I think The Q Conflict is an absolute banger, and the Lower Decks mini, as well as the choose your own adventure style Lower Decks - Warp Your Own Way are great. Star Trek - Year Five is also pretty good, as is the Sisko Star Trek book and Defiant, both of which just ended, though only three volumes of each are included here.

A lot of the rest of those… Personally I am not champing at the bit to reread the ones I’ve already read.

Thanks for catching that. With my dyslexia, I’m genuinely surprised how few errors like that get called out.

Thanks!

I fully intend to do SNW, “Academy” and any other new Trek we get. Hopefully in a more timely fashion than I did this season of PRO. Not having a weekly release schedule, and not being available for streaming in Canada definitely caused a lot of delays in finishing up this season.

Give me a full Gorn Wedding playset from that one episode of LDecks!

Also, this is the first time I’ve ever been really interested in an EXO-6 figure

Janeway’s Family Farm & Cock Fighting Emporium

I think. Kirk certainly seems unfamiliar with the Gorn, but they never really say it’s the first contact

There never say it’s first contact, but Kirk acts like he’s never even heard of the Gorn before.

" I have been somehow whisked off the bridge and placed on the surface of an asteroid, facing the Captain of the alien ship. Weaponless, I face the creature the Metrons called a Gorn. Large, reptilian."

However, that is definitely not the retcon Goldsman was talking about. He specifically says, “t was an opportunity to retcon something into a real monster.”

I bet it’s a Phylosian.

Yes! I was just coming here to say the same thing.

The Gorn aren’t scary because they’re giant Xenomorphs in lizard drag, they’re scary because they’re intelligent, relentless, and remorseless.

I assume this is somehow going to tie into the Project Phoenix that was teased in PIC season 3. Can’t say I’m exactly champing at the bit to see Kirk in era of the Burn, but hell, why not.

I do wish the construction of the title wasn’t so goofy though. The La St Arship,

The Kelvin timeline didn’t reboot everything. The Narada traveling back in time and destroying the Kelvin established a new timeline as a separate branch.

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’….

At least all apartments in the Federation are rent controlled.

I think if I were to make the attempt at this, I’d have used a silicone ice cube tray. I’ve got one in my silicone moulds. Not as fun as the Starfleet delta, but pretty good at making things cube shaped.

With that many triticales, it gets to be like latinum and Borg cortical nodes: too complicated to replicate.

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.

Presumably it would be the various Tholians we’ve seen over the course of the franchise, as they require a temperature around 480 Kelvin to survive.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

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.
