If you haven’t heard of it, this island has a population that the world has collectively decided to leave alone, mostly because they have proven, on multiple occasions, that they absolutely do not want visitors. Like, arrow-to-death anyone attempting to land or even visit near their shores.
This probably cannot go on forever… but maybe, it could. Essentially, we are already implementing a ‘Prime Directive’ of sorts here. Would the 23rd, 24th, … centuries in Star Trek canon still have this little island on Earth, isolated from not just from Earth’s own unified Federation society, but from the greater Federation races? What steps would the Federation and Earth take to maintain their isolation and the ecosystem on which they depend?
Would make for an interesting episode, or at least a cool side-note reference in one :)
That island is safe but you just know Riker is going to touch everything on MILF Island.
Starfleet HQ, 5 minutes later:
I am getting off on milf island - Riker probably
Sadly it was funnier before it became a real thing. I guess it goes to show how smart 30 Rock’s writers are. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MILF_Manor
Oh dear god, we live in the worst timeline.
Yeah, it was funny on 30 Rock because it was an over-the-top trashy parody. When it became real, it’s just cringe.
Too late. Kirk already romanced one of the women and killed a man in ritual combat.
