Intrepid Class Ships are pretty cool.

Seeing "Kids These Days" immediately open with a sun-drenched, exposition-filled, recruitment walk-and-talk in a green, foreign land gave me all the nostalgic feels. The entire episode just felt bigger and grander than anything Trek has launched with in 10 years. And I love it! #StarfleetAcademy

Admiral Vance (holding a single ice cream), on the left, walks down a sandy path lined with thick green grass and trees on either side. It's very sunny. On the right, is Captain Nahla Ake (holding two ice creams, and licking some off her left wrist). She is wearing all white. (From Starfleet Academy's "Kids These Days.")

Ben Sisko, on the right, stands over his son, Jake, and has his arm around him as they stroll from right to left. It's sunny and bright and there are trees and brush in the background and a covered wooden bridge overhead, and the bright open sky can be seen in the upper right corner. Jake is carrying a thin and barely visible fishing pole in his right hand. (From DS9's "Emissary.")

Tom Paris (slightly blurry) is on the left wearing grey overalls and walking next Captain Janeway in standard Starfleet attire, as the stroll in front of a heavily wooded area, as the sun breaks through around them. (From Voyager's "Caretaker.")

Hoshi Sato, wearing shorts and red top, strolls down a sandy path that is covered with sunlight and heavy palms and green shrubbery all around. A linen short-sleeved button-up shirt wearing Captain Archer walks with her on the right. (From Enterprise "Broken Bow.")

Voyager is 31!

"Much will be made of the political correctness of this new venture, not least in that the captain of this ship is a woman".

A woman, captain of a ship 😱

Just a reminder that we've come a long way, and that the reactionary whiners of today are just the latest in a long line. 🖖

TELEVISION REVIEW

Now for a Politically Correct 'Star Trek'.

By JOHN O'CONNOR

"Sequence under way. Engage!" And the "Star Trek" franchise blasts off once again. Consider mere-ly this one statistic being bandled about by the producers: There are already more than 325 hours of "Star Trek" productions, including the original series (which began in 1966), the seven feature films and the television spinoffs, "Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)."

And now, with the centerpiece of the new United Paramount Network, Trekkers can focus their notoriously intense scrutiny on "Star Trek: Voy-ager," the first of the series created after the death of the "Star Trek" creator, Gene Roddenberry. Much will be made of the political correct-ness of this new venture, not least in that the captain of this ship is a woman, but "Star Trek" has long been a multicultural champion of erasing prejudices of all sorts. This time it just goes a bit further. After all, it's the 24th century.

Capt. Kathryn Janeway, played with unmistakable authority by Kate Mulgrew, takes the U.S.S. Voyager to search for a ship belonging to the Maquis, Federation colonists unhap-py with a new treaty. The problem is that the captain's chief of security is an undercover agent on the missing ship.

But the Voyager, with 15 decks and "bioneural" circuitry, is soon swept up in a displacement wave that pushes the star ship 70,000 light years away on the other side of the galaxy. The Federationists and the Maquis are forced to work together for survival.

It's an ingenious concept, bringing the series back to its early days of anything-can-happen suspense. Cap-tain Janeway spells it out: "We're alone in an uncharted part of the galaxy. We have no idea of the dan-gers we'll have to face. Somewhere we'll find a way back."

Tonight's two-hour pilot is certain-ly a marvel of special effects. Com-paring early "Star Trek" with this is like comparing "The Great Train Robbery" with St…

SFA has so many new and wonderful vibes. 💖

I had zero expectations going in, and so far I'm totally sold.
The Prodigy references really moved me. ✨

Too bad the hate level is insanely high everywhere - except on Bluesky. 😔

Throwback Thursday. This was my 1st Echo art based on her series on DisneyPlus. Digitally painted with Microsoft Paint 3D around the end of '23. #Echo #MCU #AlaquaCox #VincentDOnofrio #art #digitalart @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social

My digital painting of Echo and the Kingpin. A montage with Echo pointing a gun at the center of the image with Kingpin behind her. At the bottom, Kingpin is walking hand in hand with a younger Echo. Digitally painted with Microsoft Paint 3D just before her series dropped.

Kate Mulgrew appeared in three episodes of Murder She Wrote.

I just realized that in 10x17, The Dying Game, Musetta Vander also appears - she plays Harry Kim's lover in VOY 5x16, The Disease!! ✨
