synthetic life is where the Culture series (fantastic scifi and highly recommend the audiobooks. can be read in any order but Excession and Consider Phlebas are exquisite) really makes the federation look like a bunch of conservative weirdos

maybe I’ve consumed more and more scifi over the years to compare to or maybe the later releases of trek have lowered the average in my mind but I can’t help but see trek in general as solidly mid now

heh, I’m almost surprised I can still see lemmy world from here

10/10 characters and casting, but wtf is going on with the writing
