Just joined Lemmy today. Still getting my head around things. So here’s a gorn inspired piece I drew and posted to Pixelfed....

I found this after reading and responding to this post here about early Trek fans’ prejudicial negative reaction to TNG. One of my responses (see here) was to point out that any fans of the progressiveness of Trek ought to have been mindful of the room for improvement over TOS, with female representation being an obvious...

Looking forward to this ‘Picard’ tie-in novel telling the backstory of how Seven joined the Fenris Rangers....

Kev & Rob agree that “Subspace Rhapsody” had its charms, but didn’t quite live up to the hype, and that “Bride of Chaotica!” (VOY) is the last time going over the top into silliness was the point of an episode. Finally, as a bonus, Rob re-watched Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and was surprised by how much he...

Arrived this morning, an absolutely superb figure and likeness

A fan art sketch that I’ve been working on the past few days....

This is a great interview with some significant behind the scenes perspective, and affirmation that fan advocacy is having an impact....

For those unfamiliar, every month Simon and Schuster offers an array of Trek ebooks at a promotional discount price....

Strange New Worlds has been my favorite Trek since Next Generation, and if the quality continues, could easily be my favorite Trek ever. But with the e.p. wishing for more episodes per season, there’s a danger of diluting the show by adding weak episodes that would have never made it in a 10 episode season....

Swallow is the author of several well received Star Trek tie-in novels, both for the new shows and the Relauch novelverse (as well as for some other fandoms)....

While my preference isn’t to link to a vendor site, Round 2 (AMT’s parent) doesn’t seem to be posting these forthcoming releases on their own website yet. (Hope this is cool with community rules.) This vendor apparently saw these at a fair and booked supply. Credit to them for getting the information up....

Pretty good summary I feel of where we are up to with SNW after 2 seasons, including the commentary about how the show is handling TOS nostalgia and being prequel.

In Subspace Radio 38, Rob & Kev need a sonic shower after the slow march through the Federation-Klingon war and its ugly consequences that was “Under the Cloak of War”. Reflecting on the Federation at war, they look back at “Yesterday’s Enterprise” (TNG) and “The Siege of AR-558” (DS9).

Follow-up toot:...

I went to the Star Trek Convention last week - it was my first time there and I had a blast. Overall a great experience and it’s safe to say I have some new friends that I’m looking forward to seeing again next year. At the same time, I found all of the cash-only photos and signatures with the actors to be pretty...

The part about trek at 2:26.

David Mack, a tie-in Treklit author well known for tense drama, sometimes darker but strong portrayals of legacy characters, will be bringing us the tale of Seven’s journey to the Fenris Rangers. Mack’s consistently been nominated for the award for best genre fiction tie-in novels, and has recently won. He seems to be...
