A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

    Could easily just make a whole new country/geographic location up, like Marvel did.

        TOS explained our ancient deities as aliens (basically), why not an entire segment of earth people? :D I guess it depends on just how many of the Lanthanites there were on Earth. But there’s a bit of a clue that there’s at least enough that there’s a known accent, even if it’s not very common.

        Could perhaps be that at one time there was a large population, but they decided to vacate Earth after coming out, so their accent is largely unknown to the general population?

        i’d guess probably more like they just had a very small community, though, not like an entire nation.
