  • Maybe Pike is haunted by the memory of her, knowing that because his fate is already written he wouldn’t have even been able to sacrifice himself to save her from a horrible death, as parasitic lizards burrowed out from her flesh.

  • I looked into getting a proper Bajoran earring when I put together my Shaxs costume for Halloween two years back. Unfortunately the cost was a bit too prohibitive on top the uniform, pips, and badge, so I just made my own.

    Still, if I was able to find one actually based on Shaxs’….

    ”Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.” The middle of the battle against the Rev-1 seems like an odd time for Murf to imitate someone complaining about “Star Trek: Discovery”, but he does seem to have things handled.

    ”You talk too much, Mr. Crusher.” Ascensia echoes Captain Picard’s sentiments from “Datalore”.

    • We see the incurser weapon embedded in the hull of the USS Voyager A, not dissimilar from the Jem’Hadar torpedo that struck the USS Defiant in “Starship Down”, or the photon torpedo that took a bite of the USS Enterprise in “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2”

    • Tysess invokes an Andorian deity named Uzaveh, that has nor previously been mentioned on screen, but did originate in the DS9 novel, Paradigm.

    • The incurser releases a wave of temporal radiation, which rapidly ages Tysess. Captain Picard’s hand experienced the same fate in “Timescape” when he reaches out to examine a bowl of rapidly rotting fruit.

        • Despite his rapid aging, Tysess’ hair remains the

    • Dal records the stardate as 61945.4

    ”You hear that, Grom? Let’s cut the chitchat and concentrate.” Much her fellow Lurian, Morn, the Nova Squadron cadet has the gift of the gab.

    • The Nova Squadron cadets are practicing a maneuver called the Boothby Supernova, named for the venerable Starfleet Academy groundskeeper, who perished in such a maneuver, as per “In the Flesh”.

    • The Doctor informs Zero that their organic body cannot sustain much more damage without ceasing to function altogether. Zero was informed their body would break down if they left Ovidia IV in “Is There in Beauty No Truth?”

        • The Doctor claims they’ll be able to make Zero a new body, and thanks to recent developments, that body will be able to experience physical sensation. In “Return to Tomorrow” the crew of the USS Enterprise was working to build android bodies for the Arretans, but those bodies would not be able to feel.

    Canon Connections: PRO 2x14 - Cracked Mirror

    • The episode title, “Cracked Mirror”, follows the practice of referencing mirrors in titles of episodes where the mirror universe is visited, going back to the very first, “Mirror, Mirror”.

        • Prior to “Cracked Mirror”, there were eight mirror universe episodes, alluding to mirrors in the titles:

          • “Mirror Mirror”
          • Through the Looking Glass”
          • “Shattered Mirror”
          • “Reflections”
          • “In a Mirror Darkly, Part I”
          • “In a Mirror Darkly, Part 2”
          • “Mirrors” - this episode does not visit the mirror universe, but does largely take place on a mirror universe ship that transported refugees to the prime universe

        • There are nine mirror universe episodes that don’t mention mirrors in the title, as well as the “Section 31” film. This

    Canon Connections: PRO 2x13 - A Tribble Called Quest

    • The episode title refers to the hip hop group, A Tribe Called Quest, which Data mentioned as being his favourite recording artists in the TNG episode, “Family”.

        • Tribbles first appeared in “The Trouble with Tribbles”.

    • Rok-Tahk refers to the tribble by it’s scientific name, tribleustus ventricosus, which was first mentioned in the short, “The Trouble with Edward”.

        • Keiko O’Brien’s classroom in DS9 had a diagram of tribble labeled polygeminus grex, which was taken from the “Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual”, published in 1977.

    ”A tribble outbreak once brought the Klingon Empire to its knees.” Worf mentioned in “Trials and Tribble-ations” that tribbles were once considered mortal enemies of the Empire.

    ”But tribbles don’t have teeth.” We saw a tribble with teeth in the PIC episode, “The Bounty”, but that was genetically modified.

    • Giant tribbles approaches the Protogies and Chakotay. In the TAS episode, “More Tribbles, More Tro

  • I always like getting the calendar, even though I would much prefer it was possible to get a Canadian iteration.

    That said, none of the images in this one are really jumping out at me. A cool variety of different ships from different eras and shows, but nothing really interesting. I like seeing the ships, but let's see them doing something. Give me some Tholian webs, or a giant green space hand.

    Canon Connections: Pro 2x12 - Last Flight of the Protostar, Part II

    • Janeway records the stardate 61898.2 in her vice admiral’s log.

    • Janeway recounts the events of “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”

    • It’s Doctor Crusher! From Star Trek! Doctor Crusher is voiced by Gates McFadden, who played the character on TNG.

        • ”She’s surprisingly hard to track down these days.” It was revealed in “Seventeen Seconds”, Doctor Crusher left Starfleet after learning she was pregnant with Jack.

