- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 18 hours ago:
TNG character headcanon?
Worf is a narcissist. Reason: Kurn and Alexander were kept until no longer useful to him then discarded. #Justice4Kurn
Universe headcanon?
The Vulcans are augments and the romulans are the baseline diaspora. Reason: every time TPol was unphased by the anomaly because of her [superior] Vulcan physiology.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 3 days ago:
the best series finales are always double-episodes
I think you’re right:
TNG: 2-parter, check
DS9: 2-parter, check
VOY: 2-parter, check
ENT: 1-shot, check
DISCO: 1-shot, check

Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.
Me: Aurelians have…feathers?
Some searching later…
Me: Oh Aurelian not El-Aurian

We could do this all day, I just reached for this example because of my recent run Gowron of episodes 🖖

- Comment on Is there a way to watch DS9 whole skipping the prophet & pah wraith plotline 1 month ago:
If you do that you miss much of the best Trek villains:
Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat
They are part of reason folks are advising you to hang in there.
But ultimately just enjoy it and skip any episode that is boring you; if you make it halfway you’ll probably want to watch the few relevant ones you skipped.
p.s. Buckle up 🖖
- Comment on Which shows are worth watching? 1 month ago:
Enterprise all the way.
It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.
Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.
Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.
Highlights include:
- Captain Archer feuding with Duras
- Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
- Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
- Grapplers!
Low points include:
- Decontamination
- Archer/Tpol tension
- Cogenitor episode
- The finale

It’s a matter of opinion of course, but to me Picard 1/2 suffers the same malady as S31: “all we need is a big star to sell our franchise”
Season 3 felt to me like the owners of the franchise desperately trying to salvage the final season from Patrick Stewart’s meddling.
As for Kirk’s stories you’re right he’s done if not already overdone, at least as a main character. Who knows how he may work as a supporting character 🤷♀️
- Comment on William Shatner Confirms Talks for Star Trek Return at 93 Years Old 1 month ago:
If Kirk is going to come back, it has to mean something. It has to be the show. But I was so impressed by this writer, so I said let’s talk after I’m done in Vancouver.
He had me in the first half, but thankfully this doesn’t sound like another vanity project ala Picard S1/S2 🤞

I have no idea, but I hope so haha
- Comment on Just Finished Lower Decks 2 months ago:
Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.
The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.
My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I’ve seen ENT…I don’t want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!
5 seasons and a movie, make it so!
- Comment on I'm finally going to the 🪩DISCO🪩 2 months ago:
I am now more impressed at what Lower Decks did with fewer, shorter episodes a season than Discovery.
Well said, I can’t help but agree.
I’m part of the sad cohort that liked S1 the most, so I envy those for whom the show got better. Yall got a much better ride.
- Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 Wraps Filming 2 months ago:
…all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.
Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.
Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last 🙏

- Comment on "Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience? 2 months ago:
Give them Andor instead of Ahsoka; they need to make more content that speaks to the universal human condition and less about the cool worlds and characters they’ve got. The people want Squid Game and Severance, not another cinematic universe.

- Comment on 9 Years Later, 'Star Trek: Discovery's Co-Creator Just Revealed a Wild Alternate Cast 2 months ago:
“On my last week [working on Discovery], I approved the Starfleet uniforms, which they tossed out, and rejected the Klingons, which they kept.” Notably, both the Discovery uniforms and the Klingons from that era proved to be controversial with fans
That’s the big what-if for me out of this article: what if disco had klingons that didn’t become radioactive to so much of the audience?
The whole klingon war felt like it happened in a single episode or two and I wonder how much of that was them concluding they made an ugly-sonic and tossing it.
Maybe we would have seen more Ash Tyler and less Book, who knows 🤷♀️
