    I gotta wonder if Romulans and Klingons encountered space nazis or giant bullshit like the federation did. Or just all the shit started cause humans were doing batshit stuff so batshit followed them.

      I get to bring up the United Federation of Hold My Beer again, awesome.

      We actually got to see how the Klingons and Federation deal with random bullshit differently in the recent “Subspace Rhapsody” episode of Strange New Worlds. The Enterprise triggered an effect that caused them to break into musical numbers, and their reaction was to experiment to figure out what caused them and how many people they could get involved in a musical number at once.

      The Klingons sent a fleet to blow up the concept of musicals.

        I just saw that episode last night, it was fantastic. it’s weird how star trek can make concepts that seem batshit work in a serious TV drama. like discovery, you’re telling me the engineer can make the ship warp anywhere instantly by doing shrooms, but only because he GMOed himself with giant tardigrade DNA? and it’s not even that silly in context because it’s a gritty trauma drama?

        This pretty much. When they announced a Klingon ship was poking around I got excited to finally see an instance of how someone like them would handle an anomaly. They had no intention of actually investigating and just wanted it destroyed. :')
