I really enjoyed this game, and keep thinking I should do a second "all bad choices" playthrough. Sad to hear it's getting pulled from digital storefronts, and people aren't going to have access to it going forward.

So I have been seeing tos reruns and im just boggled by the skirts. Its like anime fan service as you get glimpses of starfleet standard issue panties. Im sitting here thinking. How did I not notice how short they were as a young boy growing up. Like I knew you saw a lot of leg and they were short but feels like wow seeing it now. My best guess is given broadcast resolution back in the day and having a tv under 20 inches and the fuzzyness of analogue rabit ears. Maybe it was not so noticable. Now im seeing it though on HD broadcast to a 90 inch screen and its like. yowzaa!! Seriously its like a live action anime.

Hey yall! I'm stoned af and watching star trek on a weekend, naturally. I lost my place since last weekend in TNG season 3, but I knew that I wasn't far in so I just watched all the intros until I found where I left off. Episode 8 "the price", Troi gets frustrated with the replicator for wanting a "real" chocolate sundae. This raised a question for me, wouldn't food replicators be intelligent enough to simulate the process of "the standard" ingredients being processed into the recipe? Like I thought that was the point of being able to say "Earl grey tea, hot". Like wouldn't she just have to say "betazoid chocolate sundae" or whatever?

EDIT: SECOND QUESTION: Say you have a family recipe cookbook or whatever and the comfort food is in that cookbook, couldn't you just say "simulate the process of making the recipe from this cookbook"?

FWIW if anyone was still wondering if they'd do anything to fix the reported cliffhanger SFA is going to end on, or if there was a chance in hell that Year One would be a thing.

Although Star Trek‘s utopia might seem like a place where galactic powers would be beyond counterintelligence, the franchise has always loved spies. From loving pastiches to their role as a place to navigate shades of gray otherwise untouchable, spy work has long been a backbone of Star Trek storytelling—which means almost every galactic power has at least one spy agency.

In fact, a lot of them have two! Star Trek loves to split the difference between what it sees as honorable spycraft: counterintelligence agencies performing recon work to safeguard their powers’ interests and a second, even more secretive black-ops division that does all the dirty work in a way that can be sequestered and disavowed… depending on the power, of course. Sometimes the dirty work is all they have!

From Section 31 to the Obsidian Order, here’s a brief rundown of the agencies we’ve encountered across 60 years of Trek history so far.

After watching many episodes of many Star Trek series I was considering to make my own fanfic like I did with Half-Life Ampere.

I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure, it is normal to want to make up my own story set in Star Trek universe?

Also, I personally have troubles to try to be the most lore friendly possible and that make me angry while I'm typing down eveything.

I'm a doll hobbyist, and while I was looking for doll parts on AliExpress, I stumbled upon this head. I showed it to my wife, and she quickly recognized the Barbie Mermaid sculpt. This is how I discovered that this head is from the Barbie Star Trek 50th Anniversary doll. Originally, she looks like this:

I think they somehow managed to get unused heads from the factory, because I saw several listings of this head, and some of them even had (badly) handmade hair.

So I decided to buy one. Among doll hobbyists, it's common to buy blank heads to paint them and add hair (the process is called "rooting"). Except in this case, the head is already painted, I just need to root it. I won't be able to replicate the original hairstyle, but it should be fun 🙂

I also found this author on Flickr who purchased and rooted several heads (you can scroll two pages). Originally, I was planning to use black hair, but from the pictures above, white also looks kinda nice 🤔

I also think a dark red color will look great, similar to Poison Ivy from DC. I also considered a dark green head, but couldn't find saran in this color (it's the best material for doll heads). What color would you use?

The Artemis NASA

mission has a mascot named Rise — a stuffy that acts as a zero-G indicator.

At a certain angle, it’s face looks a lot like a favourite bone-drinking horror called Moopsy.

Also a shot of tequila.

I really like this episode, not only because it continue the story of M'benga, but also because it has this tradition complexity about Kilingon, and lot of action and drama in every character.

Go time travel, build a warp ship, resist The Borg, and get drunk on tequila when a famous Human hits on you!

The first change.org petition to Renew “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” for a third season hit 30,000 signatures today, and is over 31,000 at the time of this post.

The one at the post link is the one launched from the UK with the regrettable, unofficial (likely AI) image. But it was up first and has been getting momentum.

There’s another one Renew Star Trek Starfleet Academy for a full season three, with the official key art poster that is about to break 5,000 signatures.

Between these two, Starfleet Academy now has more signatures than did Prodigy when Netflix picked up its second season.

Clearly this is causing consternation among some of those who have opposed the show from the outset. There are now opposing petitions Urge Paramount to shelve Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season two; Keep the Academy series permanently cancelled; and similar. None of these has significant traction.

I get why they couldn't have Odo transforming into a bear all the time, but this would mainly just be another actor, and I'd say his potential feels a bit wasted.

Also to the Krall of Unreal Tournament 3. What you think?
