I’ve been watching videos of Star Trek ships and one of the videos noted that the Enterprise started out as a Constitution class ship.

The refitted Enterprise-G is a neo-Constitution class.

In a time when Starfleet needs to rebuild (again) and restore its reputation, I think it makes sense for the new Starfleet flagship to be a neo-constitution class.

Making a statement, perhaps, that they are returning back to their roots of exploration and science, going boldly where no man has go before.

Reinforcing alliances, and becoming less militant.

But also as one of two ships has protected Earth will also signal that they are protectors.

Also, its possible even after a year a lot of the Starfleet ships are still out of commission.

Because damn, the Space Dock really showed its mettle! It was able to withstand the combined force of Starfleet.

It eventually succumbed but it held for longer than I thought it would.

Going back to the point I think in the long run Starfleet re-christening the Titan into the Enterprise-G, a neo-constitution class is a good signal and face to present to the galaxy at large.

Also, let’s be real, after all the losses, it might also be the most prudent and practical at this point with the loss of materials and the Utopia Plantia Shipyards in Mars Starfleet can’t afford to build anymore.

Enterprise-F was already set to be decommissioned.

Also, there’s no better face to present to the galaxy at large than with the person/s who put their ship against a whole armada.

And also no better person for people to look up to, for these young officers who were forcibly assimilated into the Borg than someone who has gone through it and made it to the other side.

Seven hugging Sydney was everything.

I am curious what new technology was added to the Enterprise-G because it seems that the ship had undergone more than repairs especially if it has to go through a Shakedown cruise.

Then again, I’m not really aware what that would entail, but if I had to guess Seven would be heavily involved in retrofitting the ship. After all, that was a lot of her function in the Voyager— oh I wonder if Enterprise G has its own Astromech lab?

I bet Seven drove the engineers batty. I also bet most of the time Raffi had to mitigate between Seven and engineering.

Speaking of, if and when we ever get a new series, I want to know who will be Enterprise’s Chief Engineer? It would be so fun to have another grumpy engineer on the team.

Edited to Add: B’Elanna. It’s B’Elanna, I want her Chief Engineer to B’Elanna. Okay but I bet she’s already high up in rank to serve as one. Possibly, Miral Paris then?

TLDR, it feels right to have the Enterprise be a Connie class again, and it’s so great to have this crew and command team onboard!

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

People will claim to be a fan of some thing and then hate all of the themes and motifs and story lines and plot lines and protagonists and antagonists like man I don’t think that you actually like it here

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

Can you imagine suing Boeing and coming home to find Boeing's faulty plane parts washed up in your backyard?

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

I'm as grateful for cellphones as the next person, but sometimes I think about how everyone having a phone on them at all times really did cause us to loose some things as a society. I mean - for example, kids these days will never experience their car breaking down and needing to find the nearest place with a phone they can use. They're never going to have the opportunity to tentatively approach a house only to discover that it's full of queer people having a party hosted by a transvestite to celebrate his creation of a sex homunculus, stay the night, and loose their virginity while unintentionally partaking in cannibalism. It's tragic, that kind of gay sexual awakening just doesn't happen these days because of cellphones.

y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.
