Star Trek Social Club

Picard dreaming. I now sorta feel like he talks in his sleep.

• 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 vessel seen in LDS’ “First First Contact”.

• ”I saw a glimpse of my future.” Dal looked at the timestream, despite being told not to, in “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”.

• “When I was your age, I was lost too. Lost my father, my heritage, my purpose.” As per “Tattoo”, Chakotay’s father died defending their colony. Chakotay would have been 40 or 41 at the time.

• ”I never truly belonged until I became Janeway’s Number One.” Janeway declared Chakotay first officer of the USS Voyager in “Caretaker”.

• We learned that the the USS Protostar’s proto-drive is powered by a literal protostar in “Terror Firma”.

my friend asked and I really don’t know because he likes to make fun of snoring

A warning upfront. They rank every single uniform, even clothing you didn’t realize was a uniform. The video is 1 hour 14 minutes long.

• 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 prevent the Vau N’Akat weapon learned about in “A Moral Star, Part 2” from reaching the Federation, and Dal recounts how the Protogies set off the weapon in “Supernova, Part 1” and then destroyed the Protostar in “Supernova, Part 2”.

• The first instance of an ion storm in Trek was in the season one TOS episode, ‘The Galileo Seven”.

• Zero finds the Protostar’s dedication plaque, and we learn that the ship was launched on stardate 59749.1. Assuming stardates happen sequetionally, that would put the launch of the Protostar after the events of all or most of season 5 of LDS, the latest stardate for which we have is 59499.6, “Fully Dialated”.

    • The Protostar’s dedication plague has the quote, “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves,” which seems to paraphrase a line of William Shakespeare’s “Julius Ceaser” and is attributed to him on many internet quote sites, but is not actually from the Bard’s works.

• Jankom sets about repairing the broken down runaway ground vehicle, which was introduced in “Dream Catcher”.

    • In this episode we learn the runaway has a hover function.

• ”Out of all the planets to maroon yourself on, you pick this P class nightmare?” Class P planets have not been previously mentioned on screen, but were introduced in the “Star Trek Maps” reference book, published in 1980. According to the “Star Trek Star Charts” reference book, Class P worlds are over 80% glaciated. Assuming Jankom is right, Chakotay apparently marooned the Protostar in a warm spot.

• Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.

[O]ne thing defines [Seska] in contrast to the Cardassians we’d been regularly seeing on Star Trek at that moment in time: she’s just kind of an absolute hot mess.

...

But it’s kind of what makes Seska work as a character: despite all this, villainy or otherwise, nothing ever quite clicks for her. It’s a great mirror to uphold against Janeway’s decision to have the crew take the long way home in the first place, the idea that, if they did ultimately just go Seska’s route and exploit their advantageous power in an unknown quadrant, it would doom them.

I would like to see Vulcan fail.

Anyways it has been destroyed in DIS

but I haven't seen a kind of evolution with, maybe starting with Spock and Burnham, that they learned to appreciate emotion and affection again.

• 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”

• Commander Tysess swears on the Wall of Heroes to protect Maj’el with his life. The Wall of Heroes was first mentioned in “United” when Shran said he would take Archer’s blood there after killing him in an honour duel.

• ”Fall back to the battle bridge!” The USS Voyager A is the only ship other than the USS Enterprise D to have a battle bridge mentioned in dialogue.

• Admiral Janeway shows up wearing a tank top, a look she first sported in “Macrocosam”.

• ”Tom Paris taught me that one.” Janeway and Paris spent a lot of time together during their time in the Delta Quadrant, particularly in the episodes “Time and Again”, and “Threshold”.

• The Voyager A’s shuttles are armed with quantum torpedoes. We’ve previously seen runabouts armed with micro-torpedoes, but this is the first shuttlecraft that has been explicitly said to be equipped with torpedoes of any sort.

    • The shuttle is also able to survive the detonation of a full spread of quantum torpedoes at close range.

• ”Now, if you six would step under the modified Boreth crystals near the Orb of Time, I can get the quantum signature readings I need.” We learned in “Through the Valley of Shadows” that time crystals are a naturally occurring mineral on the Klingon monastery world of Boreth. The Cardassians returned Orb of Time to the Bajorans in the episode “Trials and Tribble-ations”.

• ”Fine, but Jankom’s still not sure this won’t scramble his genes like a Jiballian omelette.” Neelix claimed his seven-spice Jiballian omelette was famous in “Prototype”.

• Janeway recognizes Wesley despite the two never having met previously. This is because there’s only ever about seven people on any given Starfleet ship that do anything, so everyone in starfleet knows who they are. See: all of Star Trek.

Yoo this is actually kinda sick, its star trek inspired clothing line.

They dont scream star trek but any fan will not miss it if they notice, I'm not sure I'd wear any around much even if I got one just because they are still slightly noticeable as not usual clothing but they just look like fancy clothes, some of them like the v necks or hoodies seem like they would be pretty wearable though. They sell the old dresses too, they stand out like a sore thumb lol If you are into leather jackets they would work well, they don't stand out much but still very much seem like star trek.

They are suuuper expensive though I think the materials reflect their price

And they sell cool golden metal star trek badges

Sorry for the screenshot. The announcement was a Facebook Reels post. No individual images. It is the same magnetic style as the badges Fansets are well known for. No information if STLV will be the launch of this product or a limited release just for STLV this year. Hope I can get one.

UPDATE: According to a comment on the post, this will become available on the website after STLV. So look for it after August 10.

In the pilot, they depict Mojave, California as being very terraformed from a desert to a lush parkland.

However, I find this a bit antiquated... this seems to be very much rooted in an atomic age scientific idealism that thought of how we could make the world work for us and bring it to more western standards of natural beauty.

I think this is in conflict with the TNG solar punk aesthetic and the general respect for nature implied by the Prime Directive - notice how there's no desert bushes in sight as if they wiped them out. This seems to be insane damage to the ecosystem.

I wonder if they'll ever revisit Mojavo on-screen, and whether they'll retcon this so that Mojave is a gorgeous desert town where they solved the problems of drought and extreme heat plaguing the southwestern US while working in tandem with and even boosting the local wildlife, rather than just razing everything and plastering grass and non-native trees over it.

I'd bet we probably only have 3 seasons for it to happen, considering that 5 seasons has tended to be the length of most recent Trek shows (except poor old Prodigy). The only thing giving me hope is that SNW seems to be a decently successful series.
