I never saw Patrick Stewart at a convention and didn't come with him into direct contact in any way when working on #StarTrekPicard but there's one Patrick Stewart/Jean-Luc Picard related achievement that only I have ever made - find proof that Patrick Stewart exists in the #StarTrek universe. 1/10

Excerpt from 'Star Trek: The Official Guide to the Animated Series'

Based on my experiences meeting other Trekkies at Phoenix Fan Fusion and Tuscon Comic Con.

Like, once you get past this part, most of the original Trekkies are fun to talk to, but combined with that subset of gen X TNG guys who talk about their college years and give you unsolicited life advice while probably a bit inebriated, you probably lose an hour at whatever convention to hearing this same flex over and over again.

Also, yes, at Fan Fusion I found out Gen Alpha Trekkies do exist; saw one wearing a DS9 uniform commenting at a panel.

Not sure how many people are gonna get this TNG / Drew Carey Show mashup, but here it is anyway.

The Voyager theme (which is objectively the best) now also got the diegetic music treatment by Auralnauts.

Here are links to the other shows:

• Star Trek: TNG Theme but the theme is coming from the Enterprise-D
• Star Trek: DS9 Theme but the theme is coming from DS9
• Star Trek: Enterprise Theme but the theme is coming from inside the Enterprise NX-01 (this is the funniest imho)

This is kind of offbeat, but if you're on a Mac it's fun to have After Dark back. And as soon as I discovered I could use this app to download the After Dark Star Trek edition from Internet Archive and have it running on my Mac, this was a must-have.
