There’s currently an Redexit of Canadians who are looking to get off US-controlled social media.

Lemmy.ca has had a huge spike in enrolment as it’s the one that was most prominently promoted in r/BuyCanadian. Apparently, it’s had over 9k signups in the past day.

She was on the D at one point, it was name dropped.

And on DS9 when some of the Dominion War stuff went down.

So basically Beckett Mariner’s story.

Thanks for bringing this here VS.

Saw Tatosky’s thread on Mastodon. It really gives a much better sense of how ‘real’ the preproduction was under Fuller.

Lots of expenditure clearly but badly managed.

Tamara Deverell talked about having little to spend when she took over after the pilot because the initial sets were built on the designs Fuller signed off on.

No engineering but a bay to hand load missiles! Which she repurposed to Stamets’ spore lab.

My thoughts exactly.

It would be great if they could bring Kim & Lippoldt back as showrunners/EPs and get someone else to direct it.

Nice to see Loops getting traction.

Shockingly, they were bred to be easier to handle and fit a can shape.

Imagine what the original varieties looked like.

He didn’t necessarily know that Pike would be an option. He likely didn’t know that Lorca would be an MU character.

Isn’t that what the sitcom Tawny Newsome is developing will be?

We like brown rice baked in an ovenproof dish with a cover.

In a typical 1200 w toaster oven toaster oven, that would be 1200 w. We have a rice cooker but tend to only use it for large amounts.

She brought such positive energy to fans during her time on Discover.

Her Twitter was full of enthusiasm. CBS was so much less limiting of the actors’ social media engagement. Paramount really hasn’t done well by limiting engagement to the EPs.

It’s unfortunate there hasn’t been opportunity for her appear in Strange New Worlds.

It won the only series Emmy ever for the franchise.

It sounds like he was in premed when he met his wife, but then went on a different track while she became a physician.

I have been working up to making one of the Pokemon in this book.

Thanks for sharing - I am all the more motivated now!

Controlled technology and not easily built from scratch even by Starfleet engineers.

The Relaunch novelverse expanded the concept and importance of industrial replicators. When Voyager returned to the Delta Quadrant, she led an small ‘Full Circle’ fleet that included a large engineering ship that did have industrial replicators large enough to reconstruct ships when severely damaged.

Lowere Decks and Prodigy have brought industrial replicators into onscreen canon.

Prodigy gave the Protostar prototype ship an industrial replicator large enough to construct shuttles. Lower Decks has shown the Cerritos and other ships tasked with delivering and bringing online very large industrial replicators on planets seeking Federation support.

It feels like the chose them to fill in the gaps in the collections of fans across every show and the movies - but also to profile legacy characters featured in new productions.

Rachel Garrett is surely there because of S31 and Jellico is more popular than ever after Prodigy.

Most structural starship components would require large industrial replicators.

These seem to always be centrally located and powered.

What someone can do with a small home model would be quite different.

TNG movies are tricky in that they do embed a few spoilers.

If your wife doesn’t get into DS9, I’d consider hopping over to Voyager. It’s uneven throughout its run, but has many ‘best of trope’ episodes, and has proved to be the most successful entry series to the franchise of all of them.

Here’s another take.

We know that everything was reshaped to flatter and entice Patrick Stewart to come back and play Picard.

He kept refusing and keep on insisting on Picard’s life should be a reflection of his own.

But the suits at ViacomCBS (and later Paramount) put priority on greenlighting anything they could get with Picard as a character.

So, whatever initial concepts with and without Picard were all sacrificed in the end in order to indulge Stewart enough to play the role.

It’s absurd. Our kids ended up playing Star Trek with Playmobil’s space and ‘Future Planet’ planetary exploration lines. (I doubt these even still exist.)

When the Star Trek line finally arrived it was only TOS.
