Evelyn tried to make me explain the history of casual racism in Disney properties, but fortunately she fell asleep during the first 45 minutes of me trying to explain the caterers in The Ugly Dachshund, a movie which I firmly believe probably counts as a hate crime) The racism in The Aristocats is far enough in the background that you could miss it, but I’m glad Disney paid enough attention to slap a disclaimer on it. I had to explain that child profiles are blocked by default from watching the movies that contain particularly noteworthy racism. She got worried the movie was being pulled from Disney+ since she couldn’t find it on her tablet. (Aside: Evelyn is performing this week in The Aristocats for drama camp. Y’know, because we should respect our forbears but you never knew when it was about to say something incredibly racist. Enterprise might well have been described as a prequel to The Next Generation, but its interaction with TOS was more in-line with the interactions that ’90s Trek had with it: treating it like the embarrassing grandpa that they could occasionally hit up for a reference, but treating it generally with an uncomfortable mixture of reverence and disdain. They were more Rings of Power and less The Hobbit.

Enterprise and Discovery were both set before the original series, but they didn’t engage with the original series in the way of being a prequel. I mean this in a denser sense than just by the obvious virtue of being set before it.
One choice Strange New Worlds has made that I’m less than 100% on-board with is to firmly position itself as “The prequel to the original series”. Anyway, just wanted to get that out of the way in case I’m a dick about this episode. I am having a very bad day after a very bad weekend, after… Well there’s been good moments in my life too at some point I guess. Title is a florid but entirely literal reference to a big thing in the episode?: Sorry, mythology allusion this time.
