The idea is that the string of lights has a male end and a female end. That way you can have several daisy chained and just plug the one with the male end into the outlet. But if you plan it wrong then you may end up with the wrong end in the wrong place, in which case yeah, use an extension cord or hang the lights all over again.

Yep! That way you can daisy chain several in a row.

It’s not cannon but at least they are somewhat officially acknowledging the absolute dumpster fire that was the ENT finale.

Absolutely loved the quote in the video near the end, where the dude said something along the lines of “this isn’t the 90’s with 26 episodes, ‘hey this one can be about a ghost in a lamp’”
So glad the franchise can “officially” acknowledge and make fun of its silliness.

It was fine. A total of maybe 8 minutes of interesting content. I enjoyed the segment with Tawny Newsome and Eugene Cordero watching silly clips. And the interviews on the street were cute.
Jerry O’Connell did have a slight “blink twice if you need help” vibe going on, but I’m not sure how much of that is me projecting it onto him given that the strikes are going on (but I assume this content was prepared in advance?). And honestly, I couldn’t do half as well “hosting” a show with no guests in front of a green screen!
The segment about Discovery was a bit… Image
And I’m actually a discovery fan! But wow that Paramount Plus narrator was so proud of their achievements, lol

I know reviews are pretty mixed, but I enjoyed listening on and off as I watched Voyager! But I will say that their episodes were pretty long winded for my tastes. In particular, while I understand why they had a section describing all the guest actors, writer, and director, they spent a bit too much time on it for my taste. Especially the actors, where they covered each actor’s first role and usually had a bit of a IMDB review. I personally only really care for the stories about the production of each episode, and also their general reception/opinion of each episode is fun since they’re deeply a part of the trek world.
For me, a briefer version would have been a home run. As is, it’s worth a listen, but you should feel free to skip around.

That was a great episode actually, my only complaint was that he didn’t seem to require serious therapy afterwards.
Same with O’Brien’s mental imprisonment episode, though at least they tried to show the psychological damage there. He just managed to get over it at the end of the episode 🫠
- Comment on DS9 S2 "Second Sight" 10 months ago:
Yeah, that’s probably the best explanation. Or maybe she just knows her deep seated desires, and uses them to imagine how Fenna would be?
- Comment on DS9 S2 "Second Sight" 10 months ago:
Yeah…Star Trek has never been particularly good at one-off romance episodes, and this is certainly one of those.
Yeah, I don’t think that I enjoyed any shoehorned romance with Picard especially…
The episode also has Dax asking O’Brien to boost the top speed of Seyetik’s ship to warp 9.5 to avoid a potential supernova, a prominent example of Star Trek supernovae being apparently able to travel faster than light. So there’s that.
Lol now that you mention it, yes that is quite silly.
I also remember a moment where O’Brien reports that he increased the speed to warp 9.6, and Dax asks “wasn’t the theoretical maximum warp 9.5” and he’s just like “it was.” Top tier O’Brien right there.
- Comment on Enterprise era new trek show? 10 months ago:
For what it’s worth, ENT is set around 2150, SNW around 2259, TNG starts around 2364, and PIC around 2399. In my mind, ENT is pretty far removed from the SNW/TOS era that you’d say is well covered. There’s a lot of “untouched” canon to discuss, like the Earth Romulan war. So long as temporal wars are forgotten, I’d be excited to see more ENT stuff.
But I also agree that just going forward into the 25th century would be nice too. Ideally for me I’d prefer to see a clean break from the TNG/PIC nostalgia characters: just the next, next generation, with a new captain and crew.
I do like Jeri Ryan’s Seven a lot, and would love a Captain Seven, but there’s something to be said for just starting the new thing and building the next big dynasty of trek, rather than borrowing characters.
- Comment on DS9 S2 "Second Sight" 10 months ago:
For your first part, that would make sense, except Nidell isn’t supposed to remember anything about Fenna. I don’t know how Sisko would expect her to think of Fenna as something she’d want to become, since she knew nothing about her. That was what made the line weird to me.
For your second part - agree on both actually! I haven’t seen any particular DS9 specific community in here or elsewhere. Maybe we can be the change we want to see, lol. Maybe a new community or a weekly episode discussion or something.

I mean with that attitude, we should only have shows set in the 32nd century! After all, time has moved forward, right? ;)
In all seriousness, that argument may have made sense when Enterprise came out, but now there’s four seasons of characters, setting, and story, which could be expanded on as a sequel. “Prequel” depends on your frame of reference.
- Comment on The cancelation of Star Trek: Prodigy has halted any immediate plans for a sequel to Star Trek: Voyager, disappointing fans of the show. 11 months ago:
If Seven of Nine is the only character from Voyager who is a main character, then it still strikes me as a TNG spin-off, given that the main cast would also include Jack Crusher (Son of Picard) and Sidney LaForge (Daughter of Geordi), and probably some appearances from Beverly Crusher, Diana Troi, Will Riker, etc… As @StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website mentioned, it could turn into the Jack Crusher show, but even without that, Voyager characters would be second class citizens in comparison. I’d love to see Janeway, Paris, Kim, Torres, Tuvok, heck even Neelix (maybe not Chakotay) but they’d be cameos at best. And with 10 episodes a season, we’d be lucky to get more than one or two of those appearances.
