I think “Lower Decks” killing Sito was the right direction. It was a small part of setting up the Bajoran-Cardassian conflict in DS9 (granted it was in its second season) and redeemed a character that the audience was fully expected to dislike from the event of “The First Duty”. It did so much to turn them around and make us fall in love with them. Sito got to have a second chance and do what they knew was dangerous but ultimately necessary. By the time Fill returned for Lower Decks, the weight of Sito’s death had a more meaningful impact that was unexpected.

I’m waiting for someone to claim it is antisemitic to not go to war on behalf of Israel.

As the video points out, it has been depicted various ways (there are 50 varieties). Some in fact do look like gummy worms.

I enjoyed it. I previously tried making my own with noodles and sauce only. That combination can be unappetizing when you’re going for color over taste. The vegetables and meat give this a texture which is very pleasant.

Damn. That was an unexpected ending. Wonder what Frakes has in store for next week.

EDIT: It was heartwarming to see the R’uustai again.

EDIT 2: I thought I had heard Frakes directed two episodes.

Unrelated but apparently the private plane the government owns for the FBI is required for the director to use by law if they are conducting a business trip.

Otherwise they have to fly commercial.

I thought the band Hopesfall had a terrible name. So I mocked it.

If you’ve been watching all of Trek, you’ll know that the Eugenics Wars no longer have a fixed point in time. WWIII on the other hand hasn’t changed.

Whelp, it looks like Star Trek was on the nose. This is probably the year World War III begins.

So you haven’t seen the ads he does for Raising Cane’s?

If anyone is curious as to why the Protostar crew have only had a single mention, Aaron Waltke has clarified that PRO was being written at the same time as SFA.

Well they couldn’t show anything from “Blink of an Eye”. They never showed his son.

I imagine the stories written for this anthology featured only existing characters. So that would tell me these stories came about before SFA premiered.

For a previous issue it was explained that she is aromantic. I personally haven’t read the first anthology from 2024, but this is what others had said.

I was not ready for the callback to “Real Life”.

Don’t those who experience seizures eat a keto diet?

He’s part of a music group called the Star Trek Rat Pack (songs about Trek) which features Max Grodenchik, Casey Biggs, Vaughn Armstrong, and Ethan Phillips. They perform the last night of each convention they attend.

EDIT: FYI, this show is raunchy (especially due to the jokes Ethan tells). Not to be seen with your kids.

If you didn’t leave when the API pricing went up, everything is your fault.

In response to how joyful it was to read what Brad and George had to say, I wore this to work.

EDIT: As an Asian Trekkie, it is hard to explain how proud I am to have Uncle George as a role model.
