Loved your take on "interface fiction." I especially appreciated the mentions of the digital art projects at the Tate and Whitney, which I was entirely oblivious to.

The Gnawty, much like the horseshoe crab, is the perfect organism.
After time enough for them to be on the fossil record, evolution has dictated there is no need for change.

Interestingly, Chakotay is sort of an inverse to Seven here.
🥇 Chakotay
KNOWS: History is important, as is our place within it.
LEARNS: History CAN cloud our judgment and our desire to be connected to it can get us into trouble.

LEARNS: History is relevant, important, to us as people. It shapes us, how we see ourselves and our futures.
We see this in the end, when she delivers a poignant and thoughtful eulogy for the astronaut, whose remains have been brought aboard Voyager and are given a Starfleet ceremony.

The last audio log in particular is what got me. The character is suffocating, partially hallucinating. He begins talking to his father. It's been done many times but this is one of the better performances of it I've seen.
What else would you expect from Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet?

Seven is placed in a position to hear these audio logs he made *directly.* She hears a man who tries his damnedest to figure out how to get out of this, something that a LOT of other people obviously never have managed to escape. Who knows, maybe NOBODY has every gotten out of the place he's in.

2032 ST Earth is still like it is in that one DS9 people were pointing at like "look how observant Star Trek was" last year. Here's a exchange from it (graphic by u/GarakStark).
It's bad. It's rough. In many ways it IS like the Earth we inhabit, where social systems have failed consistently.

This thing has been trapping ships for a while. Meaning a lot of alien spacecraft are in there too. And this guy SEES these. It's ACTUAL first contact in a way. This guy we all thought died is actually the earliest recorded proof of alien civilizations in our records now. This is a BIG DEAL.

What the character knows can be a simple statement.
🤖 Seven
KNOWS: History can cloud one's judgment.
There's truth to that, but it can also be a weakness (as we obviously know). A satisfying arc takes us from this simplistic point of view to a more nuanced (IE: human) one.

*Admittedly the premise of Voyager finding the "same" anomaly way out in the Delta Quadrant IS contrived.
Nerd nitpick out of the way, let's talk about the actual story, which again is very good and by Mike Wollaeger, Jessica Scott, Bryan Fuller, and Michael Taylor. Directed by Robert Picardo.(?!)

Quick Synopsis: Voyager comes across some debris that pulls them into a space hole. Turns out this same space hole* has been sucking in craft for a very long time and that in ST's fictional past where manned space exploration was still a priority, that included an early US astronaut (Phil Morris).

Just watched Star Trek Voyager S06E08, "One Small Step." Going to yap:
What makes a good character story? It's demonstrating what a character
1. knows and
2. learns.
"One Small Step," impressively, does this for BOTH Chakotay and Seven of Nine.
Context and tangents in alt text as you go.

I spent an hour today learning how to isolate and edit stems in Davinci Resolve (Adobe can slap nuts so I'm relearning EVERYTHING).
