Star Trek

Don't count on the Deep Space Nine star angling for a Star Trek: O'Brien any time soon.

Today, Modiphius debuted a new Actual Play series for the second edition of Star Trek Adventures.

If anyone wants to get a feel for what the game is like, this is probably a good place to start.

Let me know if I missed any!

Edit: Updated Linux with Resistance, Year of Hell, and Borg Janeway

Weird. It seems like the images failed to save. So here’s the who’s who.

• Fear Slayer Hologram Janeway: From the end of VOY: The Thaw as a decoy Janeway to trick the digital embodiment of fear.
• Hologram Janeway: The one from PRO.
• Admiral “Time Travel Laws?” Janeway: The one from VOY: Endgame
• Crazy Murder Vines Janeway; From PRO: Terror Firma
• Subspace Divergence Janeway: The one that blows up her Voyager to save the other Voyager from that one organ-harvesting race in VOY: Deadlock.
• Emo Hologram Janeway: The evil act Hologram Janeway puts on for the Diviner in PRO: A Moral Star
• “But We Already Have a Janeway at Home!”: Dala, the scammer that pretends to be Janeway in VOY: Live Fast and Prosper.
• Silver Blood Janeway: The duplicate Voyager from VOY: Course: Oblivion.
• Mirror Janeway: From somewhere in PRO season 2, which I haven’t watched yet.
• Warship Janeway: From VOY: Living Witness.
• Borg Janeway: Undercover Borg Janeway in VOY: Unimatrix Zero
• French Resistance Katrine: That one time the Hirogen made the whole crew think they were holodeck characters in the WW2 French Reistance. Janeway was a bartender.
• Year of Hell Janeway: From the Year of Hell Timeline. Died almost immediately.

The official Doctor Who website has a companion piece, which has been shared here.

I’m on my umpteenth rewatch of DS9, and I"m in season 6, when it really gets goood. And, as you are all aware (It’s a fake!).

I often listen to TNG or DS9 or VOY as I know many of us do to fall asleep, but once again, I couldn’t close my eyes for “in the pale moonlight”.

I think it's a work of art on its own, but when you bring in the holier than thou morality of the federation, mixed with the horror of seeing all those names on the casualty lists, it really brings Star Trek to its knees - in, as usual, a major crisis of morality: the needs of the few, or the needs of the many?

That question of doing something bad, something that goes against one's morals, and yet will save thousands of lives of people you care about, is quintessential star trek. For me, this is when ST really gets good (and I’m a TNG zealot).

I think that I have wanted to write this on every re-watch and have never managed to do so because I’m a stupid ass dumb fucking idiot. I’m sure that many ST fans have written volumes on this very famous episode, but regardless, it deserves to be brought up over and over again, and should serve as a reminder of how incredible this episode was. This is the shit that makes ST great.

Sisko was out of options. Garak could open alternative options and Sisko asked Garak for what he needed, even if he didn’t realize it at the time. He was angry when he got what he asked for. And then…

“So I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all, I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing. A guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant, so I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.”

Even better, the episode didn’t treat us like children with showing a callback to the beginning of the episode, but I will fall on that sword… From the first scene:

GARAK: It would mean calling in all my favours, Captain. To do what you’re asking would use up every resource I have left on Cardassia. And it may be a very messy, very bloody business. Are you prepared for that?

SISKO: I posted my fourteenth casualty list this morning. I’m already involved in a very messy, very bloody business. And the only way I can see to end it is to bring the Romulans into the war. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to accomplish that goal, but I can’t do it alone. I need help. Now, are you in or out?

GARAK: I’m in.

What’s better than getting to gawp at some painstakingly recreated Star Trek ship models and sets? Getting to do that while Q himself regales you about how cool it is to do exactly that.

That’s pretty much the premise of “Return to Tomorrow,” a new video taking a look at some of the latest virtual recreations of Star Trek props, sets, and models hosted by the Roddenberry Archive. Over the past few years, the archive has worked with “holographic renderers” OTOY to create a digital Star Trek museum, painstakingly replicating sets from across the entire series, from the original Trek to contemporary shows like Discovery, Picard, and Lower Decks that people can take virtual strolls through, either online or through apps on VR headsets.

But if you just wanted to chill out and watch a video instead, this is a pretty great option, if only because you get to listen to John De Lancie, the man behind the irascible Q, poetically discuss why Star Trek design speaks to us in so many forms as it’s developed over the years.

Hi there, I'm not trying to start a political argument or anything, I'm just curious what people here think about this often repeated claim that the Federation is a socialist or even communist utopia? I know Strange New Worlds did say in dialogue it is socialist but I was wondering if people here think that's accurate? I'm not a communist or a marxist or anything like that, but I've had people who identify as such tell me the Federation basically is communist. So anyway, what's your thoughts?
