“To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.”
~ James Baldwin

things that Star Trek writers need to let go of:

• The Borg
• synthetic people
• time travel
• the mirror universe
• vaguely grimdark vibes
• Starfleet being bad, actually
• the Kobayashi Maru

I rated The Force Awakens higher than The Last Jedi, but due to Rise of Skywalker I retroactively like everything Abrams has ever done less now.
