I like LD because of its sense of humor and Trek deep cuts.

The LD characters are much more like “real” people than the other Trek series to me. By that I mean: TNG was full of people that I would admire and look up to if I were on that ship. LD has people I could see myself becoming friends with. But maybe that opinion reflects the age I was/am when watching each of them.

If you aren’t a fan of the humor, and don’t get the deep cuts, then I could see why you aren’t finding much to like about it.

I would have said god is a fascist. There’s a real “do what I’ve decided is best for you, or there will be hell to pay” (pun intended) vibe throughout his interactions with humanity.

But he does always seem to need money, so maybe you have a point.

I did once! Technically it was a participation ribbon. Picture it: Southern California, 1993, school foot race. I was 8 years old. The winners got the blue ribbon and the whatever second place was colored ribbon. And everybody else (me) got a white participation ribbon.

Maybe they could have worked Shran in as some sort of observing diplomat. Only taking orders and doing work if it’s an emergency situation, but otherwise just there to take notes on the pink skins and learn about their culture. And we would of course also learn about them. Idk, just off the top of my head.

I’m interested in the alternate endings.
