For those who loved Lower Decks, some of you might be interested in something similar. First, some history: by the 1990s, Pocket Books' lines of licensed "numbered" Star Trek tie-ins were wildly successful, so series editor John J. Ordover was willing to experiment with "one-shots," crossover...

Even more belated Merry Christmas to you all, because I didn't see the thread.

Why would there be? Peasants, by their nature, are disposable. Now, slaves are valuable, and America has a thriving prison-industrial system to turn peasants into slave labour.

See, I like Logos Prime as one of the Thirteen because he's at least interesting, with his "mysterious and unknowable motives" (compared to guys like Megatronus or Liege Maximo, whose motives seem all too knowable). Logos Prime, with his visor and mask-like face, feels most like a remote and...

What's interesting with Nemesis is that, despite everything, it actually works surprisingly well with an obscure plot thread from some of the early "Numbered-era" novels. One of the early novels has Spock (around the time of the "Unification" two-parter) noting cultural signifiers and...

There's also some behind-the-scenes stuff, as (IIRC) the director wasn't familiar with the franchise and made a bunch of minor changes that the actors themselves had to gently correct on set (at one point, there's a conference room scene that was planned to include a few never-before-seen...

Nemesis is set after the end of DS9 (which of course ended even before Voyager); there are a few novels showing Worf's brief diplomatic career (established in DS9) before he returns to Starfleet. Mainly that the leader of the Remans was visibly human rather than Reman or even Romulan. It's also...

Stronger Harder Longer Confident. . . er

Which was a criticism at the time, but has become praise as we get further and further from having TNG on TV.

We could use a new Scrounge, actually.

My take is that there is no connection between the Thirteen Primes and the Matrix-bearing Primes. Like, the Thirteen died/vanished/faded into legend, then time passed, then Nova Prime claimed (or was granted/appointed) the title and passed it on to his successors, along with the Matrix that...

I like that Silverbolt is the only one standing on anything. (Because he's afraid of heights.)

Comic book. Dark Empire (followed by Dark Empire II and Empire's End). Notable for being the series that also introduced the idea of holocrons.

Yeah, I'd argue that the Queen was used well in First Contact ("You imply a disparity where there is none. I am the Collective"), it's only in Voyager that the writers completely lose the metaphor and make her an actual queen. Here's a blog post I wrote years ago on the subject: The Borg as...

I was born in '79, and my oldest reliable memories are from circa 1985, so I was a fan for literally as long as I can remember. I remember having to set the VCR to record episodes because of church functions that my parents dragged me to.

More to the point, Musk is a douchebag who, like all the MAGA crowd, is obsessed with looking cool and gathering power. A toy company is not "cool" to him, and can't be used to further his political agenda. If anything he'd pull a Bain Capital and just burn the company to the ground to cover...

It's from T'ana. ****-o's lucky with what he got.

And there are a few non-canon novels following the Enterprise during the war. Notably, they were with the fleet that liberated Betazed.
