  • I think both Darmok and The Inner Light from TNG would be solid candidates. Both are more about the story and dialogue than the setting, and while both have more sets than OP’s examples, there’s also plenty of room to consolidate and move scenes around. Almost all of the stuff on the planet in both episodes, for example, could be a single set with just a few pieces of furniture (or rocks) moving around to give the allusion of location changes.

    They are also very good episodes that have a message beyond just the setting and plot, which make for a good play, as well.











  • I think I see where you are coming from, but there does need to be a line where we can just acknowledge reality.

    What’s the reason behind thinking half of them are acting in bad faith? Is that because you disagree with them?

    This is especially galling when talking about the Supreme Court specifically. McConnell refused to do his legal duty and allow a vote on the current President’s nomination to replace Ginsburg. He and his party said this was because it was unfair to seat a new Justice during an election year.

    Several years later, the exact same people rushed through a nomination and confirmation of a new Justice just weeks before the 2020 election. The two situations are as close to identical as can be practical with two real-world examples.

    Please explain how this should be interpreted in a way that can be described as “operating in good faith”.
