With the Borg Queen they have never explained if the different actors are all the same character or different iterations of the Queen.

That would work if SNW came after TOS. But in DIS and SNW we’ve seen ridges. But no direct mention of the events of “Affliction”. So by the late 2260s, why would a majority of those alive exhibit one singular trait that is considered a defect and suddenly disappear after 2270?

EDIT: If both groups of Klingons always exist side-by-side then writers would likely want to make it clear in dialogue. I think they should.

Huh. I would have thought for the sake of including more female Ferengi on screen, clothing would have been adopted more widely. I figure that Zek’s reforms when he was Nagus might have had a bigger impact. Guess maybe Zek wasn’t as well respected?

 

How might SNW explain the physiology of the Klingons that have ridged foreheads versus the smooth foreheads that come from the failed augment experiment in ENT? A refresher: during the run of ENT, Klingons attempted to replicate the experiment of Human Augments. It ends up failing, which results in the physiology of the population changing, thus giving a in-universe explanation for why the makeup in TOS varies from how they appear TMP and onward.

How might SNW address this bit of lore? TOS takes place during 2265-2269. SNW first episode “Strange New Worlds” is 2259, six years prior. We already know Klingons with ridged foreheads exist thanks to DIS. We even see some during “The Broken Circle”. Might one possible way of explaining the change be a shift in the military and/or political factions of the Empire that lead to more of the smooth foreheads Klingons dominating?

When I heard Garak and Sisko used tailoring terms to discuss illicit stuff, I didn’t realize it was contained to one episode where a member of the Romulan government is killed.

Hero Within has also been affected. They stopped ⅓ of manufacturing.

“toH, teSDu'Daj Qoypu'DI'” isn’t as catchy.

Apparently “Shadowplay” translates to QI'yaH which is also mu'qaD which means curse.

I gotta wonder seriously if whatever happened was during “Supernova”. Because then I can believe that.

Let me tell you, as someone who isn’t getting news from television or the formerly awesome Breaking News (a digital news aggregator that was bought by NBC and later shutdown in 2016), things are bad when you hear about a mass shooting a day after it occurs. This shouldn’t be happening but it should be the worst thing making headlines. The fact it got drown out by President Dumbberfuckle Trumperdickle isn’t good.

Tell that to The Doctor! /s

But did the owner live there?

Has anyone looked up morality in the dictionary and compared it to the Torah?

It was long after the reunion which I realized this and I feel ashamed for all times I’ve rewatched the series since.

 

A warning upfront. They rank every single uniform, even clothing you didn’t realize was a uniform. The video is 1 hour 14 minutes long.

Chris Fenoglio, artist who worked on the Lower Decks ongoing comic book series, recreated the iconic pin-up of X-Men in swimsuits for the Lower Decks crew. Even some non-crew got featured (to fully recreate every detail of the original).

 

If they actually assimilated exocomps, Peanut Hamper would be the first person to get kicked out of the Collective.

 

Sorry for the screenshot. The announcement was a Facebook Reels post. No individual images. It is the same magnetic style as the badges Fansets are well known for. No information if STLV will be the launch of this product or a limited release just for STLV this year. Hope I can get one.

UPDATE: According to a comment on the post, this will become available on the website after STLV. So look for it after August 10.

Damn it Q! (startrek.website)
 
 

If you haven’t watched all of Picard, “All Good Things…” (TNG season 7 episode 25) and “Endgame” (VOY season 7 episode 25), please be advised there are major spoilers.

This may come down to a personal interpretation: did the events of “All Good Things…” ever exist? There is one reason I ask this: the false positive diagnosis of irumodic syndrome. The way I see it, the events of that episode are rendered non-existent.

Jean-Luc assumes prior to his death in season 1 of Picard that his illness was irumodic syndrome. However, it is never specified in that season that he has the illness. In season 3 Jack Crusher is diagnosed with it and assumed inherited. However by the end we learn it was a condition related to his time as Locutus of Borg.

In VOY, the future timeline with Admiral Janeway appears to be connected to the anti-timeline future from “All Good Things…”. The Admiral wearing the same uniform and badge. However the big difference is that the present day Prime Voyager is aided by future technology. We do not see the influence of Admiral Janeway get reversed, only the events of her future.

So did the events of “All Good Things…” actually occur or did the temporal incursion being fixed rendered it non-existent? After all, Q was testing Jean-Luc. Only Jean-Luc had memory of what happened. Sub-question: did Jean-Luc actually have a correctly diagnosed irumodic syndrome in the anti-timeline future?

For those unaware, Garrett Wang has discussed many times that on his way to his Voyager audition, he almost ran over Harrison Ford at Paramount Studios.

Dirty Laundry is a game show on Dropout where guest (mainly comedians) drink cocktails and guess each other’s secrets.

EDIT: Just to be clear, this wasn’t Garrett, and that isn’t a secret. And no one brings that up.
