Oh the subspace outside is rippling
And the short range sensor’s tripping
I suspect there’s a cloaked ship, so
Make it show
Make it show
Make it show
Send a tachyon pulse to check it
If we’re lucky we’ll detect it
Then we’ll give it a tetryon glow, to
Make it show
Make it show
Make it show
When their ship is at last revealed
Arm the phasers and lock as they pass
We will watch as they flee the field
With a photorp up their ass
So the Romulans keep on flying
As we wave at them goodbye-ing
Till the next time they have a go
Make it show
Make it show
Make it show

The back pain due to injury is true, but the reason he sat down that way isn’t because of that. Frakes confirmed in an interview that he did it because he thought that would showcase Riker’s cockiness. Nobody stopped him from doing it, so it stuck.

The back injury, however, is the reason behind the “Riker Lean”.

I wasn’t completely certain as well, but the Canadian city name and the registry number (Vancouver was NCC-40492) cinched it.

It’s not clear. They did send a delegation to the Ten-C summit, but so did Earth who wasn’t a member at the time. There’s a background star map in an earlier episode that shows “Ferengi Territory” as opposed to it being part of the Federation, but it’s barely visible.

“Now don’t worry, I’m sending a hologram of myself that only you can see and hear, and T’Pol says there’s a 92% chance if you do as we say you’ll get sent home.”

“You seem awf’ly calm about this, Cap.”

“I may have had some experience. I find saying Oh Boy every now and then helps.”

Correct, but that wasn’t what I was addressing - it was whether there was any further indication that Ferenginar did successfully join the Federation, so I was pointing to possible post-2381 indicators.

I knew it sounded familiar! Thanks, I’ll add that.

We know that by 2400 there are Ferengi cadets graduating from Starfleet Academy and by the 32nd Century there’s even a Ferengi Captain, among other Ferengi officers.

While not being a Federation member doesn’t preclude you from serving in Starfleet, there’s that to consider.

I couldn’t think of or find anything special about Section 87 (except a Babylon 5 reference). The usual number that crops up is 47, anyway.

So tempting, but I already have the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales in those editions, so I’ll feel like I’m paying a hundred quid for two books. I also have all of the HoME on Kindle… agh decisions decisions.

Ah, ok. With minimal spoilers:

When Picard came out, it became obvious that the post-Nemesis future depicted in the Litverse books was no longer compatible with canon. The decision was made to write finis to the Litverse, and that resulted in the Coda trilogy, which pretty much marks the end of the Litverse continuity. No future books will be set in that continuity, although some references may be made.

Are you aware that the Litverse as it stood has an end point? Just letting you know in case that factors into your enjoyment.

I want to see them pull this on Star Trek shitposting on FB.

It’s a historical document!

Allowing the rotational periods of the planet to continue and liquid dihydrogen monooxide to immobilize me. Allowing the rotational periods of the planet to continue and liquid dihydrogen monoxide traversing subterranean layers. Into the azure colored atmosphere once more, when the currency has been expended. A single moment in the years that consist of a lifespan and liquid dihydrogen monooxide traversing subterranean layers.

T’Lyn was such a wild woman this week. Admiring Nya’al’s appearance, telling Tendi that what matters is being a loyal friend, saying she was alarmed by D’Erika’s combat abilities and then tossing that report out of the ship with a flimsy justification. Even Mariner said so. OUT OF CONTROL I TELL YOU!
