• ”Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.” The middle of the battle against the Rev-1 seems like an odd time for Murf to imitate someone complaining about “Star Trek: Discovery”, but he does seem to have things handled.

• ”You talk too much, Mr. Crusher.” Ascensia echoes Captain Picard’s sentiments from “Datalore”.

• We see the incurser weapon embedded in the hull of the USS Voyager A, not dissimilar from the Jem’Hadar torpedo that struck the USS Defiant in “Starship Down”, or the photon torpedo that took a bite of the USS Enterprise in “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2”

• Tysess invokes an Andorian deity named Uzaveh, that has nor previously been mentioned on screen, but did originate in the DS9 novel, Paradigm.

• The incurser releases a wave of temporal radiation, which rapidly ages Tysess. Captain Picard’s hand experienced the same fate in “Timescape” when he reaches out to examine a bowl of rapidly rotting fruit.

    • Despite his rapid aging, Tysess’ hair remains the

Finally, RockLove have gotten the Picard d’ja pagh restocked! I won’t spoil Picard season 3, but this earring was featured in an episode. Not only was it featured but the actual prop was designed by the CEO of RockLove. The one they sell is made from the same molds.

I had this before but the chain on it broke. So happy I can buy another.

EDIT: If anyone was wondering if they had a Kira Nerys d’ja pagh, yes. It is currently in stock. I wear mine a lot. All my earrings are Star Trek related. https://www.rocklove.com/products/star-trek-x-rocklove-kira-nerys-bajoran-cuff-earring

• ”You hear that, Grom? Let’s cut the chitchat and concentrate.” Much her fellow Lurian, Morn, the Nova Squadron cadet has the gift of the gab.

• The Nova Squadron cadets are practicing a maneuver called the Boothby Supernova, named for the venerable Starfleet Academy groundskeeper, who perished in such a maneuver, as per “In the Flesh”.

• The Doctor informs Zero that their organic body cannot sustain much more damage without ceasing to function altogether. Zero was informed their body would break down if they left Ovidia IV in “Is There in Beauty No Truth?”

    • The Doctor claims they’ll be able to make Zero a new body, and thanks to recent developments, that body will be able to experience physical sensation. In “Return to Tomorrow” the crew of the USS Enterprise was working to build android bodies for the Arretans, but those bodies would not be able to feel.

I want to live in a world where a person like Kor can accept a person like Dax.

If you have not seen this documentary, you now have no excuse. Go watch it.

William Shatner will be touring the U.S. from July 30-November 16 (he is already scheduled to appear at STLV, so a lack of August dates). He is screening Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan with a Q & A.

Does anyone have experience attending an event of this type or specifically a Shatner centric event? Would you recommend attending this? I have an opportunity to go to one of the tour dates. A single general ticket is $64.70

In a lower key, of course.

Many fans complain about Lwaxana Troi's StarTrek episodes but there were always those of us who loved her. Yesterday, Matt Baume shared his explanation of his own love for this character brought to life by the wonderful Majel Barrett.

Matt is a queer journalist. Much of his work focuses on how queer people influenced popular culture. His latest book is Hi Honey, I’m Homo.

(And Matt has no idea who I am or that I'm sharing his video on Threadiverse. 😹)

David wrote many, many Trek novels and comics, including the New Frontier series.

It is a Displate poster of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D senior crew. This was unexpected. I only see this person in passing for an hour before I leave (they work overnight). Trekkies really are great people.

Also the card they got is of Kirk with stickers inside.

If you want to see a better quality image of the artwork (the poster is metal), here is a link to the Displate website.

Sharing my photo of me at Vasquez Rocks that I mentioned in a different post.

Looks much smaller in person. Didn’t get a chance to get upclose. I was cutting it close on time to make it to Universal Studios Hollywood for Fan Fest Nights (it was a 2 hour drive in stop and go traffic for me).

But um, yay! I got to see the Famous Rock (the formation featured throughout Trek). There is another formation called Witch’s Hat (for looking like a witch’s hat).

So I wanted to start off by saying, yesterday was my birthday, the reason I chose to go on the second to last night of Fan Fest Nights. Earlier in the day I drove out to Vasquez Rocks (approximately 40 miles from Universal Studios). It was such an amazing night.

For those unaware, Fan Fest Nights is a new (first year) after hours event at Universal Studios Hollywood celebrating fandoms. Specific to the event, not preexisting were: Star Trek, Dungeon & Dragons, Back to the Future (the backlot had the entire Hilly Valley town square built for the event), One Piece, and Jujutsu Kaisen. This event included themed walking attractions (aka shows), characters (photo ops), food, drinks, and merchandise.

For Star Trek we got Red Alert a walking attractions that emulated the attraction from Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas years ago. Red Alert set in 2403, where you travel from Spaceport Los Angeles to Athan Prime to visit the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (featuring the actual bridg

• The episode title, “Cracked Mirror”, follows the practice of referencing mirrors in titles of episodes where the mirror universe is visited, going back to the very first, “Mirror, Mirror”.

    • Prior to “Cracked Mirror”, there were eight mirror universe episodes, alluding to mirrors in the titles:

      • “Mirror Mirror”
      • Through the Looking Glass”
      • “Shattered Mirror”
      • “Reflections”
      • “In a Mirror Darkly, Part I”
      • “In a Mirror Darkly, Part 2”
      • “Mirrors” - this episode does not visit the mirror universe, but does largely take place on a mirror universe ship that transported refugees to the prime universe

    • There are nine mirror universe episodes that don’t mention mirrors in the title, as well as the “Section 31” film. This
