i mean, i get you, this is all kinds of ridiculous but at least one member of the enterprise crew got hit by purple lightning and turned into a virtual god and the enterprise met the god apollo and q, trelane, the organians... star trek is weird, is my point

Yeah if we're talking absurd protagonist-centrism let's remember that the pilot and finale of TNG are bookends showing Q has chosen Picard to be the representative of the whole human race in Q's test to see if our species deserves to survive

The implication is Picard is some kind of ideal test case for what humans will someday become if they are allowed to evolve into gods

This is kind of why, if we want to get serious about it, Q not showing up at all on Star Trek: Picard feels like a plot hole I mean Picard actually dies on this show and on TNG Q did a whole fake afterlife/time travel thing when he just had a heart attack

Well ST: Picard contradicts so much of all the other series’s continuity that it’s really an alternate universe. It’s really good! But makes no sense, canon-wise.

i don't think any of the shows are fully internally consistent, much less consistent with each other i just don't care anymore (since picard was mentioned- pizza dad riker is best riker)

The whole franchise is being written by Benny Russell in his periodic manic episodes while he's rotting inside that mental hospital

(Imagining the thought process behind a guy in a 1950s asylum writing Star Trek Discovery is kind of grimly entertaining)

Hell, it could even explain the ridiculous trans-Klingon parallelism, where he, like a lot of people at that time, reads an article about Christine Jorgenson that isn't very well written and goes odd places with it (with Ed Gein being the fatefully worst example of this)

I feel like Ash Tyler's backstory would be more likely a result of his fear over being repeatedly threatened with lobotomy

That's true, everyone telling him that he's so different but he can be okay if they let them do this horrible procedure on him
