I would appreciate an explanation as to what solarpunk is.
- Comment on Canon Connections: Star Trek: Section 31 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if our boi Ash Tyler had something to do with that when he covered up what happened to Discovery (and, I guess, to Leland). Maybe he decided to remove Georgiou from that whole situation and falsify a record saying she disappeared some time later.
That would make more sense than almost anything that happened in the film.
I also wonder if Ashy T. is still involved with S31 at this point - the man’s a Klingon, so he’s got the life span for it.
I think that if Ash Tyler was involved in S31, they might be a bit more subtle. Also, he probably wouldn’t have been on board with calling the director or handler or whatever Jamie Lee Curtis was supposed to be “Control.”

I don’t think we watched the same film.

The nose of the Defiant-class was designed by the same engineers who made the turbolift shafts aboard Discovery.

- Comment on Tholian Expansion coming to Star Trek Ascendancy 2 months ago:
In the preview of the ships, it claims they models are based on what was seen in the remaster of “The Tholian Web”, but the models shown look more like a Tholian carrier from STO. I’m assuming that what’s in the preview is just the fleet tokens – for anyone who hasn’t played the game, each faction has three larger fleet tokens which indicate a number of their base ships, usually with some unique ability for each fleet – and their base ships will look like what was seen in the show.
Also, one more faction to go. I’m going to bet Orions, but I’d love it if they did a Terran Empire expansion introducing the mirror universe to the game.

- Comment on B’Elanna’s stance on afterlife. 2 months ago:
B’Elanna had an experience, that at the time she very strongly believed to be real, but she’s also a person of science. I feel like it would be out of character for her to not have some questions, even after her journey to Gre’thor.
In “Tapestry”, when Q tells him, “I told you. You’re dead. This is the afterlife, and I’m God,” what is Picard’s response? “You are not God.”
B’Elanna’s in a similar situation. She’s informed that she’s on the barge of the dead, but is that necessarily divine? Perhaps Gre’thor is an alternate dimension, or something like inside of the Nexus. Fek’lhr could be a powerful being, not wholly dissimilar from Q. In “Homefront”, Worf claims that Klingons killed their gods for being “more trouble than they were worth,” perhaps that was more than just Klingon myth. We know that aliens visited Earth and were perceived to be deities. The Greek pantheon in “Who Mourns for Adonias”, Kukulkan was believed to be the Quetzalcoatl as per “How Sharper than a Serpent’s Tooth”, and even Satan from Christian mythology was the being Lucien depicted in “The Magicks of Megas-Tu”.
Given everything B’Elanna should be aware of regarding the nature of the galaxy, blind faith in an afterlife, even one she’s ostensibly experienced first hand, does seem like a big ask.

So, is Rutherford growing a beard because he’s also trying to copy Beardler’s path to success as opposed to copying an alternate version of himself?
- Comment on Preview ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Episode 507 With New Images From “Fully Dilated” 2 months ago:
I like it when we get new aliens that look very similar to established aliens. There’s so many species out there, especially in TOS, and early TNG, that are just humans with a silly hat. When we see Mintakans (Vulcans/Romulans), or DS9 Trill (Kriosans), or even Denobulans (Cardassians), it makes me glad to know that evolution does not just make a bunch of different humans with an occasional one off.

I’m going to guess the new problem ensign is one of the Platonians from the TOS episode, “Plato’s Stepchildren”.

- Comment on Preview: The Cerritos Crew Starts A New Comic Book Adventure In First Issue Of ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ 3 months ago:
Super excited to get more Ryan North LDecks content.
Though I really wish it was Chris Fenoglio doing the art. Fenoglio did the three issue mini, as well as the recent Warp Your Own Way choose your own adventure graphic novel, both with North, and he’s able to pull off the LDecks style flawlessly. Derek Charm is an artist whose work I quite like, and I did enjoy his Shaxs’ Best Day – who doesn’t like Shaxs beating up a Klingon mech? – but his renditions of the characters are a little bit off model.
Still gonna read the heck out of this.

That’s…a lot of assumptions not in any way supported by the linked article.

I am very concerned that this episode is going to mess up all the plans I have for the Starbase 80 fan comic I’ve been wanting to do, but never actually will.

Which is baffling, considering just how visually interesting the sport is.
- Comment on “Star Trek Origin” Movie Reportedly Headed To Greenlight For Production Start In Early 2025 3 months ago:
This is an excellent question.
I kinda hope it’s like a movie about the literal origin of Star Trek as a television show. At this point, I feel like that would have a better chance of actually getting made then anything set in universe.

- Comment on Gorn expansion coming for Star Trek Ascendency 3 months ago:
I don’t know if the base game is out of print – I just checked a couple different stores, including GF9’s web shop, and it looks like you can still get it – but they did recently announce a Final Frontier collection coming out in 2025, which is going to include every previous expansion, and some new stuff, like the Gorn apparently, as well.
