Also, I feel like an awesome Star Trek series would be a (preferably animated) semi-anthology where you have a few crews a season that then meet up in a finale subplot, sort of like taking LD:”Wej Duj” and focusing on each individual crew and culture more. My ideas are:

• “Cetacean Ops”, which would take place on the USS George and Gracie (or something), a starship (either prototype or refit) built for and staffed by aquatic/cetacean life forms, except a few engineers. Besides exploring what cetacean life style is like in the Federation and Starfleet, as well as how they avoid isolation between aquatic and non-aquatic crew.
• One that’s literally just the Archimedes from the Lower Decks Season 2 finale. I really liked that crew for some reason and want more.
• Several non-Federation species vessels, like a Ferengi starship or a post-Dominion Cardassian vessel.

Cheers, pally. And apng. Noice!

Time to make a GRF of it.

Thanks. My singular brain cell for some reason missed that button.

Thanks for keeping me in the know. 😁

I’ll check later because I’m really busy, but I think if you go a bit before or after in the episode, there’s a lamp on the wall where you say Kim 7 is.

Also, I don’t know why I said MS Paint or something - I literally used GIMP to do a circle in one of my images. I can’t believe I accidentally promoted proprietary software, when I should be promoting Ensign Kim! (Although I believe an okudagram in Prodigy that says he was a Lieutenant at the time of the show, so he really doesn’t stay an ensign forever in the Prime Timeline.)

Can you point out the Kims in the cell in MS paint or something? I’m intrigued.

P.S in a later shot, the 6 non-Lieutenant Kims count seems to be confirmed. I’ll attach it when I have time.

Wasn’t he always kind of a cartoonish mustache twirler? I mean, he basically invaded Cardassia after the manipulation of his meme-ishly large ego.

The truth is Gowron is a cartoon, and that’s why we love him.

The secret about TNG:“Cause and Effect” is that it took place on February 2nd, 2368. 😉

Debian is on the right track. XFCE might work - I remember it running pretty well on a laptop with 4 gigs.

Rom before becoming Nagus: “One day, Brother will die and I’ll get the money.”

Not necessarily - pavucontrol switched to GTK4, and there are a lot of other applications that I use that are on it as well. If XFCE stays on X11, I wouldn’t be able to run any application that updates to GTK5 (except through some hack like running Weston nested in X, which I used to do when I used Waydroid).

Stares in Debian Testing. (Though I use Bookworm on my laptop, probably soon to be Trixie. Nice thing about Trixie is I’ll no longer have to use the Backports kernel on my Thinkpad and can just stay on the LTS one.)

Let’s just hope XFCE can finish the transition before then. If not, I am not looking forward to having to shop for a new DE.

I’m not sure about NVIDIA drivers. Otherwise, it depends on what kernel your distro is using; if it’s Debian, there’s a chance you might have problems, though you could install the backports kernel, which I do on my Thinkpad E16.

I just realized. They say they’re broadcasting to the entire quadrant - but which quadrant?

Chances are they’ll do something normal and boring like the Alpha Quadrant and create a bunch of canon confusion, but it would be kind of awesome if took place in the Gamma Quadrant and looked at life in the Dominion (or post-Dominion planets) after the war.

I had no idea what Posadism was until you mentioned it. Looking at it, I think elements of it are coincidentally in there, but I don’t think that’s totally what it’s trying to convey.

For one, Boseman, Montana definitely didn’t look that socialist, and yet Cochrane developed a warp drive; it was the new connections and widened view of the galaxy that facilitated the development of socialism. Sure, the Vulcans helped, but it was humans who had to change.

Also, I feel like “aliens helping in revolution” is sort of antithetical to the concept of the Prime Directive.

Overall, I think Star Trek is less about through ufologic socialism and more about peoples figuring out socialism for themselves; space and aliens are mostly just a plot device to explore.

I think it depends. Overall, I think most of Star Trek isn’t solarpunk, but the version of earth depicted in it very much is.

Picard: “Easy come, easy go, will you let me go.” The entire cube: “We will not, no! We will not let you go.” The Enterprise: “Let him go!”

Also, reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M63GVUAGc10

They did. Also, in the Guardian of Forever’s alternate timeline in season 3, mirror Burnham successfully kills Georgiou at the cost of her own life, upon which Georgiou is returned to the prime timeline.
