Another one expecting a movie announcement. Congrats, Rhinox.

Back in November.

Andorians also marry in groups of four (established in canon), which the novels have expanded to suggest that they actually have four sexes (zhen and shen look feminine, and chan and thaan look masculine). A lot of species in Star Trek have "abilities" that are more based on their cultural...

Big deal, so's everything. Streaming is the death of long-form entertainment.

The Peacock series is way better than it has any right to be; it succeeds in both celebrating and deconstructing the original, by accepting that a lot of the stuff we laughed at in the 80s just isn't funny. It has the confidence to take what the original show held up as the ideal teen trickster...

Yikes. Glad you're okay.

Yeah, Section 31 as it appeared in Berman-era Trek is tolerable; a secretive conspiracy that may or may not be anything more than a handful of rogue operatives (nothing any S31 agent says about how well-staffed and equipped they are can be trusted --until Enterprise included them, people were...

Not a Transformer, but I still have this little guy.

I'd argue that Grimlock's always had a better design than Optimus; other than a few new joints and panel hinges, the MP is basically the same design as his G1 toy and animation model (compared to Optimus, whose G1 toy had to be redesigned so much for animation that it took most of a decade to...

And Optimus isn't the only one:

In light of the other two strikes going on right now, Disney has the opportunity to do the right thing, if we force them. https://iatse.net/online-action/disney-production/

Or did get released but then got effectively erased from existence. A lot of news is inexplicably still on Twitter (which I can't see unless others post it), but here's just one article about the potentially lethal measures the studios are taking.

Something I noticed in the novels; there've been at least two small (one-person) civilian ships with highly Turing-capable computers (one of them was explicitly self-aware and independent-minded, the other may just have been a thoroughly-programmed interface). It could be just a random...

Also note that starships have to carry at least three times their necessary crew (because someone has to man the ship while the command crew is asleep). (Not Star Trek, but in the old Star Wars RPG there were rules for running a ship on a skeleton crew; they involved everything on the ship...

DS9 is late 24th century (running from 2369 to 2375). As you note, it overlaps with TNG (in the beginning) and Voyager (at the end). Picard is set 24 years later in 2399 (to 2401). Pike's era is ancient history; Strange New Worlds takes place in 2259, though whether the modern "Secret Hideout"...

Also miniature mobile emitters are beyond the Federation's current capability; the Doctor got his from the 29th century. (This also suggests that the mobile emitter Raffi and Worf used in Picard was indeed the Doctor's, which has troubling implications.) There are plots in a couple of the...

Twitter is apparently reporting that Flash has ended up with a lower box office total than Green Lantern. :ROFLMAO:

One idea I heard many years ago in a book is that replicators have issues with replicating energy (as opposed to matter). They can handle "hot" (lots of molecular movement) or "cold" (little molecular movement), but that's about it. This is why you can't normally replicate things like...
