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!
#whew tough choice. i don't even know#i chose snw. the second season was pretty much garbage. like on fire garbage#picard i can't even say i hate it because i'm in the ''it could be good if it was better'' delusion for it and also it gave me old man worf#and seven who is queer and bad at things#picard is like garbage that someone keeps trying to set on fire but it's been rained on too much so the flame doesn't quite catch#my third choice would have been discovery but that's not really fair to it. i gave up on that show sometime in the third season i think??idk#it was too overwhelming for me. and some of the plots were so so bad#but it did always feel like it was trying to be good. which i don't think snw is#snw is trying to be popular. not good#anyway. who is picking tas why does that have any votes#if you don't like tas you need to grow up#let whimsy and giant spock into your heart

the most romantic thing ever to be honest with you. i think statues and carvings in klingon culture run a really cool and compelling parallel and make a fantastic aid to the function/beauty of storytelling and poetry and song. there's a few examples of the importance of stone carving in the show/beta-canon, including of course worf's statue of kahless and morath, but there's also a famous historical statue of the lady lukara on qo'nos that was personally carved by kahless with a bat'leth, and the hall of heroes on qo'nos/hall of warriors on ty'gokor are full of statues that serve as a really proud reminder of their history
i think that sculpture work and carving being a big part of klingon culture really fits into the ideas that were introduced in the paq'batlh by marc okrand- according to him, in klingon music, beauty is the result of two forces opposing eachother, and the blurring of the line between the audience and the story is a natural part of klingon opera- the audience is encouraged to join in the narrative and become part of it.
i can see this being a natural result of the sculpting process- the sculptor and his material, the story he's trying to tell through the carving, the shaping and the molding- he shapes the material, and the material shapes the story, and in that way the line is blurred- the sculptor becomes part of the story he's trying to tell because he has to form it, and the opposition between the two of them- the material vs the sculptor represents this honorable challenge and this potential and this battle, because it needs to be shaped into the kind of narrative you want to tell the way you'd like it to be told. and the end result is organic in that same way, it evolves and changes as you work (or in the case of oral storytelling, as it's retold and shared), and just. i don't know if this is intentional across the whole show/franchise but i can really see the way this art form in particular might become a big part of klingon culture and history

Time loop where the objective of the loop is to not learn a lesson. You repeat the day over until you give up on improvement, and once it breaks you only have vague memories of how hopeless trying is. You go through life never growing because any time you do, you do it over and over and forget. Eventually you grow old and die.
