But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

I cannot recommend “Warp Your Own Way” enough to any fans of the series. Calling it a graphic novel fails to account for the fact that it is a choose your own adventure style story which makes perfect sense in the context of the story being told. An absolute master craft of the comics format. Also, it’s funny and the art is good.

Much like Captain Bateson and the USS Bozeman, we’re back, baby!

The PRO canon connections got derailed by LDS and seasonal depression, but seeing that the Greatest Trek podcast was about to overtake how far I got has me in it to win it. My plan is to get it done before SNW drops.

In this case, yes. The character Kirk was fighting in the gif you posted was surgically disguised as an Andorian to disrupt the diplomatic talks regarding the dilithium mining world, Coridan, in the episode “Journey to Babel”.

The Andorian in the screen grab in your second comment is an Andorian.

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.

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.

“People like the 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.

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.

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

In the preview of the ships, it claims they models are based on what was seen in the remaster of “The Tholian Web”, but the models shown look more like a Tholian carrier from STO. I’m assuming that what’s in the preview is just the fleet tokens – for anyone who hasn’t played the game, each faction has three larger fleet tokens which indicate a number of their base ships, usually with some unique ability for each fleet – and their base ships will look like what was seen in the show.

Also, one more faction to go. I’m going to bet Orions, but I’d love it if they did a Terran Empire expansion introducing the mirror universe to the game.

B’Elanna had an experience, that at the time she very strongly believed to be real, but she’s also a person of science. I feel like it would be out of character for her to not have some questions, even after her journey to Gre’thor.

In “Tapestry”, when Q tells him, “I told you. You’re dead. This is the afterlife, and I’m God,” what is Picard’s response? “You are not God.”

B’Elanna’s in a similar situation. She’s informed that she’s on the barge of the dead, but is that necessarily divine? Perhaps Gre’thor is an alternate dimension, or something like inside of the Nexus. Fek’lhr could be a powerful being, not wholly dissimilar from Q. In “Homefront”, Worf claims that Klingons killed their gods for being “more trouble than they were worth,” perhaps that was more than just Klingon myth. We know that aliens visited Earth and were perceived to be deities. The Greek pantheon in “Who Mourns for Adonias”, Kukulkan was believed to be the Quetzalcoatl as per “How Sharper than a Serpent’s Tooth”, and even Satan from Christian mythology was the being Lucien depicted in “The Magicks of Megas-Tu”.

Given everything B’Elanna should be aware of regarding the nature of the galaxy, blind faith in an afterlife, even one she’s ostensibly experienced first hand, does seem like a big ask.
