1 | * BaseBreakingCharacter: Burgoyne 172 is someone that many fans like for being a snarky non-binary engineer with a passionate romantic side. Others think their treatment of Doctor Selar borders on, if not crosses sexual harassment. |
2 | * DesignatedVillain: Edward Jellico, until "After the Fall". |
3 | * FairForItsDay: Burgoyne's status as a non-binary gender character is not something that was commonly seen even in science fiction either. However, them being a sex obsessed {{Jerkass}} turned some fans off. |
4 | * HilariousInHindsight: Captain Picard eventually ''does'' become the Commandant of Starfleet Academy in ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' season 2. |
5 | * ShockingMoments: Series average of 2 per book. That's not surprising when we consider some of the content: a giant energy being shaped like a flaming bird, which hatches out of a planet and later impregnates a starship; a one-eyed, one-horned, giant purple people eater; a woman who looks like Lwaxana Troi and Christine Chapel, and is immortal...who then dies, except that her consciousness is now inside a starship; a helmsman who regularly sleeps at his post and is a god, the son of Father Christmas/Odin the All-Father/Zeus; a hermaphrodite chief engineer (hir whole species is hermaphroditic) who impregnates a Vulcan, of all people; and a book partially set inside a pocket universe that is, for all intents and purposes, a jellyfish. Basically, the series is one giant MindScrew. |
6 | * SpiritualAdaptation: |
7 | ** ''Series/TheOrville'' is channeling ''Film/GalaxyQuest,'' and this. Similar mix of humor and drama, similar MoodWhiplash, similar classic Franchise/StarTrek feel, similar MindScrew concepts, as well as the concept of the Captain's Ex being his first officer. |
8 | ** According to WordOfGod, the ''Literature/SpaceAcademy'' series were partially inspired by these as the author read them growing up. |
