2017 Audio Interview with Tony Todd (www.playstartrekonline.com)

The STO team has re-shared this in light of Tony Todd's passing:

When Tony recorded with us, he was kind enough to sit down and do an interview about his career. That's what we'll always remember about him, his kindness. Tony could terrify you and make you cry in the same scene, but the man himself was a joy. RIP.

they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf

Anyone who wants to spool up an alt on a defederated server is welcome to do so. We suck at totalitarianism.

I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!

Meaney had always struck me as the ultimate working actor, fairly ambivalent about Star Trek beyond it being a job (which is fine).

It's hard to imagine him turning down an offer, were it too come in.

Captain Picard falls asleep; dreams of some dead people.

I think the headline misrepresents it a bit, but:

  • Tim's has a long history of playing to a sense of nostalgia and "shared Canadian values".

  • Politicians have been using this association to try to seem like Regular Joes for years.

  • The franchise is owned by one of the largest corporations in the world.

  • Their menu increasingly contradicts the "traditional" vibe they promote, with newer items like Sweet Chili Chicken Loaded Wraps and Loaded Bowls, Tiramisu Cold Brew, and Blackberry Yuzu Sparkling Quenchers.

  • They're also increasingly expanding options that discourage people from eating in-store, eroding their "de facto town square" image.

  • Maybe the confused identity of the brand reflects the confused identity of Canada as a whole.

To be honest, it's a pretty muddled piece, but there are a couple of interesting points in there.

didn't he play grudge

Star Trek isn't Star Trek, but on occasion you may find that it's Star Trek.

I assume they're returning to their truck to retrieve some sort of accelerant.

it didn’t seem to have an answer for why the Federation didn’t use it later.

Well, you need to either find and enslave an exotic space tardigrade in order to navigate the network, or illegally splice said tardigrade's DNA into your own.

And even then, navigation is pretty challenging, and can result in accidental time and/or interdimensional travel.

And a malfunction has the potential to destroy all life in the multiverse.

And both ships that had the prototypes installed were lost within about a year.

Take your pick, really.

Elevating a notorious enemy general to the position of ambassador in a handful of years is a total Starfleet move.

Now do Twitter. Not for this reason, but just because.
