    In Memoriam: Mr. Laser Beam

    Just saw this. Man, I remember him from back in the day. Prolific poster. Sad to hear of his passing. Strange, isn't it, people we never met these days can affect us just like the people we know in the real world. I guess his friends and family have been dealing with the grief for a while...

    DS9/First Contact Uniforms

    Yes indeed, there were several Admiral variants including the ones worn by Admiral Hayes, Admiral Nechayev and Admiral Dougherty in DS9 and the TNG films. There have been so many Admiral variants of uniforms over the course of the various series that I think the only reasonable in-universe...

    DS9/First Contact Uniforms

    Simple answer, no, There were some minor differences in other eras, but not in the 2370s. The few enlisted personnel that were specifically identified on DS9 and Voyager wore the exact same as their officer counterparts, just without insignia or with various non-pip insignia for Chief Petty...

    If you Had to make your own crew with the first 4 series Star Trek Characters, what would they be?

    Captain: Picard - moral clarity, diplomacy, principles First Officer: Kira - a counterbalance, pragmatic, argumentative, will challenge Picard Second Officer & Science: Spock (is that cheating?) - intelligence, analytical mind, good match for Picard's stoicism Ops: Data - imagine him working...

    Lanthanites. Canon, speculation, questions, wishful thinking.

    Aside from the Klingon second generation hybrids, we saw at least three Human/Betazoid second generation Hybrids, Kestra Troi-Riker, Walter Pierce and Devinoni Ral, all of whom were ¾ Human, ¼ Betazoid. In an unrealised future we also saw Andrew Kim (¾ Human, ¼ Ocampa).

    The TrekMovie review is up They are usually rabidly pro-nuTrek, probably to maintain access. But honestly, it seems even they are struggling to put a positive spin on this show. Some quotes: Urgh Argh Ick Oof Right

    Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

    His Star Wars prequel and Star Trek reviews are pretty legendary though. And the channel has put out a lot of fun Star Trek material over the years like their Star Trek trivia game show.

    "I would eat my own face than watch Starfleet Academy. Like take a razor blade and cut pieces of my face off." - Mike Stoklasa (aka Mr Plinkett)

    Could Data be a starship CMO?

    The Lucasian Chair is not a teaching position, it's a research position. Some of the holders of the chair have given lectures from time to time, but they're not expected to deliver a full teaching programme as part of their responsibilities. For example, Stephen Hawking did occasionally give...

    Could Data be a starship CMO?

    I think Data definitely has the processing power to run the EMH's software, the question for me would be if he has the storage capacity for the database. Now, the EMH backup module is definitely small enough to fit within Data's head, so we'd need to work out if there have been significant...

    Have you ever given up on a Trek series? If so, what was the last straw for you?

    I have not watched Discovery Season 4 or 5 and have no plans to. I also do not intend to watch Academy. I gave up on Section 31 after watching the opening 11 minutes.

    Starfleet Academy Official Trailer

    Well, it doesn't look good. That's all I'm saying. Still, if it's as bad as it seems it might finally send Kurtzman packing, we can close out SNW and make some new Treks in a couple years once the dust settles. And make them good.

    Spoilers Foundation Adaptation Series on AppleTV+ (Discussion and Spoilers)

    I also think Dusk and Day being increasingly unhinged is a symptom of both the genetic drift and also their 'mother', Demerzel, being increasingly uncertain herself and this perhaps bleeding through into their upbringings

    Bad Starship Names

    U.S.S. What Ensign: Welcome aboard Sir, WHAT is the name of this ship. Admiral: I don't know Ensign, WHAT is the name of the ship? Ensign: Sir, that's what I said, WHAT is the name of the ship, Sir! Admiral: DON'T ASK ME, I'M ASKING YOU, WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SHIP? Ensign: SIR, I KEEP SAYING...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x10 - "New Life and New Civilizations"

    Also, nitpick, but did they say that two starships could output the same amount of power as a Sol-type star? That is pretty ridiculous. Exactly where is that power coming from? Our Sun converts over 4 million tonnes of matter to energy every second. Pretty sure neither Enterprise nor Farragut...
