It was one of those ones where I had to look up the context. On my first watch I assume Boims said Ronald D. Moore, referencing the TNG/DS9/VOY writer, and “Battlestar Galactica” showrunner. I previously had no idea Piscapo’s holodeck character had a name beyond The Comic, which is what he was called in the script for “The Outrageous Okona”.

I’m going to guess the new problem ensign is one of the Platonians from the TOS episode, “Plato’s Stepchildren”.

Super excited to get more Ryan North LDecks content.

Though I really wish it was Chris Fenoglio doing the art. Fenoglio did the three issue mini, as well as the recent Warp Your Own Way choose your own adventure graphic novel, both with North, and he’s able to pull off the LDecks style flawlessly. Derek Charm is an artist whose work I quite like, and I did enjoy his Shaxs’ Best Day – who doesn’t like Shaxs beating up a Klingon mech? – but his renditions of the characters are a little bit off model.

Still gonna read the heck out of this.

Rick Berman?

That’s…a lot of assumptions not in any way supported by the linked article.

Fingers crossed!

I am very concerned that this episode is going to mess up all the plans I have for the Starbase 80 fan comic I’ve been wanting to do, but never actually will.

Which is baffling, considering just how visually interesting the sport is.

This is an excellent question.

I kinda hope it’s like a movie about the literal origin of Star Trek as a television show. At this point, I feel like that would have a better chance of actually getting made then anything set in universe.

I don’t know if the base game is out of print – I just checked a couple different stores, including GF9’s web shop, and it looks like you can still get it – but they did recently announce a Final Frontier collection coming out in 2025, which is going to include every previous expansion, and some new stuff, like the Gorn apparently, as well.

Upvoted for “The State”

Now now, let’s not be normative about the speed of facial hair growth. Some people take longer filling in their mustache and beards than others, and this could easily be something like 17 days if Boimler has particularly slow and/or sparse facial hair.

I would agree with you, if not for the fact that we’ve already seen Boimler’s facial hair potential in Beardler. Unless that alternate universe iteration of Boimler was using some sort artificial hair growth enhancement, it was naturally quite full, which would indicate to me that prime universe Boimler has that same potential.

The mugato was this year’s. I was actually struggling to decide what would be appropriate. Almost went with the salt vampire.

This makes Section 31 sound like Oceans 11.

The scene of Georgiou being recruited on Qo’noS by Leland was a deleted scene from Disco season one, so canonically, Georgiou wasn’t not running that bar/drug den/brothel in the Orion district. Still, it kinda bumps me that they’re revisiting the idea of her being recruited by S31 while operating some sort of drinking establishment.

Maybe they can delve into Philipa’s backstory about always having wanted to run a little hole in the wall, and just fell into being the despotic emperor of the horniest fascist galactic state.

Thanks! The artists are all one person, and they are me. I’ve tried to do an annual Trek jack-o’-lantern for a few years now.

Halloween is about monsters and villains.

October 31 Prompt - Alien Cultures

One of my favourite bits from the Star Trek Adventures TTRPG, is in the Beta Quadrant Sourcebook where it says that Klingons and Andorians both enjoy playing hockey, since becoming aware of the sport. The accompanying art is spectacular. Unlike this doodle that I just banged out after the trick-or-treaters stopped showing up to the door.

October 28 Prompt - Monster of the Week

While I’ve been enjoying playing around with digital art, my true calling is carving festive gourds. Here’s my annual Trek themed jack-o’-lantern.

October 27 Prompt - Shields Up

I miss when when a Trek show would just got nab a bunch of props and be like, "This week the Enterprise is going to a planet where the culture developed their own Roman empire that never actually fell."

Not super happy with how this one turned out, but I’ve reached the point where looking at everything just appears to be a bunch of shapes, so I’m gonna call it done.
