- lots more holes to pick but it is really the inconsistent world-view that irritates me. When it suits the storyline they just make up some new thing, exactly like John Scalzi does in the excellent 'Redshirts' [just read].

Still entertaining.🤭

- they have a huge crew & yet pirates manage to board their ship & capture it with no battle! 😱

- the episode I saw says it'll take 2 days for a message to get to star fleet, yet Spock's fiance appears there in an unstated but surely lesser time span, & often they seem to use 'sub space' to get rapid messages

-how often do they fly through patches of huge asteroids/debris, when they could fly around? These thing cannot form mega barriers in space - yet how do they avoid them at 'warp speed'?! 😄

the ranking for the top was accurate!

Aha! I'll leave it to @jennyrohn.bsky.social to decide but your summary, for which thanks, is the impression I got from the blurb.

Is it lablit? That is a novel with a scientist as a main character & plausible science? lablit.com/the-lablit-l...

Or is it just a representative sailing ship? Ah - probably...

Why does that vessel fly the red ensign if it is a US ship?

😵👍
