This honestly warms my frozen Manitoban heart.

It would be great if we would all show a little more collective pride and promote the places we live as, you know, nice places to visit.

Every place in this country has something to offer.

You know, modern medicine has made great strides when it comes to issues like this.

  1. It's not a zero-sum game, and one entry doesn't have to die for another to live.

  2. From estimates I've seen, the viewership of "Lower Decks" is relatively low, second only to "Prodigy." It may be very popular with people like us, but it doesn't seem to generate as many viewers as you might expect.

The Star Trek: Legacy we deserve

Pretty mean thing to say about Jonathan Frakes...

Correct, latinum cannot be replicated: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Latinum

This link doesn't lead to a statement that latinum can't be replicated, because that's never actually been established on-screen. It makes sense and is almost certainly true, but it remains fanon.

I'll go first: I played the hell out of 1993's Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy.

Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy

In retrospect, it was a pretty simple game, but it felt pretty robust to this eleven-year-old. You took the role of commander of the Enterprise (specifically not Picard, as he gave you the missions), and made use of the TNG crew to complete various assignments, from cargo runs to ~~squaring up against~~ getting annihilated by Romulan warbirds.

And who wouldn't fall in love with graphics like these?

An actual top 5 list is likely to be fluid from moment to moment, but right now I'm going to give some love to the small, functional ships that don't get a lot of attention.

  • Danube class runabout
  • Nova class
  • Raven-type
  • Intrepid class (okay this one gets plenty of love)
  • Yeager-type (you know you love it)

To be honest, if he was, by his own admittance, standing on a public sidewalk for 30 minutes with his gear, then he earned that loitering fine.

According to this very article, with emphasis added,

Quebec City's municipal bylaw says that is "prohibited for a person, without a reasonable motive … to loiter, wander or sleep in a street or a public space."

[Criminal defence lawyer Florence Boucher Cossette] said Morris likely has a good shot at winning his case, as people accused of loitering when they were sunbathing or drinking coffee on a bench were acquitted in previous cases.

From last month's announcement:

"I grew up watching Star Trek with my dad who is single handedly responsible for turning me into a fan,” said Mescudi. “The most important thing to me is to be as authentic as possible. Star Trek’s mission has always been about having a hopeful future and when I was first approached about this project it was the perfect marriage of all the things I believe in – being brave and a hero by doing what’s right and fighting for freedom. I can’t wait to share my love of this incredible franchise with the world.”

The party's in trouble, there's no question about that - I'm not convinced that this will be the turning point, but I also don't think that's really the point of this story, y'know?

A tragic tale, told in the most overwrought way imaginable.
