Historical comparisons to Roman imperial decline are incorrect.

Yes, we have gladiatorial combat staged for the ruler's birthday, plans for a triumphal arch, and oaths of fealty. But the Romans had better roads, principled senators, and respect for science.

That 80s makeup and poufy hair. The shoulder pads… Did Leah Brahms work her way through engineering school modeling for Patrick Nagel? #allstartrek (And hey, we met Brahams in tonight's TOS, too!)
