A fan of Star Trek since it was a show, not a franchise.
Mostly harmless.

Ok, is this guy going to get a name?
Memory Alpha says it's Ensign Gamble, but he hasn't been named on-screen yet.

To all of you who found faults in #StarTrekSNW "A Space Adventure Hour", I hear you. You're right.
And let's not discuss the horrible computer architecture.
In the 90's, we'd get 1-2 silly episodes per 24 episode season. Now we're getting 3-4 out of 10.
But at this time, I NEED some silly.

I've come up with a possible explanation for why Dr. M'Benga from #StarTrekSNW looks at least ten years older than he does ten years later in #StarTrekTOS:
Joseph has a nephew who is currently doing an internship on Vulcan.
You heard it here first.

Personally, I'd replace Kes on that list with Keyla Detmer.

My #StarTrekENT re-watch has gotten to the Xindi arc.
I have never understood why they tested their "small" weapon on earth. Why didn't they test it on something local? Then surprise us with the big gun.
Human problem solved.

I have the same feeling about Troi. I've always pictured a writers'/ cast meeting: "what are we going to do to fix her? " "I know. Let's make her a chochoholic!"

I just watched "The Big Goodbye" on #AllStarTrek.
Is there any episode that more often violates the rule that Data cannot use contractions?
Maybe "Time's Arrow, " where he speaks French (a language in which contractions are required).

Not to be confused with "Wink of an Eye," which... wasn't.

Did they miss an opportunity in the #StarTrekLDS finale to settle whether or not the destruction of the Enterprise-E was REALLY Worf's fault?

Hard mode: name a FEMALE non-LOTR character that could resist the One Ring. #StarTrekDS9
(She resisted the sword of Kahless!)

I think about this old (TAS era?) #StarTrek comic book/ record set surprisingly often.
M'Ress is the hero of this one. IIRC there's some alien who doesn't appreciate the Enterprise's diverse crew.
But if there hasn't been a Caitan on board, everybody would have been in trouble.

Just watched "Requiem for Methuselah" on #AllStarTrek. I'm always impressed with Louise Sorel's performance as Rayna. Through most of the episode, she sits squarely in the "uncanny valley" (50 years before the term was coined), and then she emerges. "Nobody orders me!"

I love #StarTrek, but...
Am I the only one who shudders whenever they talk about a "subroutine"?
I haven't used that word since I worked in Fortran.
Sure, it could come back in a century or two, but it feels like an English major truing to explain computers in the 70's. (Which it probably was)

Just watched "That which Survives" on #AllStarTrek. I think we have an instance of a hand double for James Doohan, who lost a finger on his right hand on D-Day.
What do you think?

2: In the #StarTrekTNG episode "Deja Q", the Enterprise is trying to fix the orbit of a small moon around Bre'el IV. They kept trying to push the moon at perigee (the lowest point in the orbit), which wouldn't help a bit. They needed to push at apogee, at the highest point. Maybe not as dramatic...

I love #StarTrek. But the shows' understanding of orbital dynamics is...lacking.
1: Orbits don't decay that quickly. Sputnik I (mankind's first satellite) flew for 3 months before re-entering. Seeing the Galileo or Enterprise start burning up as soon as the engines shut down burns me up.

#StarTrek has a recurring theme of aging characters for one reason or another. A challenge for the makeup department. Let's see how they did:
