- Comment on Star Trek: Section 31 to Premiere January 24 4 weeks ago:
She played Georgiou across three seasons of Star Trek; what would be her motivation to stop in 2023?
- Comment on Canon Connections: PRO 2x09 - The Devourer of All Things, Part I 1 month ago:
Wesley transports the Protogies to what appears to be Gary 7’s office as it was seen in “Assignment: Earth”.
I need to watch this episode sometime.
- Comment on Canon Connections: PRO 2x05 - Observer's Paradox 1 month ago:
I’m always glad to see Canon Connections. Thanks for all your efforts!
- Comment on Worst examples of Treknobabble 2 months ago:
The topic was asking for examples; got any?
- Comment on Who had it worse: Enterprise-D or Voyager? 2 months ago:
If you’re a crew member on the Enterprise D, you have died. Probably more than once. Between Timescape, Cause and Effect, Yesterday’s Enterprise, and All Good Things, the ENT-D has been blown to smithereens with all crew on board multiple times.
Voyager did this too, but far fewer times that I recall.
- Comment on Starfleet Academy Showrunners Explain Inspiration for Bringing Voyager's EMH Back to Star Trek 3 months ago:
It’s actually much more similar to how they kept using Majel Barrett as the voice of the computer across multiple series.
And it makes sense in-universe for The Doctor to be 800 years old and still working; it’s not like they’re contriving a way for Harry Kim or Phlox to be there, much as we may want to see them again.

- Comment on Canon Connections: DIS 5x05 - Mirrors 6 months ago:
I’ve had the impression that in the Mirror Universe, it was only the humans/terrans which behaved differently. Everyone else we see seems like their usual selves (accounting for different circumstances of course).
The DS9 episodes throw a wrench in this of course, with Kira being a very different person and the oppressed terrans being sympathetic.
- Comment on Canon Connections: DIS 5x05 - Mirrors 6 months ago:
In regard to the Breen, I would note that Star Trek Adventures: Klingon Core Rulebook says “They only present themselves to non-Breen in full-body suits that hide their identities, and their bodies disintegrate when they die while wearing those suits. While this is an admirable trait – it means Breen cannot be taken prisoner, an attitude in line with the teachings of Kahless – it has made it impossible to determine the true face of the Breen.” This is a pretty cool explanation for how Worf could be right even after Kira and Dukat stole their suits.
I know STA isn’t canon but I still like this reasoning.

This is the second Star Trek season premiere that features the destruction of a Soong-type Android, after Picard S1E1 “Rememberance” introduced and murdered Dahj.
- Comment on What games do you replay regularly/annually ? 8 months ago:
Symphony of the Night
Also, if you enjoy Doom 1 and 2, I highly recommend seeking out Heretic and Strife. Heretic has amazing level design using the Doom engine to create places that feel like towns and medieval churches and stuff. And Strife somehow managed to make Doom into an interconnected world with a decent story.
I’m not big on Hexen - the respawning enemies and the lack of weapons (there’s only 4, technically 12 but you only have access to 4) bugged me.
- Comment on Short games with lots of replay value? 8 months ago:
Spelunky is a wonderful roguelike platformer which avoids a lot of escalation problems that “action roguelites” tend to suffer from
Besides that, I’m partial to the Megaman X series (and the sequel series Megaman Zero and ZX). X4 in particular is always fun to put in and replay.
- Comment on Interview: Jeri Ryan On Taking Seven From Borg To Bi Captain Of The Enterprise To ‘Star Trek: Legacy’ 8 months ago:
The deaths of

Hugh and Icheb
were particularly upsetting for me, personally (especially the graphic nature of the latter). PIC S1 had way too much “let’s kill people for no good reason” events.
I’d be perfectly happy if the dead PIC characters just showed up alive and well in a later show, no reason given. (They already did this with Q, right?)
- Comment on Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters (open source Star Control 2) now available on Steam 8 months ago:
Nice! I never played SC2 but I have a friend who raves about how good it is.
- Comment on Interview: Jeri Ryan On Taking Seven From Borg To Bi Captain Of The Enterprise To ‘Star Trek: Legacy’ 8 months ago:
I don’t think the actor was bad. Having him be a doctor on Legacy (he is a doctor, right?) would be a good use of the actor and the character’s past without having it be the focus of the show.
- Comment on 9 months ago:
I watched all 3 seasons. Season 3 should be recognized for its special effects and acting - the new characters and classic ones both perform well. Too bad it was in service to such an unneeded story.
- Comment on 9 months ago:
SNW is in the upper tier of Star Trek shows.
- Comment on Janeway’s “Tuvix” Decision Divides ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ Cast: “It Kind Of Hurt Her Character” 9 months ago:
Best solution: 1: Sedate Tuvix. He must not be conscious for the next steps. 2: Make a transporter clone of him (like Riker/Boimler) 3: Separate one of the Tuvixes into Tuvok/Neelix, leave the other as Tuvix
Everyone wins!

“Decades before” Star Trek 2009 would be in the post-Enterprise, pre-TOS/Kelvin era. We know the first Romulan war happened somewhere in there; anything else?
- Comment on TrekMovie.com: Patrick Stewart Reveals New Star Trek Movie Script Featuring Jean-Luc Picard Is In The Works 10 months ago:
We basically need more Jeri Ryan, in any context. And “Crash” LaForge should be there, she was fun too. Just definitely don’t use the same writers from PIC.
- Comment on TrekMovie.com: Patrick Stewart Reveals New Star Trek Movie Script Featuring Jean-Luc Picard Is In The Works 10 months ago:
I have two reasons to not write this off:
- Picard S2 would have been just fine as a 2-or-3-part episode, and not a 10-episode full season.
- The first 4 episodes of Picard S3, watched together by themselves, become the second-best TNG movie (after First Contact of course).
If they were announcing Picard season 4 I’d just groan and ignore it. But I think the cast and crew could actually pull off a decent 1.5-2 hours of good entertainment.
- Comment on Just some fun size comparisons 1 year ago:
I have an inexplicable fondness for the Excelsior class. Both NX-2000 and NCC-1701-B are fun to watch. I would’ve liked to see more of them.
(I know there’s a bunch in the Dominion War battle scenes, but never for very long.)

“Spock once again was able to drink the Klingons into not wanting destroy the Enterprise”
This might also explain how Spock convinced General Koord to aid the Enterprise in STV. Koord was definitely a drinker, too!
