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.
@FormerGameDev yeah not a bad idea. I don’t recall them doing so for Earth locations before but that doesn’t have to stop them.
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.
