Hopefully they've read John Scalzi's Red Shirts (for research...). Which might be free right now on kindle

Pretty sure that he has. "Redshirts" is more of a direct parody, while "The Fatal Frontier" is a rework and parody.
EDIT - The old Kickstarter page has a clear description of the storyline.

Besides Mass Effect there is one other thing that should definitely be mentioned: The Orville. Like, synthetic lifeforms destroying all organic life is literally the exact plot of the second season finale. And given that Jonathan Frakes has directed episodes of The Orville as well as Discovery and Picard, and whatever other cross-pollination exists, I really have to wonder what sort of weird real life meta plot is going on here.

Well...well, just well...
A Fed fleet shows up...no fight. Powerful AI beings sent back (by one person) and Picard,
gets a new lease on life.
I can see why they killed the paid wall but you still had to subscribe to see it Talk is the Sir Patrick wanted it to be so.
And...oh someone got their just deserts, and it felt...just there.

Yeah, I predicted it would happen several posts ago...saw it coming from a mile away.
Really would have been interesting if the Mecha-Cthulhu would have been allowed to show up.

What episode marker was your prediction?
3 episodes ago, I think? When they really started playing up Picard's abnormality

The series had it's plot holes and imperfections, but . . .
I loved it. I even got emotional watching episode 10 when Picard died, and then again when he hung out with Data in the simulation, and when the classic musical theme cued up at various points . . .
No cliffhanger, but a good set-up for Season 2. Lots of love on the Sirena going into next season, Rios and Jurati, and it looked like something burgeoning between Seven and Raffi. And everybody loves J.L.!
I liked the new ship designs for both the Romulan and Federation fleets, although I need a better close-up of those new Federation ships. I did have a quibble, both groups seemed to have awfully large fleets considering what we've seen in the past and the current "state of the galaxy" . . . but still cool to see.

Why did you torture yourself watching an entire series you clearly hate?
