Survivor: Tropical Romulan Prison Edition
Love the new Featured Episode, though I'm still not sure what the full deal is with the anomalies. (T'nae is supposedly causing them, and the Tholians want to stop it...but then why are the Tholians popping out of the anomalies themselves?)
I think "Survivor" should go in its own mission arc for one-off stories. One-offs are a staple of Star Trek, right? So why shouldn't they have their place of honor in STO? The mission arc (I'd call it "Strange New Worlds"
That is, unless the events at the end of "Survivor" (particularly those involving a certain pale-skinned fella) have some foreshadowing for the next batch of missions.
I was very disappointed to learn that the day/night cycles for Risa and Bajor (Risa in particular) are not simply broken but intentionally locked into day. The sunsets and nighttime of Risa gave a unique setting in the STO universe, one where people could look up at the stars while on a beach with others, and I think the game has lost something valuable now. The fireworks don't seem as wonderful, and the firekettles don't seem to be as warming in the daytime.
On a subject raised about the prior Community Question regarding Fan Content, I agree completely with the comments on Star Trek Continues. The sets and photography are perfect, and the writing is in keeping with that of TOS. However, my own opinion is that my inability to adjust to the actors playing the lead roles is that they are trying to play characters strongly associated with specific actors and their habits. I can watch Chris Pine in Star Trek Beyond because he is playing a different Captain Kirk the way Chris Pine has portrayed him. When I watch Star Trek Continues, I'm watching an actor trying to play William Shatner playing Captain Kirk, and the disconnect that induces gets in the way of enjoying the production as I think it deserves. It would have been better to have simply used new characters who the audience could associate with the new actors.
Great show as always! Here's hoping for many more to come!
