The Importance of Temporal Development in Star Trek

Time in narrative is more important to think about time than just succession. Time unfolds so slowly which means you don't get a lot of consequence of action but you do get this a lot of play before something happens. Characters have all the time in the world to backstab each other and they have very little time for their own plans or to come together with people who are like them. It's easier to think of it as flat and dynamic um flat doesn't mean uninteresting because in arthraconan doil his writing like uh holmes as a flat character very much, he says.
