Part of me wants to buy/borrow the Lower Decks DVDs just so I can get better screen rips on Memory Alpha.

Then again, I also kind of want to fork Memory Alpha because at this point, you basically can’t use Fandom without an ad blocked.

But that’s such a huge undertaking because I’d have to find hosting, import the large database dump (getting it, or at least a version from late May, isn’t so hard - just check Special:Statistics), delete what I don’t need, fix/rebuild templates, replace images, check tens of thousands of pages, remove Memory Alpha administrative pages) get the word out, etcetera.

It’d almost be awesome if it were a .website project, but even if it ever got off the ground, I’d worry the traffic might be unsustainable.

Depends. SNW retconned it and said the Temporal Cold War pushed it up.

Let’s transporter clone, Genesis planet, Black Mountain etcetera George Samuel so he can live past 2267.

Now the epic one is Gargoyles, where many Trek actors are in it (including Mulgrew, Spiner, Dorn, and Brooks).

Two of the main villains are played by (and they work together sometimes), weirdly enough, Frakes and Sirtis.

There’s an episode where Frakes’ character is out of jail and threatens revenge upon the main characters, and one responds, “With you and what Starfleet?”

I can at least hope Tawny Newsome's comedy will go well.

It depends. Prodigy, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds are all great (the former two take a moment to get into their element, though).

Probably watch 10 episodes of Prodigy before making your verdict, and probably through the first few episodes of season 2 for Lower Decks.

For Discovery, I've found it make many mistakes, but also been, it's been fun at times. I've only watched through part of season 4.

Spock has occasionally made jokes, and at least in the presence of a certain Richard Milhous Nixon, is a smoker.

My high school history teacher had that as a poster on her wall.

I met someone who actually got into TNG because of Lower Decks.

I find that I’ll do the bare minimum in GIMP (like that one healing extension), and then I’ll copy what I have over to Inkscape to do the rest.

I’m just the tiniest bit mad because someone gifted me the 1st edition last Christmas right before the new one. My main hope is the 2nd edition explains the rules better. I did notice better explanations in the quick start guide Modiphius has on their website and hope for the same in the book.

I’ve heard of people coercing even my graphics card, an RX 580. However, I avoid generative AI for ethical reasons and also because Microsoft is trying to shove it down my throat. I really hope that copyright law prevails and that companies will have to be much more careful with what they include in their datasets.

On a random note, I once talked about Firefox with a friend, and he texted me a few weeks later about trying it. More successful than my Linux spreading, although part of it was he used a Surface and having gone through the pain on my Surface Go myself, I wasn’t sure I could impart that suffering to someone else.
