individual, thus his slow, lumbering pace and extreme cunning. Probably overdue for a promotion to admiral.
I found a lot to like in The Acolyte. It wasn’t top notch Star Wars content, but it deserved a better reception than it got.
My point is that Ashoka, no longer being a Jedi, was no longer bound by the order’s rules. As such, she was free to start a family is she so desired. That said, she could have done so even after order 66. That she apparently didn’t do so suggests that she had no such desire.
Master Leem wasn’t the only exception to the prohibition against marriage. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was also granted an exception due to the low Cerean birthrate. He was allowed by the other Jedi to follow the Cerean custom of polygamous marriage—he had four honor wives and seven daughters.
“I was convinced up until the reveal that the “alien” was a sort of scavenging species 0 of the Borg, with the robotic look and the ability to adapt to phaser fire.”
I suspected the Pakled myself. That would have been an even bigger tonal mismatch, so I was glad to find that I was wrong.
