I have been rewatching original Star Trek each weekend for awhile, since I had enjoyed it a lot when I was younger, but I wasn't sure if I had seen every single episode so I was going through them in order. After finishing it I was going to watch the Movies, but I saw there was an animated series that was considered to be a canonical fourth season, so I went ahead and started watching it.
I was enjoying it, when out of nowhere THIS character suddenly starts appearing named M'Ress. I wish I had known about her before, she's like an incredible mix of a cute cat girl and weird alien with just enough weirdness to her.
It's particularly funny to me how they had her purring while talking, which I understand its meant to be a part of her physiology that she basically HAS to (or does it automatically), but it also adds to her cute weirdness.
It's also funny how THIS image is like the default face they use for her when talking with her eyes looking like they are going off in different directions. I guess since the animation budget was limited, they have certain "talking faces" they use over and over for each character, but she's the only one who looks constantly cross eyed like this (as far as I've seen anyways.) for the default.

I looked at the Memory Alpha page for Caitians and it's almost entirely shit from nu-Trek, over 90%. There's even a Prodigy reference! I'd rather watch AI generated catgirl porn.

Aside from M'ress, the only on-screen appearance of Caitians before Nu-Trek were some background characters at Federation HQ in Star Trek IV. They were covered occasionally in licensed books and RPGs, but they really only rose to prominence in 2012 when Star Trek Online made them the default racial option for degenerate furry player characters.
The Animated Series and M'ress weren't even considered officially canon until Nu-Trek came along and Paramount wanted to justify all of their shitty retcons with a convoluted "if it was ever on-screen in any way, it's canon" policy. Prior to this, 10 foot tall Spock clones were considered pretty silly, and the powers that be didn't recognize them officially.
Yup, it somehow won 1975's Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Series, triumphing against the likes of Captain Kangaroo and The Pink Panther Show. It's win was apparently based on the strength of that goofy Aztec episode.
There's also fan theories that have the ship's inertial dampeners playing a role. The idea is they don't just prevent the crew from getting turned into red paste during 100g maneuvers, but also reduce the ship's effective "mass" and allow these relatively small fusion rockets to accelerate giant ships.

I'm not the biggest fan of Dwayne but seeing Wheaton and Takei of all people, absolute Z listers trying to dunk on him for being pragmatic and quiet about his politics is quite hilarious.
Observations and thoughts into my first tour of Voyager in over 20 years:
- Voyager really just turns into the 7 of 9 show at some point, damn. Maybe I grew jaded but her orbs of power have no control over me anymore and that makes the wooden acting just the more obvious
- lots of wasted opportunity to be a truly unforgettable trek, I did not see it with those eyes back in the day
- was experimenting with modern image models and decided to build a dataset out of the characters in the show as challenge for training (I really want to do Tuvix, even though I'm not sure there's enough material in that episode, do not say "do 7 of 9") as I don't really understand what makes a good dataset for current models yet. I mention this because you'll never notice when casually watching but the makeup of the alien characters is actually quite inconsistent sometimes, even the main cast and this will throw off image models quite a bit if you're not careful
- a lot of episodes are really kind of a drag. I don't mean bad, I mean "that's just so fucking sad actually"
- I almost watched Threshold on accident
- Farscape has such cool character designs even for one-off characters, we'll never have a Trek with muppets and that's just a drag too
- There's a new Voyager videogame now, here, for those here that also completely missed that. Literally stumbled across this on accident today. Vidya really going for those nostalgia bucks lately, there even was a Terminator 2 jump 'n run recently.
- I never thought I'd say this but Voyager is actually pretty decent

I dunno if folks here have seen this, but here is the original TOS tv ad put out 2 weeks before the premier in 1966.
It's obviously the dude who made it either didn't know what Star Trek was or didn't care because that narration is...ummm...not really accurate to what the show was. Anyway, take a gander!

Ryan is very charismatic. Decent actress for a someone who was literally a pageant queen before this. But she had to squeeze out the other characters to justify her screentime. If B'Elanna hadn't bounced on Tom's dick, she'd be relegated to constantly sniping at Seven like a poor man's DeForest Kelley.
Voyager is the underachiever Star Trek, everyone knows it, the cope is that "Roddenberry would have loved it!", but it has more common with "Spock's Brain" than anything people remember fondly.
Some fans were herded into Voyager because DS9 was too mean and cynical and Voyager was the de facto opposition. Which is very funny because "In the Pale Moonlight" looks like fucking Teletubbies by modern standards.
This is the show that started openly parodying itself with “Live Fast and Prosper” and “Muse” because the writers had completely run out of ideas. They’re doing episodes about Star Trek tropes. Tom Paris made “Vulcan nerve pinch” the official term, but it's just some fanon we made up in the seventies. At this point the writers aren’t even writing for the characters anymore, they’re writing for the message boards.
From what I've read about the new stuff I think I'll just ignore everything after Star Trek Enterprise, and let that series be the last bit of Star Trek material that has ever been released within my personal headcanon. The newest Star Trek media I've seen was "Into Darkness", I think that was the name of the Movie? It had Benedict Cumberdatch as "Khan" and those Movies were like an alternate universe, so I'll just consider basically everything after Enterprise to be set in bad/joke alternate Universes.
I do the same thing with Star Wars (Which ended in 2012) everything after that is from an alternate bad/joke ending alternate universe/timeline.
I’m not gonna harp on it again. Why even bring it up? Pretty much everyone in that era was behaving out-of-character. The only character I could actually stand was Sarek.
So of course they recast him in Discovery and now he’s not even speaking to his son because he disapproves of Starfleet.
When people ask if I’m keeping up with the latest Star Wars slop I tell them I’ve already watched this play out in Trek. Fundamentally nothing happens. Both franchises are just endless pointless talking now.
There was a feature in early episodes of the Delta Flyers podcast where the actors of Tom and Harry would read ancient Usenet reviews of episodes that were posted after their original airing, which I thought was great, but they stopped shortly after reading a review where a woman compared the feeling of watching that week's show to shitting your pants while driving through the desert in a car with no AC.
Harry Kim's actor thought it was so bad that he was compelled to go to usenet and defend Voyager's honor from all the Trekkers saying that the show was shit and they had ruined Trek. He'd say "I'm Garret Wang, I play Harry, and this is really uncalled for, we had to shoot it like this because..." and the fans would call him a liar and a faggot. Good times on the old internet.
I'd rather watch AI generated catgirl porn.
