Newspeak would be an attempt to prevent any language that hinted at things deemed “bad”. For example, we couldn’t call this “fascism” with Newspeak because the approved language would remove that word completely. Newspeak isn’t just changing how you say things, but preventing unapproved behavior entirely by saying those things don’t exist.

You mean from Alpha to Delta shift.

Well that isn’t the issue, it’s that anything which isn’t 100% in favor of the Israeli state is being equated with antisemitism.

Where was this group during the first Trump Administration when he started doing that shit?

Well this is both "correct" and wrong simultaneously. The Final Cut, which is the canonical version, states that Deckard is a replicant.

However if you watch 2049, that is specifically a sequel to the non-canon theatrical cut. So the statement would be incorrect in that instance.

Well with Tesla, that was a lawsuit. He was being sued and due to the outcome, board members became co-founders. Legally Musk is considered a co-founder of Tesla.

So we are more worried about the privacy communications instead of how we are bombing Yemen. Great. Fantastic.

I mean, you could just look up someone’s personnel file and see their rank didn’t change after they returned to Alpha Quadrant.

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.

New Key West Tourism Ad (startrek.website)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Heard a tourism ad for Key West, Florida which has the line “There’s only one road into Key West[…]” on The D-Con Chamber podcast. This is where my mind went.

 

EDIT: For anyone doubting the validity of a YouTube channel, Ellie Littlechild and Seán Ferrick are people that attend Trek events. I met Seán at STLV last year. On top of this they have interviewed Mulgrew. While this news is unconfirmed as Ellie stated, Seán relayed this information second hand from Star Trek: The Cruise, which featured the cast of Voyager for its 30th anniversary.

Changes in Vulcan Beliefs (startrek.website)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Did Syrran’s teachings change the accepted spiritual and philosophical ideology of mainstream Vulcan society? ENT had the unique position of being a prequel to TOS. It at first presented mind-melds as a deviant act that was socially unacceptable. Moving into the 23rd century of TOS and the movies (I’m going on recall right now), the deviance seemed to have gone away. However the dangers of mind-melds held true even by the time of VOY. When ENT reached the three parter of “The Forge”, “Awakening” and “Kir’Shara”, the story specifically focused on katras.

It feels like the direction ENT was pointed, the people in charge of the big lore wanted to flip what we knew about Vulcan society. One of the major conflicts over the course of the series was the Earth-Vulcan relationship. Of course this was rooted in the Federation arch.

To clarify my question: did the rebellious teachings of a cult (T’Pol specifically calls the Syrrannites a “violent cult”), become the accepted beliefs over a century?

 

This special announcement comes after previously announcing Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike) and Jennifer Morrison (Winona Kirk) from ST09 for the convention.

 

Various ticket packages are available (which mainly include access to the park itself). Tickets start at $74 (Sunday dates), $79 (Friday dates) and $84 (Saturday dates).

If you are interested in cosplaying, the website has a list of restrictions. The ones I noted that would apply to Trekkies are no phasers, no balloons (I saw a person with balloons at STLV), or service animals in costume/part of costume (I saw this too at STLV). So please read the list before dressing up.
