My personal headcanon has always been that the Pakleds are actually surrounded by some sort of intelligence dampening field. Because it’s like the crew gets dumber and misses basic things, just to have a reason to keep the drama going.
I’m glad someone said this before I had to, thanks to Lower Decks pakleds are now easily the best C-tier star trek species.
Even before lower decks, “We look for things that make us go” is just an excellent meme.
Edit: Oh, this person is a first contact hater. While I don’t disagree with eveyr one of their opinions, they can now be safely ignored as a general rule ;)
TBF it’s only hated in implication but that’s too much for me.
Not only that in the same section he goes on to say that Frakes could have taken notes from TMP on how to set up Insurrection which is just… the weirdest take, since IMO those movies suffer from almost the exact same problems that come from making a pretty mid episode into a feature film.

I like all the trek movies up until the Kelvin timeline movies lmao
Any trek movie/episode that features self-destruct to completion and/or ramming a ship into another as last ditch effort is automatically S-tier in my book lolol
I don’t blame you for the linked article. Although I can’t agree with liking st5 or nemesis, I am entirely behind you on the ramming/self destruct part.
On the contrary, Lower Decks made the Pakleds more than a one episode farce.

Having grown up with TNG as my intro to Trek, this First Contact besmirchment will not stand!
