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

12 is what I want to pick as well, just because I feel like Riker and Kirk are some of the more gregarious characters, and would make for the best conversation, but that would be three relatively burly dudes in one another's space for a pretty long time.

I think ultimately I would have to pick 8.

So did 'Farscape'.

I think Burnham was referencing Book, not Tyler, when she said she knows what it’s like to lose someone but got him back.

I suppose you could interpret it that way, but I just don’t see it myself.

Book died during the final events of 10C, but they magically zapped him back into existence, if I recall correctly.

Book didn’t die, he was transporting out, and the 10C were able to capture his transporter pattern, and then later resolve it.

Star Trek has never been hard science fiction, though.

How is the spore drive any more fantastical than half of what happens in Trek?

The first issue of The Scorpius Run isn't doing much to grab me. The premise of the Enterprise crew being forced to compete in a race is interesting enough, but for whatever reason the idea that the Enterprise itself is going to be in the race just seems silly. Like a cruise ship race. All the other ships were of similar size; do they have comparable crew compliments?

Anyways, writing is fine, but the art seems a little stiff. I don't really have any thoughts on the issue beyond that.

Star Trek #11 is a fun read, but ultimately seems like it's spinning its wheels, as very little story progress is made here. There are a lot of good character interactions -- the highlight of which is once again Lore and Data, though Doctor Crusher and Sela also have a cool moment only slightly diminished by the fact that Sela still seems shoehorned into the book -- but the main attraction for Day of Blood is Sisko, Worf, and Emperor Kahless, and they're pretty much no where in the book.

Nit picks: The likeness for Tom Paris has always been off in this book, and never more so than in this issue. It's like the artist heard of the Nick Locarno issue and is worried he's going to have to pay royalties if Paris looks too much like Robert Duncan McNeil. Also, Ro has been done dirty ever since she showed up in Defiant #1, and this issue is no exception.

Compliment sandwich! I really like the interpretation of the Kobayashi Maru that Lily Sato gives.

And that's hardly noble.

Awesome, I’m glad you enjoyed Lower Decks.

One thing to note about Defiant is that it is a spinoff of Star Trek; the story picks-up after the first Star Trek arc.

I don't think either of us are arguing against the Federation reusing old components.

The only point of contention is that you were sceptical that the Voyager A could be a refit of an Intrepid-class starship due to the size disparity, and my argument is that, even though I am personally not a fan, the was the current crop of Trek showrunners have decided to use the term size doesn't really matter with regards to what is or is not a refit.

Memory Alpha and Ex Astris Scientia both treated the Klingons as consistent from TMP through ENT.

Do they, though?

It wasn’t until the deleted scenes from Into Darkness came out that the design was actually changed

The Klingon redesign from "Into Darkness" isn't just in the movie proper, it's in the trailer, Bud.
