Just watched this. Highly recommend it. While it is about the making of a fan film, at large it more about George Takei’s contribution to Asian American representation and the representation of diversity as a whole. If I needed something to help explain why Star Trek has made such an impact on me, I would point people to this documentary.

First time I complaing about graphics, but they also use like 6GB VRAM for game which looks from PS3 or Xbox 360. The characters looks like toys, why it looks ugly?

Plus, lacks of voice acting.

I had some time to fill yesterday, so I decided to check out The Star Trek Academy. It's a Trek podcast co-hosted by an ethics professor and a college professor. They cover Trek, both old and new, doing quick recaps, and then digging in to both what they thought of the episode's execution and its themes and messages.s execution and its themes and messages.

It's arguably a little dry, but engaging, and the episodes clock in at anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes.

AAnd hey, they can be found on Mastodon - always nice to see!

If you're looking for a slightly more academic take on Star Trek, they're worth a listen. They can be found on any podcast app - the Spotify link is just the one that they seem to promote.

Not that I ever disliked her or anything like that; I just always heard some people being strong fans but I'd never watched Voyager, yet, and generally tried not to look too closely, for fear of spoilers. Funnily enough, I watched the first few episodes of Prodigy before I'd ever watched any Voyager.

But man; instantly liked her, right out the gate. Immediately engrossed by her character and her performance.

I…don't know that there's much of any real point to this post. I don't know a lot of people who watch Trek and wanted to share, I guess.

Probably the most appealing recipe I’ve come across. However, the person speaking in the video is a slight bother with their pronunciation.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen this movie. Someone just told me that it heavily parallels the episode “Shore Leave”. Can someone tell me if there is any merit here or if this is simply crazy? Please.

God damn this is awesome. Hero Within unfortunately has shutdown production due to the licensing for Star Trek. This was part of the last batch they made in January. The inner lining has a diagram of the NX-01 hull, the bridge and situation room.

Hero Within has sold out of most of their items. The NX-01 isn’t even listed on the website anymore, so I can’t even link to the product page.

Bonus selfie of me wearing it.

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown is out today, and might grab you if you love the license and can forgive some overfamiliar survival RPG systems.

I think Star Trek Scouts is getting better. I'm glad to see the story lines are making the kids think about how to solve the problem now. They are also explicitly on the holodeck now, which I think confirms that Asteroid Blasters is a hologame for kids.

Whenever we see Kanar portrayed in the show it's always a thick viscous liquid for something most humans would consider a drink. But it occurred to me that the vast majority of the times we see it, it's not in the normal Cardassian environment. Cardassians like it much warmer than Humans and Bajorans. Would Kanar be less viscous on Cardasia than we see it on DS9? Even most instances when we see it on Cardassia, the founder is very sick and demanding the temperature be turned down in the facility.
