Scott Bakula: "The line I was suppose to say was, 'Here's to Star Trek The Animated Series.' but I adlibbed it to shake things up a little."
Frakes just showed up on set the last day of filming. What was I supposed to tell him? Go home?
So I just let him film his scenes and we recut the finale to what we have now.
"Here's to a whole new Original Series of events!"
"Here's to a new age, of Discovery."
:)
not including the "actual discovery series" that is.
Here's the thing. What we watched wasn't the "real world" events of Star Trek, it was a holodeck recreation. So we've already got built-in plausible deniability of the accuracy of those events!
I like to imagine some weird historian who insisted on pen accidentally flipped the '9' in '2191', and that error just happened to end up in the Enterprise D's historical database; the holodeck just went along with the error, and Riker was none the wiser, having gotten a C- in Early Federation History at the Academy and having frequently gone to the bathroom "for legitimate reasons" during his high school Earth history class. It was only in mid-2380 that he finally discovered his misconception.
Although it'd still be a bit dismal that trip only lived to 70.
Yeah, in the actual historical record Shran wasn't calling humans pink skins.
It was way worse.
We have slurs for robots now, do we have slurs for humans yet?

My solution to the Fermi Paradox is that everyone with the ability to come here would know that we nuked our selves (hundreds of times, in fact,) and basically just nope the fuck out because we're incredibly psychotic.
So I'm sure we are the slur for others.
crackerjacks, for one
