The show-runners of the highly anticipated new CBS Star Trek series have said their Klingons will symbolize Trump supporters in modern America.

If they’re still debating that in the 23rd century, that just means libiots still exist.

I’m talking about The Orville. Not sure when it’s supposed to take place. But, your point stands either way.

Outside of the first episode, you have to pay to watch this on CBS All Access. That settles the problem for you, as I’m sure you won’t pay to watch muted ships. :)

Stewart’s only decent role was that of Lucius Aelius Sejanus in I, Claudius!

Every show the broke the prime directive.

If they didn’t there would be virtually zero episodes.
