With the NBA preseason tipping off tonight, I thought I’d get our thread for 2018-19 started. Have at it, everyone!

Is Spock’s promotion to captain depicted in any of the novels (e.g., the New Earth series)? I recently rewatched the farewell scene between Picard and Riker and wondered what Kirk and Spock might have said to each other when the latter was finally promoted.

Please join me in wishing Jayne Brook (Admiral Cornwell) a happy birthday today!

“He knows, Doctor. He knows.”

I thought about this while re-watching “Balance of Terror.” Had V’Ger passed more closely to Romulan space, how would the Romulans have reacted? Would they have opted for a frontal assault, as the Klingons did, or would they have used more caution, as did Kirk and company? My impression is...

I am, of course, referring to the woman who stands at attention as Mendez and the Enterprise landing party pass in front of her desk in “The Menagerie.” She’s not listed in the credits for the episode, and Memory Alpha has no information about her other than that she (apparently) performs...

Star Trek features several species with long lifespans (Vulcans, Romulans and Klingons, for example), but I’m not sure if the average Bolian lifespan has ever been stated on screen. Does anyone have any information about this? Thanks!

This occurred to me the other day, so I thought I’d ask about it here. Vulcans and Romulans have green blood, but has it ever been specified how poorly oxygenated blood from these species appears or how cyanosis would be recognized in a Vulcanoid species?

Please note that this thread is not intended to be a discussion of specific story ideas but a sharing of ideas about characters who could be featured in a Captain’s Table novel. Here’s my list: Captain Morgan Bateson (USS Bozeman) Commander Donatra (IRW Valdore) Captain Afsarah Eden (USS...

I’m admittedly fascinated by this stunningly beautiful woman (and promising helm officer) and was curious as to why she never appeared again after season two. Anne Ramsay has a very successful run on Mad About You, but I’d have loved seeing more of her in TNG.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but was the officers’ lounge in which Kirk meets with Morrow restricted to command-level officers (i.e., captain and up)? I ask because Sulu and Chekov made a point of waiting outside, as though they weren’t allowed in. OTOH, maybe they just didn’t...

Author's note: For those of you've met Commander Snow before, this a brief teaser from a story I'm currently working on. Others may wish to familiarize themselves with the commander's previous experiences, which may be found here, here and here. ~/~ Despite the calamitous cacophony occurring...

The following is a transcript of Federation News Service correspondent Jake Sisko’s audio-only interview with Lt. Commander Karen Snow, chief science officer of the USS Cerulean. As the Cerulean is currently on assignment outside Federation space, Commander Snow was not available to give this...

Constitution- and Miranda-class vessels appear to equal-sized primary hulls; however, the latter has only a single turbolift leading to its bridge, as seen in TWOK. Is this due to the fact that Miranda-class vessels have no secondary hull and are thus smaller than their counterparts, or is...

Today, we remember Paul Winfield, who would have been 77. --Captain Terrell

The following is a transcript of Federation News Service correspondent Jake Sisko’s audio-only interview with Lt. Commander Karen Snow, chief science officer of the USS Cerulean, who was kind enough to speak with Jake aboard her vessel, which is currently undergoing a minor refit at the...

Had the privilege of listening to David Mack's interview with the folks at Literary Treks about his new book--one of the best interviews I've ever heard. I'd highly recommend it if you haven't already listened to it. Anyway, one of the many topics that came up was David's use of lines from...

Reading the thread in the TNG forum about the series ending with "All Good Things.." as opposed to Nemesis made me wonder about the guest actors who appeared in Star Trek and could have carried a Star Trek series if given the opportunity (playing a role similar to that of Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley...

Having recently re-watched "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy", I find myself wondering if the ECH could be more than just a stop-gap in the event a ship's captain is injured or unavailable. We saw the Doctor function as Voyager's permanent CMO (out of necessity) after the ship's human CMO was killed...

With the season over, I thought it was time to start the official NBA Draft/off-season thread; in other news, the Lakers are trying to pry Cousins from the Kings, and Portland looks like its replacing the current LaMarcus Aldridge with a newer version (if he pans out) in Noah Vonleh. --Sran
