I have strong opinions about this, and you may too. But if you add notes / comments please remember every one of these series has die hard fans who adore the show.

No room for I liked them all / other movies! Argh, tumblr, please give us just a few more poll options!

Late Stage Capitalism and Star Trek

Since Star Trek series are, to some extent, a reflection of the current time in our world that the series is/was made (whether in themes, costuming, characters, etc.).

It does sadly make sense for new Star Trek series to be the way that they are. I mean think of it, we are in late stage capitalism.

Originality and artistry has been pushed aside for the sake of creating fast, and consistent financial capital.

Of course the star ships look like Genius Bars, of course the costumes lack flair and are primarily black or sad beige. As we progress in late stage capitalism we feel the binding pressure of forced conformity.

It only makes sense that the series would dilute the philosophical foundation we saw in the earlier series. TV and film since its inception has always been a part of the spectacle but now it is expected that each piece of media is its own spectacle. The cost of being a spectacle (to the degree late stage capitalism has forced TV and film to be) is the loss of rich narratives with vibrant story-telling and unique characters with depth.

Here are a few more Star Trek: Discovery episode posters that I had some extra time to design today: 5x02 “Under the Twin Moons” and 5x03 “Jinaal”.

I want more Saurians! There are cool lizard guys/girls/genderless individuals in the Federation and I want to know more about them!

My theory on the Breen, which will probably be proven wrong by Thursday:

The Breen homeworld has an eccentric orbit around its primary, giving it extremely long, harsh seasons. The Breen have evolved to be able to take two forms, each adapted to a different climatic stage.

The ordinary humanoid stage is adapted to the long summer, which is temperate, while the fluidic/gelatinous form is adapted to the long winter, when the planet Breen is a frozen wasteland. What they're made of I don't know, but it's something that's stable at subzero temperatures and breaks down or evaporates at higher temperatures.

The shift to summer happened only a relatively short time before the 24th century, and it's still summer in the 32nd. This explains the contradictory accounts of planet Breen by outsiders; the tales of the frozen wasteland are out of date.

The winter form is stronger and more resilient than the summer form in the right conditions, but can't survive in normal class-M environments. At some point, the Breen learned to be able to shift between the forms at will, and decided their winter form was superior. They developed their suits to keep themselves cold, just so they can stay in their "superior" form all the time.

Perhaps the ship we saw in "Mirrors" is an environment just for dealing with other species, or perhaps they keep their ships in class-M conditions and stay in their suits all the time out of a cultural imperative.

Eventually, maybe with L'ak's help, they'll learn that neither form is superior, merely adapted to different conditions.
