Star Trek Crew Dynamics, A Summary
TOS: A queer friend group that has been together since they were in school would die for each other, but they are compelled to complain about it the whole time
TNG: A bunch of people with family issues decide to be as loving a found family as possible while the universe continues to refuse to let any of them be nerds in peace
DS9: A group of messy people with the energy of housemates who have miraculously not burned down the house yet are at least able to unite to try to deal with their much shittier neighbors
VOY: A woman who was Assigned Mom Friend At Birth finds out what it's like to be a middle school teacher on a hiking field trip, except the stakes are way higher
ENT: A group of coworkers has no idea what they're doing, but they'll be damned if they're not gonna fuck around and find out anyway, which ultimately results in a desire to unionize
DIS: A bunch of highly talented and deeply depressed people decide to suffer together because the one thing they have in common is how much no one prepared them for this level of bullshit, like college students in a constant state of finals week
LD: A deeply dysfunctional friend group is in possession of exactly no braincells, and it's frankly astounding that they haven't killed each other or themselves yet, but still they persist, like unholy bastions of mediocrity
