I’ve had the #Kelvinverse Enterprise-A for a while in Star Trek: Fleet Command. It’s a fun and beautiful ship. It kind of makes me wonder what another Kelvin timeline movie would look like.
“Once Laan a Time” can be regarded as an unofficial origin story for Hysperia, the Ren Faire planet from #LowerDecks. It’s easy to imagine that Pelia, having piloted the Elysian world ship to its new home and studied its engineering, would share its technology with her space hippie friends who would then go on to found Hysperia. Or maybe the Elysian world ship itself was colonized and renamed by settlers who wanted to enjoy Medieval Times 24/7. Either way it’s a nice little thread that can connect these two fun corners of the #StarTrek Universe.

It’s pretty common for detractors of franchises like #StarTrek to dismiss newer stories as “fan fiction” but “Once La’an a Time” does work on a meta level as an in-universe piece of fan-fiction. Rukiya doesn’t appear in this episode but the world we see here has clearly been changed from the world presented in “The Elysian Kingdom.” I was initially disappointed that Rukiya and Debra didn’t appear in this episode but it is interesting to how this new version of the Elysian Kingdom bears their fingerprints in the form of new characters and changes to existing characters.
I don’t have a comment, I just love this sequence and Roth/Pike’s Gollum-like reaction.

Of all the subjects of The Elysian Kingdom, few were more radically changed than Lady Audrey.

So the next episode of #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds involves the Gorn, right? It’s the only one left and they wouldn’t be prominently in the credits if they don’t appear this season.
A note for 23rd century historians: a van is like a ground based shuttlecraft but with more primitive environmental controls which made it much more vulnerable to “hotboxing.”

George R. R. Martin is right. Dragons should only have four limbs (two legs, two wings). Six limbed dragons (four legs and wings growing out of their back) look kind of derpy.

This week’s episode of #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds while very different from the #LowerDecks Crisis Point holomovies on the surface is basically the same thing - an extended high-concept therapy session. I could almost hear Mariner screaming “Therapy works!” at several points.
I’d like the Crimson Tide Blend Coffee with a teaspoon of a A Few Good Men for flavor.

Little known #StarTrek fact: the Romulan Supernova which created the Kelvin timeline also affected the Prime timeline by shunting all seatbelts off to the new universe.
This is a rerun - from 1898.
I was a big fan of Slashdot back in the day. And I still use Feedly for reading RSS today. So seeing enshittification come to RSS via a formerly beloved website makes me feel some kind of way.
