So we are more worried about the privacy communications instead of how we are bombing Yemen. Great. Fantastic.

Oh, Smartypants. I forgot I watch that too.

I mean, you could just look up someone’s personnel file and see their rank didn’t change after they returned to Alpha Quadrant.

Add Make Some Noise. Those four are the only shows I watch.

I took one college course and couldn’t handle it. On top of that I was the weird student that wanted to use a Mac instead of the school’s own computers. So anytime I had a problem, the teacher would just blame me using Xcode instead of Visual Studio.

My grandfather helped me purchase the car I have. At one point he was arguing with the salesperson and I got uncomfortable.

 

For those unaware, Garrett Wang has discussed many times that on his way to his Voyager audition, he almost ran over Harrison Ford at Paramount Studios.

Dirty Laundry is a game show on Dropout where guest (mainly comedians) drink cocktails and guess each other’s secrets.

EDIT: Just to be clear, this wasn’t Garrett, and that isn’t a secret. And no one brings that up.

Except, they legally can’t do that everywhere. Many states have laws against direct sales. Doubt they’ll let third-party dealerships do any of the work.

I don’t understand this. Anyways, how’s your sex life?

If you have to tell anyone to contact an embassy, then they shouldn’t be traveling. However, if this is important business related travel, I am truly sorry they are facing such a situation.

Definitely gonna try the hasperat, bloodwine and Orion hurricane. Seriously, no gagh? The Andorian and Romulan ale sound the same. Not interested in a cocktail tea. Also, a plomeek tea but not a soup?

Some odd choices. If the Chateau Picard is the same wine Star Trek Wines makes, then I’ve had it. However, if that is the case then I’d expect the bloodwine to be from Star Trek Wines, which I haven’t had.

FYI: the three Chateau Picard bottles are the same. I asked a vender at STLV. Just a different bottle.

So when do I get a UT?

New Key West Tourism Ad (startrek.website)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by hopesdead@startrek.website to c/tenforward@lemmy.world
 

Heard a tourism ad for Key West, Florida which has the line “There’s only one road into Key West[…]” on The D-Con Chamber podcast. This is where my mind went.

 

EDIT: For anyone doubting the validity of a YouTube channel, Ellie Littlechild and Seán Ferrick are people that attend Trek events. I met Seán at STLV last year. On top of this they have interviewed Mulgrew. While this news is unconfirmed as Ellie stated, Seán relayed this information second hand from Star Trek: The Cruise, which featured the cast of Voyager for its 30th anniversary.

Changes in Vulcan Beliefs (startrek.website)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by hopesdead@startrek.website to c/daystrominstitute@startrek.website
 

Did Syrran’s teachings change the accepted spiritual and philosophical ideology of mainstream Vulcan society? ENT had the unique position of being a prequel to TOS. It at first presented mind-melds as a deviant act that was socially unacceptable. Moving into the 23rd century of TOS and the movies (I’m going on recall right now), the deviance seemed to have gone away. However the dangers of mind-melds held true even by the time of VOY. When ENT reached the three parter of “The Forge”, “Awakening” and “Kir’Shara”, the story specifically focused on katras.

It feels like the direction ENT was pointed, the people in charge of the big lore wanted to flip what we knew about Vulcan society. One of the major conflicts over the course of the series was the Earth-Vulcan relationship. Of course this was rooted in the Federation arch.

To clarify my question: did the rebellious teachings of a cult (T’Pol specifically calls the Syrrannites a “violent cult”), become the accepted beliefs over a century?

 

This special announcement comes after previously announcing Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike) and Jennifer Morrison (Winona Kirk) from ST09 for the convention.

 

Various ticket packages are available (which mainly include access to the park itself). Tickets start at $74 (Sunday dates), $79 (Friday dates) and $84 (Saturday dates).

If you are interested in cosplaying, the website has a list of restrictions. The ones I noted that would apply to Trekkies are no phasers, no balloons (I saw a person with balloons at STLV), or service animals in costume/part of costume (I saw this too at STLV). So please read the list before dressing up.
