In my defense, I was gifting slipper socks.

A lot of vessels are named after real people.

That’s named after the Lakota war leader of the Oglala from the 19th century.

the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.

No it doesn’t. Please don’t put words into our mouth bro. He can’t even wait till January 20 to fuck things up.

That says Enterprise A, not Enterprise, A.

That is the whole point:

You mean a sex surrogate?

EDIT: I can’t seem to find it. I learned about sex surrogacy from an episode of Love and Radio (I can’t remember if it is stylized). The whole episode was an interview with a woman who worked professionally as a surrogate. They dealt with sex therapy as well as helping persons who might have physical disabilities that prevented them from experiencing sex.

Imagine if someone picked Joy Division.

And stop claiming the South China Sea as their own. Didn’t international courts rule it belonged to Philippines?

The way The Doctor is able to change appearance so quickly, jump through glass panes and that hallway wall running, scream Matrix to me.

Biggest take away: Wang was cast in Picard season 3, promoted to admiral, and over time cut out before production.

Spoilers for “Subspace Rhapsody” (Strange New Worlds season 2 episode 9)

This question is 100% hypothetical. Would the episode have the same plot if Spock at completed kolinahr at this point in his life?

I wonder why. 😉 (startrek.website)

Hi there. I just wanted to discuss something positive and uplifting. As we surely all know, Star Trek has a very big fandom that is super inclusive and positive (for the most part). Had a thought that for many fans, their passion is life-long. Maybe it would be nice to share a positive memory (maybe a few) you associate with Trek; whatever you are comfortable sharing. I kick it off (my list is chronological).

  1. Getting to go on The Klingon Encounter at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a family trip, I was seven (I recently found out I was off by year) in 1998. My grandfather was working at the time for a Chinese apparel brand. He took us to an industry convention he was attending for work. So my mom took me to the Hilton. There was walls of Borg statues, actors dressed as Klingons walking the casino. Only got to go on The Klingon Encounter, a Star Tours style ride. The premise is an entertainment experience with live actors which you are mysteriously transported to the future where you switch places with Picard. Klingons are behind it. They believe your group has an ancestor among you. You head to a transporter to escape to a shuttlecraft, and flee the Klingons. The chase eventually leads you over The Las Vegas Strip. The ride also included pre-recorded video from TNG cast as part of the story.

  2. Watching ENT when it first broadcast. I was ten years old. As an aside, I’ve always lived with my maternal grandparents. Anyways, my grandfather was excited for it. He let me stay up late on Wednesdays to watch with him. It was the first series (pretty much the only from start to end) I watched first broadcast. Watched every episode with him.

  3. Finally going to my first convention, STLV (formerly Star Trek Las Vegas) this year. Such an incredible four days that I can never forget. Getting to see the community up close changes how important this means. Everyone was such wonderful people. The one public event I’ve attended in my life where I felt truly accepted and safe.

Did writers forget about “Barge of the Dead” in season 7? During “Imperfection”, Seven ask B’Elanna if she believes in afterlife. Her response is ‘I hope so.

She literally went to hell and back. How does that not make her believe in it?
