    I know the show does not look ahead, but of course there’s a very good example of ‘making killing too easy is a bad thing’ in a future TOS episode. I wonder if there are any more I’ve forgotten about to make it a recurring theme?

    Ender’s Game is problematic in a lot of ways, but I think the drone warfare moral culpability comparison still works.

    I loved Arena!! When I was a kid the Gorn scared the hell out of me. It is the first episode I have a real clear memory of.
