Two comments 

1)  What??!??  Whales, but not a bowl of flowers?  If we had both, we could
safely say "Oh no, not again!"?:-)  Actually, I guess we still can...

2)  Why don't they ever show the internal politics of the Federation?
Yeah, they tried in the series, and all we ever see of the "outside
Federation" has been on Regula, and the space dock above Earth.  

    I would like to see the goings-on inside the rest of the Federation,
like its' culture, or interaction between other Federation members.  
Yeah, sure they tried in 'Journey to Babel' but that was not enough
for me.  'Cloud Minders' was inane (one of my least favorites), although
it tried.  I guess what I'm hedging at is that I would like to see
something other than Humans and Vulcans accomplishing everything.  Yes,
this is whining, but where else can I complain?  I don't have the address
of Paramount...yet.