    ”Been a while since the Shinzon incident.” Admiral Janeway did order the USS Enterprise E to Romulus in “Star Trek Nemesis”, but she didn’t have any interaction with Doctor Crusher in the film.

    ”Last I heard, he was busy with the Romulan evacuation.” We learned in “Remembrance” that Picard left the Enterprise E to to command Starfleet’s rescue armada ahead of the Romulan sun going supernova.

    • There have been two Starfleet ships named for Archimedes, one mentioned in the Short Treks episode, “The Brightest Star”, and the Obena-class ve

    Canon Connections: PRO 2x11 - Last Flight of the Protostar, Part 1

    • The episode picks up where the pervious episode, “The Devourer of All Things, Part II” left off, with the Protogies having located an older, grizzled, bearded Chakotay on a remote world. Chakoldtay immetately throws the CHAH-mooz-ee stone Dal was holding out to him at the end of the previous episode over his shoulder and goes back about the business of living off the land.

        • We see Chakotay whittling a chess set. Though as alternate dimension Kirk puts it in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, the old fashioned, two-dimensional version, ”Basically idiot’s chess.”

    • It’s the Emergency Janeway Hologram! From Star Trek! The EJH…died for lack of a better term when she sacrificed herself in “Supernova, Part 2”, but thanks to time travel, she’s back.

    • We learn that from Chakotay’s perspective, it’s been ten years since he was rescued from Solumn by the Protogies in “Who Saves the Saviors”.

    • Chakotay explains that he and Adreek stranded the USS Protostar to pr

  • I cannot recommend “Warp Your Own Way” enough to any fans of the series. Calling it a graphic novel fails to account for the fact that it is a choose your own adventure style story which makes perfect sense in the context of the story being told. An absolute master craft of the comics format. Also, it’s funny and the art is good.

  • Much like Captain Bateson and the USS Bozeman, we’re back, baby!

    The PRO canon connections got derailed by LDS and seasonal depression, but seeing that the Greatest Trek podcast was about to overtake how far I got has me in it to win it. My plan is to get it done before SNW drops.

    Canon Connections: PRO 2x10 - The Devourer of All Things, Part II

    • The episode opens in the office where Wesley took the Protogies at the end of “The Devourer of All Things, Part I”, which appears to be based on Gary Seven’s office from “Assignment: Earth”.

        • Wesley confirms that it is not the actual office from “Assignment: Earth”, but a replica mimicking that office to train the Travellers’ field agents.

        • The newspaper in the office has a headline reading “Apollo VII Launches.” There was an Apollo VII mission patch displayed behind the bar of the 602 Club in “First Flight”.

          • The story of “Assignment: Earth” did feature a rocket launch, but that was for an orbital nuclear weapon platform, which Gary Seven was able to sabotage and detonate.

        • When Wesley turns around the bookcase revealing a hidden computer identical to the Beta 5 computer as seen in “Assignment: Earth”

  • In this case, yes. The character Kirk was fighting in the gif you posted was surgically disguised as an Andorian to disrupt the diplomatic talks regarding the dilithium mining world, Coridan, in the episode "Journey to Babel".

    The Andorian in the screen grab in your second comment is an Andorian.

  • Ah, that was my second guess.

  • Did you mean “Yesteryear” for TAS? “Spock Amok” is an SNW episode.

  • I'm not sure I believe that Vulcans would be frying a lot of their foods, but those fritters do sound pretty good. Maybe without dumping enough paprika onto the hummus to make the logo, though.

    Speaking of fried foods, that Orion funnel cake looks like an atrocity.

  • My group switched to 2e pretty quickly after it became available. There are some significant differences, but for the most part it’s a streamlined version of 1e.

    Most of what’s available in the new Tech Guide would is simply information about the various technologies players would have access to. There’s only a few stat blocks.

  • It really does come across as a Suicide Squad riff. Which I guess is kinda what Cantwell's Defiant book has been, except he's not able to kill any of the characters, because as opposed to DC's third string jobbers like Heatmonger and Reactron, Defiant features Worf, and Spock, and B'Elanna Torres.

  • Neat!

    The book that appeals to me most is Red Shirts, if only because I've really enjoyed Cantwell's writing on the Defiant book. The premise sounds like it could be a bit of a slog, but hopefully it's not just about seeing these characters eat it.

    I guess Voyager - Homecoming is geared towards all the fans who found "Endgame" to be an unsatisfactory ending to VOY. The Bridges' work I'm mostly familiar with from their contributions to Star Trek Adventures.

    Honestly find it a bit difficult to muster up any enthusiasm for an SNW comic. I'm not at all familiar with Thompson's work -- looks like he's done a lot of young reader books and Star Wars stuff for Marvel -- but I'm immediately put off by the adorable robot sidekick idea. I'll still give the book a chance, but I'm not going to go in with high expectations.

    • “Star Trek: Section 31” is the 14th feature length Star Trek film, and and the first film made specifically for streaming.
