The costuming is from the same design language and it was lame for the 1980s if passable in the 70s.

It was a recycle two—for-one: The costuming overlapped on that one, the plot recycling was saved for the equally eye-rolling ‘Angel One’ where

In this episode, an away team visits a world dominated by women to search for survivors of a downed freighter, while the crew of the Enterprise suffer from the effects of a debilitating virus.

Sorry, it really looked and played too much like the scenario in Roddenberry’s 2nd failed ‘Dylan Hunt’ pilot ‘Planet Earth’ (1974).

Roddenberry never left any idea unrecycled, but John Saxon looked better as eye candy.

Diana Muldaur looked better in the X-cross get-up too.

This is also raising questions of foreign interference/influence in democratic process.

Closer to 15 years younger unfortunately since Matelas insisted that it was still 2501. The makeup and cinematography unfortunately made him look closer to 40 at times. UHD can be very unforgiving but EPs casting are in denial.

Speleers has made public that he read for the part of Jim Kirk for SNW, and I can really see how that would have worked.

Season 3 of Picard is more than a decade after Prodigy season 2. If a person can’t grown their hair out in 14+ years they need more than a follicle stimulator.

But the scene did drive home that Ed Speleers looked incredibly old in 2501 for a child that was just gurgling when Westley visited in Prodigy season 2.

I found it interesting that in recent articles quoting Kate Mulgrew on her conditions for Janeway to return in live action, the thing she most stressed was that she had told Alex Kurtzman that the quality of the writing would have to be meticulous.

She’s very happy with the writing for Janeway in Prodigy but sounds like she needs to be convinced that it would be the same in live action.

I have thought ‘Move Along Home’ was great since first broadcast.

DS9 hadn’t yet locked into its eventual tone, but I hold to my view that it’s an episode that wouldn’t have raised the ire of the ‘Dignity of Trek’ on just about any of the other shows in the franchise.

Also @[email protected] has confirmed on his Mastodon account that CTV continues to retain the licence but the EPs didn’t have any news on when it might run either.

I have to wonder if there are any standard ‘use it or lose it’ clauses that crystallize after a certain point in the contracts for streaming licences.

I enjoyed it. It helped me see how Georgiou’s had already begun her journey even before season two of Discovery and it was a fun ride.

Simon & Schuster has been careful to select the best of its established ‘Relaunch Novelverse’ group of authors to write the tie-in books for its new live-action shows.

If you like the action focus of John Jackson Miller’s other tie-in fiction for Star Trek or other franchises, you’ll definitely like this one.

Definitely above average among Trekbooks, but there are some outstanding by some of the others that would place higher.

Emony (the gymnast) appears prominently in the Discovery novel ‘Die Standing’ that tells MU Georgiou’s journey between seasons one and two.

In the book, Emony had a covert identity as an operative for Starfleet Intelligence and was paired with Georgiou for a mission.

So, I have been hoping that Emony might appear in the S31 event movie.

While Chase Masterson’s Leeta took on Emony’s identity in the Trill zhian’tara ritual, there’s no reason to think she couldn’t be very different looking than Chase. So I am hoping Emony might be one of the yet-to-be-named female main characters.

 

A fairly thorough piece.

Whatever your view on whether it’s a pro or con for the ensemble and storytelling, SNW ‘Lost in Translation’ having covered off the ‘met him when he made fleet captain’ reference to Pike in TOS, there seems to be a great deal of flexibility for SNW to keep bringing Jim Kirk into its stories.

Here’s one unexpected take.

So what does that mean for Kirk? We have to wait until 2265 for him to take over as captain of the Enterprise, right? Well, maybe not. Canon is oddly vague on the handover from Pike to Kirk. In fact, only one episode of TOS actually takes place in 2265: “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” the second pilot. There’s also nothing that indicates Kirk didn’t serve on the Enterprise in another role before getting promoted. If, in theory, Pike were to step down and someone else became an interim captain, then nothing is stopping Kirk from serving on the Enterprise before 2265.

This is a very carrotty 70s health food version. It has a loose moist crumb, and uses a lot of oil (sunflower or safflower). Baked in an 8x8” or 9x9” square pan, it rises quite high. Still a family favourite though.

1 cup safflower oil 1 cup white sugar 3 large eggs

  1. Beat together, adding sugar into oil, then one egg at a time.

1 1/3 cup flour 1 1/3 tsp baking powder 1 1/3 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  1. Sift the dry ingredients and add, in bit by bit to the rest. Beat.

1/2 cup chopped walnuts tossed in 1-2 tablespoons flour 2 cups finely grated carrots

  1. Add in the walnuts (if desired) and grated carrots.

  2. Beat well.

5). Bake approximately 1 hour at 300 degrees F.

Use cream cheese icing.

Cream Cheese Icing recipe

1 cup icing sugar* 1 tablespoon butter 1 tsp vanilla 4 oz cream cheese **

  • icing sugar is a powdered white sugar mixed with a small amount of finely ground starch, usually corn starch or potato starch. It’s just a few % by weight so that a teaspoon starch per cup of powdered sugar should do it.

**The cream cheese icing recipe states ‘Philadelphia’ brand, but it’s not what we’ve used since the firm began to add guar and other gums. We use an all natural cream cheese from a local dairy.

 

How are folks using the decidedly beta Mlem doing?

It’s not as fully built as the developer’s demo pages would suggest.

However, it can do more than some have criticized.

It’s definitely idiosyncratic at this point.

So, I’m curious, in the spirit of assisting in getting this community going, to share what people have figured out that works.
