This looks awesome though I’m disappointed Kate Mugrew isn’t doing an Irish accent.
- Comment on What beta canon materials are worth a look/which ones should be avoided? 3 days ago:
I haven’t explored much but I can say that the Year Four and Year Five graphic novels are legit. Also the “Warp Your Own Way” Lower Decks comic was amazing (it won two Hugos!)
- Comment on Star Trek: Voyager Theme but the theme is coming from Voyager [by Auralnauts] 4 days ago:
Thank you for this comment, I just wish I read it before hunting down the “originals” 🙃

Not to mention the adoptive parents didn’t seem quite as equipped to handle a child of another species. That said, Rugal was lucky to have so many people who loved him.

Eh it was the 60s there was equally a chance McCoy would prescribe them for low oxygen environments.

I would have loved it if the captains chair had an ashtray built into the armrest
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Season 2 to Premiere March 2027, Bill Nighy and Rosemarie DeWitt to Guest Star 1 week ago:
Crazy that from Discovery premiering in 2017 we got another decade of Trek on TV. ENT-DIS felt like ages had passed, even with the Kelvinverse films but this era flew by.

I didn’t either until I came across this episode!

- Comment on The one episode you'd share to get someone into Star Trek 1 week ago:
Nemesis is a great example of a “classic” Star Trek episode. You don’t see it mentioned very often but I think it’s a great episode for someone looking to get a feel for the overall vibe of the franchise.

Qapla’! Sounds like an awesome grandpa.

I dunno, I think it was half as cohesive.

I watched the Price is Right! It was actually really fun and they had a lot more little Trek details than I would have suspected.
- Comment on Every Kitchen needs one (or two just to be safe) 5 weeks ago:
I’m a crypto-Trekkie; if you walked into my home and really looked closely you’d only see multiple starship models, action figures shirts, lego sets and a handful of props. Not a single ceramic stoneware baking dish (unless we’re counting mugs and decorative plates in which case there are dozens).

I know! I hate that I want them…

Those exterior shots really stuck with me as well. I can’t imagine growing up with blurry spaceship models viewed on a CRT tv to the giant, sweeping, detailed close up and wide shots we get in that opening shuttle scene. Now people laugh about how long it goes on for but I have to imagine for a lot of fans it was still not long enough!

I forgot about that scene! Must be in the director’s cut.

I decided I’m going to go to one of these but can’t decide which!
- Comment on How IMDB Users Rate Season 4 of SNW 1 month ago:
Honestly the entire notion of caring about “ratings” at all is stupid unless you are trying to sell ads. Reviews are great and reviewing art is an art form of it’s own. But taking a bunch of reviews and smoothing them together and averaging them out in order to pretend you’ve reached some sort of objective truth about how “good” a piece of media is is a stupid thing to care about and will only bring you sorrow and a more shallow life.

No he’s from outer space. He only works in Arkansas.

We didn’t do many mission-type patches in Star Trek: The Next Generation, mainly because I didn’t want to be in a position where we had to come up with a new badge every time we ran into a new ship. A few years later, when we did Star Trek: Enterprise, the producers wanted a more NASA-like vibe, so I did quite a few emblems for Bob Blackman, our costume designer. Wendy Drapanas, Geoff Mandel, and Alan Kobayashi also contributed some patches.
This listicle says it was Wendy Drapanas but there’s no further explanation.

There are sizeable number of people who don’t like all kinds of things but I don’t make it a habit of pointing it out when I see someone with those things permanently etched onto their skin.

I know it’s not what you’re asking but I think Okuda did the original design
