Finally, a beauty hack for my body type.

I wish I didn't make half my money from commissions set up through reddit.

The "Happy Father's day" card was a surreptitious "I'm pregnant" announcement that first wasn't understood by Guilliman because he is figuratively called the (gene)father of the Ultramarines and their various successor chapters. This was then clarified with the pregnancy test when drawn/photoshopped like that is a common meme among animé circles. In the fourth and fifth panels Guilliman has a moment of shocked understanding as to the meaning of the letter, and a psychic projection of the God-Emperor (essentially Guilliman's Father) showing disapproval.

Now to clarify: The crowned Aeldari woman is Yvraine, emmisary and leader of the Ynnari (a mixed group of Aeldari who are attempting to bring back Ynnaed, the Eldar God of the Dead as a means of countering Slaanesh). The Ynnari had a whole thing near the end of Seventh Edition 40k in 2017 where among other things they allied with the Imperium against the 13th Black Crusade. Amongs that allyship, Yvraine with her mastery over death decided to bring Roboute Guilliman, the 13th Primarch, out of stasis with the help of a specially designed armor, the Mechanicus, and the Inquisition. Guilliman was downed and put into stasis on Ultramar some 9000 years prior after a fight with Fulgrim and had poison in his system. The armor and intervention of Yvraine let Guilliman finally be an active player in the setting where he did various things like become Lord Commander, have a meeting with the Emperor on the golden throne, start the Indomitus Crusade, and in various ways advance the setting a bit (the other big change is that Cadia has broken and a great rift in the warp has split the Galaxy in two). Not much has happened to the Ynnari since 2017, as the reception to the line / Army wasn't enthusiastic and they even had a lore book cancelled. In the three editions since they just quietly made Ynnari not its own army anymore as they were just three new models and a headswap (or just palette swap) on some troops, and people didn't like the "soup" aspect of just mixing in various knife ears together.

The internet being the internet, people saw that Guilliman and Yvraine were in the same room and concluded that they must be scoodilypoopin' because opposite gendered people can't ever just be friendly. In this fancomic, Guilliman is the "dad" of Yvraine's implicitly announced unplanned child. The Emperor would likely be disapproving, as abhoring the alien is one of the core tenets of the Imperium. That said, in old canon there was indeed a half Eldar Ultramarine Librarian so hybrids are officially hypothetically possible, but that's retconned out. I think Aeldari have a described triple helix DNA or something like that.

I'll never stop hoping for more new Whomp.

Star Trek Enterprise is the *only * canon Star Trek show.

The Kelvin Timeline follows it and mentioned Admiral Archer's prized beagle.

The Original Series, The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, Prodigy, Picard, and Lower Decks had their canon overwritten by time travel from the movies and retroactive continuity. Discovery, while also a prequel and giving some nods to ENT in later seasons, is now in a branched off timeline of the future. Star Trek Strange New Worlds also treats Enteprise as canon (and give homages to it), but is also branched out in a different timeline now with what they changed from Khan's origin.

You bet. Where's Sammy Davis Jr?

That's right, design notes. Don't change Riker's body. Two Cakes Frakes is perfect as is.

NBI for stating that you achieved the scoring conditions necessary for victory within the sporting match. EIH overall. Spending potentially productive time during an active war on frivolous sporting matches is illogical. The human "Ben" and non-Vulcans for overly celebrating a meager score is illogical. YABI for not accepting the tenets of IDIC, not attempting to absorb the POV of other species, and basing multiple papers on one anecdote instead of collecting more evidence or focusing on other behaviors. Despite the frivolous match, the logical thing would have been to encourage morale by congratulating them on their exerted effort, as this would reflect a reward for similar exerted efforts during an interstellar conflict that you mentioned.

Were they really 29? I thought they were like sixty or so.

This episode seems full of subtle allusions or homages, albeit possibly accidental, considering how much that ice field scene looked so much like Titan A.E.

The Ice Debris field have me Titan AE vibes, especially with making a new planet at the end.

yep, checks out

I'm not sure what to think of this episode. The interweaving of the plotline with TNG's Lower Decks eponymous episode feels off and some of the plot beats generally too contrived but not so much that I can point to something and say "this is bad."

I might need to simmer on it for a bit, or see how the second part goes.

I think about those sleeveless uniforms often and frequently forget that this comic series is a bit obscure.

This was a nice wholesome episode.

They want the Entergalactic audience.

A bit of a weird episode in that the protagonists didn’t solve much, the two problems just sort of fizzled out for their own reasons.

One can say the same for plenty of good stories like Indiana Jones.

Boimler and Tendi are rarely paired up for their A/B-plots, as well as Rutherford and Mariner. I was kind of disappointed much wasn't done with that, they were just kind of ... there and it was Boimler and Rutherford's story chiefly. Not much character interaction between the duo. That made it a bit funnier when Rutherford was like "Tendi is right" and Mariner was taking a bit of umbrage to that.

I like it when the Ferengi stay on brand.

Yeah, I wouldn't have noticed the pun without reading the subtitles.
