The Jedi can't get upset with you for forming attachments when your girlfriend is a hologram!

  • I think if I were to make the attempt at this, I'd have used a silicone ice cube tray. I've got one in my silicone moulds. Not as fun as the Starfleet delta, but pretty good at making things cube shaped.

  • With that many triticales, it gets to be like latinum and Borg cortical nodes: too complicated to replicate.

    Canon Connections: PRO 2x13 - A Tribble Called Quest

    • The episode title refers to the hip hop group, A Tribe Called Quest, which Data mentioned as being his favourite recording artists in the TNG episode, “Family”.

        • Tribbles first appeared in “The Trouble with Tribbles”.

    • Rok-Tahk refers to the tribble by it’s scientific name, tribleustus ventricosus, which was first mentioned in the short, “The Trouble with Edward”.

        • Keiko O’Brien’s classroom in DS9 had a diagram of tribble labeled polygeminus grex, which was taken from the “Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual”, published in 1977.

    ”A tribble outbreak once brought the Klingon Empire to its knees.” Worf mentioned in “Trials and Tribble-ations” that tribbles were once considered mortal enemies of the Empire.

    ”But tribbles don’t have teeth.” We saw a tribble with teeth in the PIC episode, “The Bounty”, but that was genetically modified.

    • Giant tribbles approaches the Protogies and Chakotay. In the TAS episode, “More Tribbles, More Tro

  • I always like getting the calendar, even though I would much prefer it was possible to get a Canadian iteration.

    That said, none of the images in this one are really jumping out at me. A cool variety of different ships from different eras and shows, but nothing really interesting. I like seeing the ships, but let's see them doing something. Give me some Tholian webs, or a giant green space hand.

    Canon Connections: Pro 2x12 - Last Flight of the Protostar, Part II

    • Janeway records the stardate 61898.2 in her vice admiral’s log.

    • Janeway recounts the events of “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”

    • It’s Doctor Crusher! From Star Trek! Doctor Crusher is voiced by Gates McFadden, who played the character on TNG.

        • ”She’s surprisingly hard to track down these days.” It was revealed in “Seventeen Seconds”, Doctor Crusher left Starfleet after learning she was pregnant with Jack.

    ”Been a while since the Shinzon incident.” Admiral Janeway did order the USS Enterprise E to Romulus in “Star Trek Nemesis”, but she didn’t have any interaction with Doctor Crusher in the film.

    ”Last I heard, he was busy with the Romulan evacuation.” We learned in “Remembrance” that Picard left the Enterprise E to to command Starfleet’s rescue armada ahead of the Romulan sun going supernova.

    Canon Connections: PRO 2x11 - Last Flight of the Protostar, Part 1

    • The episode picks up where the pervious episode, “The Devourer of All Things, Part II” left off, with the Protogies having located an older, grizzled, bearded Chakotay on a remote world. Chakoldtay immetately throws the CHAH-mooz-ee stone Dal was holding out to him at the end of the previous episode over his shoulder and goes back about the business of living off the land.

        • We see Chakotay whittling a chess set. Though as alternate dimension Kirk puts it in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, the old fashioned, two-dimensional version, ”Basically idiot’s chess.”

    • It’s the Emergency Janeway Hologram! From Star Trek! The EJH…died for lack of a better term when she sacrificed herself in “Supernova, Part 2”, but thanks to time travel, she’s back.

    • We learn that from Chakotay’s perspective, it’s been ten years since he was rescued from Solumn by the Protogies in “Who Saves the Saviors”.

    • Chakotay explains that he and Adreek stranded the USS Protostar to pr

  • I cannot recommend “Warp Your Own Way” enough to any fans of the series. Calling it a graphic novel fails to account for the fact that it is a choose your own adventure style story which makes perfect sense in the context of the story being told. An absolute master craft of the comics format. Also, it’s funny and the art is good.

  • Much like Captain Bateson and the USS Bozeman, we’re back, baby!

    The PRO canon connections got derailed by LDS and seasonal depression, but seeing that the Greatest Trek podcast was about to overtake how far I got has me in it to win it. My plan is to get it done before SNW drops.

    Canon Connections: PRO 2x10 - The Devourer of All Things, Part II

    • The episode opens in the office where Wesley took the Protogies at the end of “The Devourer of All Things, Part I”, which appears to be based on Gary Seven’s office from “Assignment: Earth”.

        • Wesley confirms that it is not the actual office from “Assignment: Earth”, but a replica mimicking that office to train the Travellers’ field agents.

        • The newspaper in the office has a headline reading “Apollo VII Launches.” There was an Apollo VII mission patch displayed behind the bar of the 602 Club in “First Flight”.

          • The story of “Assignment: Earth” did feature a rocket launch, but that was for an orbital nuclear weapon platform, which Gary Seven was able to sabotage and detonate.

        • When Wesley turns around the bookcase revealing a hidden computer identical to the Beta 5 computer as seen in “Assignment: Earth”

  • In this case, yes. The character Kirk was fighting in the gif you posted was surgically disguised as an Andorian to disrupt the diplomatic talks regarding the dilithium mining world, Coridan, in the episode "Journey to Babel".

    The Andorian in the screen grab in your second comment is an Andorian.

  • Not to be that guy (I am 100% that guy), but that’s an Orion.

  • Ah, that was my second guess.

  • Did you mean “Yesteryear” for TAS? “Spock Amok” is an SNW episode.

  • I'm not sure I believe that Vulcans would be frying a lot of their foods, but those fritters do sound pretty good. Maybe without dumping enough paprika onto the hummus to make the logo, though.

    Speaking of fried foods, that Orion funnel cake looks like an atrocity.

  • My group switched to 2e pretty quickly after it became available. There are some significant differences, but for the most part it’s a streamlined version of 1e.

    Most of what’s available in the new Tech Guide would is simply information about the various technologies players would have access to. There’s only a few stat blocks.

  • It really does come across as a Suicide Squad riff. Which I guess is kinda what Cantwell's Defiant book has been, except he's not able to kill any of the characters, because as opposed to DC's third string jobbers like Heatmonger and Reactron, Defiant features Worf, and Spock, and B'Elanna Torres.

  • Neat!

    The book that appeals to me most is Red Shirts, if only because I've really enjoyed Cantwell's writing on the Defiant book. The premise sounds like it could be a bit of a slog, but hopefully it's not just about seeing these characters eat it.

    I guess Voyager - Homecoming is geared towards all the fans who found "Endgame" to be an unsatisfactory ending to VOY. The Bridges' work I'm mostly familiar with from their contributions to Star Trek Adventures.

    Honestly find it a bit difficult to muster up any enthusiasm for an SNW comic. I'm not at all familiar with Thompson's work -- looks like he's done a lot of young reader books and Star Wars stuff for Marvel -- but I'm immediately put off by the adorable robot sidekick idea. I'll still give the book a chance, but I'm not going to go in with high expectations.

  • I assumed that as part of their Academy duties they'd need to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge.


    "People like the bridge!"

  • I'm a bit more surprised than I should be. Obviously the story in these ongoings was going to have to come to an end at some point as the timeline progressed towards "Star Trek Nemesis" but it still feels like there's a lot left to explore. Still, it will be interesting to see how the books wrap everything up. And what Trek comics come next.

    Canon Connections: Star Trek: Section 31

    • “Star Trek: Section 31” is the 14th feature length Star Trek film, and and the first film made specifically for streaming.

        • Other Star Trek films include: “Star Trek: The Final Frontier”, “Star Trek Nemesis” and “Star Trek Into Darkness”.

        • The film was originally announced in 2020 as a series, before being transitioned to a movie in early 2023.

    • The film’s title refers to the Section 31 organization first introduced in the DS9 episode, “Inquisition”.

    • “Star Trek: Section 31” was directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, who was the co-showrunner for DIS beginning with season three, and directed several episodes of that series.

    • The screenplay was written by Craig Sweeny, who also a consultant on season one of DIS, and co-wrote the teleplay for the episode, “Context is for Kings”.

    • Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt are credited for the story; they were the going to be the showrunners for the “Section 31” television show, and wrote the pilot.

    Canon Connections: LDS 5x10 - The New Next Generation

    • The episode title is a reference to the series title, “Star Trek: The Next Generation”.

        • The PIC series finale was also a reference to TNG, titled “The Last Generation”.

    • This is the 50th and, ostensibly, final episode of LDS, making it the ninth completed Star Trek series.

    • The fleet of Klingon Birds-of-Prey all appear to be the same arrangement as the HMS Bounty, introduced in “Star Trek: The Search for Spock”, though it’s unclear what specific class they are.

        • The one exception is Relga’s flagship, which is larger than the others, and has a number of noticeable differences.

    • We’re introduced to Relga, who is the sister of Dorg and Bargh, introduced -- an killed by Ma’ah -- in “wej’Duj” and “A Farewell to Farms” respectively.

        • Like her brothers, Relga has a pet targ.

    • The rift directed to the prime universe by William Boimler in the previous episode, “Fissure Quest”, opens up in front of Relga’s fleet.

    Canon Connections: LDS 5x09 - Fissure Quest

    • The episode title may be a reference to the 1999 film, ”Galaxy Quest”, which satirizes Star Trek, and Trekkies.

    • We learn that Rutherford’s cybernetic implant is called an oculus, which is a Latin word meaning ”eye.”

        • This is the second time this season Rutherford has been attempting to get his implant to reconnect to the USS Cerritos’ systems, the first being in “Shades of Green”.

        • We also learn that oculus can fire directed beams of plasma, which isn’t really a canon connection, but does renew my long held desire for a Star Trek fighting video game.

    • Against all odds, Boimler’s ongoing facial hair storyline, the A-plot of the season, seems to have culminated in his growing a full beard, resembling that of Beardler, as seen in “Dos Cerritos”. Good for him.

    ”This is our last Boimler; we don’t got anymore after this.” Boimler learned his transporter duplicate, William Boimler, died in “Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus”. Of course, at the
