Not to be that guy (I am 100% that guy), but that’s an Orion.

Ah, that was my second guess.

Did you mean “Yesteryear” for TAS? “Spock Amok” is an SNW episode.

I'm not sure I believe that Vulcans would be frying a lot of their foods, but those fritters do sound pretty good. Maybe without dumping enough paprika onto the hummus to make the logo, though.

Speaking of fried foods, that Orion funnel cake looks like an atrocity.

Somebody warp me!

This is violence.

My group switched to 2e pretty quickly after it became available. There are some significant differences, but for the most part it’s a streamlined version of 1e.

Most of what’s available in the new Tech Guide would is simply information about the various technologies players would have access to. There’s only a few stat blocks.

It really does come across as a Suicide Squad riff. Which I guess is kinda what Cantwell's Defiant book has been, except he's not able to kill any of the characters, because as opposed to DC's third string jobbers like Heatmonger and Reactron, Defiant features Worf, and Spock, and B'Elanna Torres.

Neat!

The book that appeals to me most is Red Shirts, if only because I've really enjoyed Cantwell's writing on the Defiant book. The premise sounds like it could be a bit of a slog, but hopefully it's not just about seeing these characters eat it.

I guess Voyager - Homecoming is geared towards all the fans who found "Endgame" to be an unsatisfactory ending to VOY. The Bridges' work I'm mostly familiar with from their contributions to Star Trek Adventures.

Honestly find it a bit difficult to muster up any enthusiasm for an SNW comic. I'm not at all familiar with Thompson's work -- looks like he's done a lot of young reader books and Star Wars stuff for Marvel -- but I'm immediately put off by the adorable robot sidekick idea. I'll still give the book a chance, but I'm not going to go in with high expectations.

I assumed that as part of their Academy duties they'd need to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge.

I'm a bit more surprised than I should be. Obviously the story in these ongoings was going to have to come to an end at some point as the timeline progressed towards "Star Trek Nemesis" but it still feels like there's a lot left to explore. Still, it will be interesting to see how the books wrap everything up. And what Trek comics come next.

Just so long as we both agree Janeway murdered Tuvix and should stand trial for her actions, I don't see why that should matter.

That headline might as well read, “Suprise: That Khan podcast thing was actually in production.”

I would appreciate an explanation as to what solarpunk is.

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.

I'm going to have difficulty choosing between the NX-01 decon chamber, and the Fairhaven holodeck simulation.

I wonder how much of a gateway Lego might be for young potential fans. What eight year old looking through sets of superheroes and video game characters, isn't going to immediately gravitate to the Enterprise D conference room?

Child: "That's where Data and Geordi explain things to Captain Picard!"
Me, wiping a tear from my eye: "Yes it is."

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