How could translators possibly know what is a proper noun and what isn't in an alien language?

Weird, somehow I've never heard of this species or seen one in another Star Trek series. From a cursory internet search that might be because I've never seen Star Trek: the Animated Series.

It would be nice if the show was not afraid of killing named characters in general. Whenever someone dies it is almost exclusively a random character brought onto that episode just to die. Tasha Yar dying is more of an anomaly and never made the show feel like it had high stakes for me.

It will be interesting to see how bad they botch Three Body Problems US adaptation.
**Ode to Spot** >Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature, An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature; Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses. >I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations, A singular development of cat communications That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection. >A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents; You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance. And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion, It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion. >O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array. And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
I've never seen Star Trek TOS so I don't know for sure if this is explained anywhere. Does anyone know why they made the switch from red shirts to yellow shirts between commanding officers and security between TOS and TNG?

Kind of random, but maybe we could have a place to post out of context Star Trek screencaps? It doesn't feel quite /c/risa like, but who knows.
Either way I think we should have a community called /c/Q-Continuum even if I have no idea what it should be for. 😅

The weird 6 layer chess they have is just as baffling.
Edit: I did find this page though that explains it in great detail. http://meder.spacechess.org/3dschach/chess3d.htm

It's curious that despite this cultural revolution that led to founding of planet Vulcan they are still basically equals technologically. It doesn't appear that a few thousand years of excess emotion and violent tendencies has been at all detrimental to Romulan technological advances.

I'd like to know what the game even is. Is it necessary for the 3 screens to be rotating at all times? Perhaps that is just part of the challenge.
