Honestly, whilst it would be nice for the mysterious ship of destruction to actually reach the central plot someone soon, I’m enjoying the little snapshots into lower deck life on other ships. It’s a shame it always inevitably ends with vaporisation.
I was hoping the little ship of doom is using unfamiliar tech to transport the people on the destroyed ships somewhere. Mainly because of Ma’ah and the Che’Ta’, and now the Orions. But, I’m leaning more towards destruction, than transporting. On the plus side, I have an astonishingly consistent track record of being wrong when guessing story points. Fingers crossed that my streak continues.

Good call!

Woot! Woot! My ability to incorrectly guess a storyline remains true. LOL!
Captain Freeman referenced it destroying the Orion ship in the intro, so it’s making its way toward the plot. Or the Cerritos is making its way to the plot.
These snapshots, combined with Wej du, are the best intro for new people into different Trek species. I love them and I want as many more as possible. Give me Cardassians, Ferengi, Jem’Hadar!
Some of them, notably the Romulans, were a little stereotypey. I know they’re going for funny, but it’s Star Trek, makes me feel weird.
“Weird is our business,” sayeth Janeway.
Collectively, each of the races in Star Trek have their own thing that they do. Individually, some lean more into it than others, but that’s the way they go, pretty much.
