Star Trek: Treasures/Tropes

* Casting Gag: Playing a dangerous criminal boss is something right up Vincent D'Onofrio's alley.
* Central Theme: Whether people can or can't learn from mistakes made by their ancestors. Are we doomed to an endless cycle, or is there another path?
* Oddball in the Series: This is the first Star Trek project where the Federation and Starfleet don't play a major role.
* Reffited for the Sequel: The original idea for the Ferengi was for them to be serious adversaries in Star Trek: The Next Generation. A Ferengi serving as the main villain of the show somewhat brings back that idea.
* Unexpected Character: Few expected the Independent Archeologists Guild first seen in Lower Decks to be given their own show.
