Hi Karim! You are such a joy to watch on screen and behind the scenes :) Your posts and those from the rest of the cast have added so much enjoyment to the starfleet academy experience. I know we have seen some of Jay-Den's backstory already, but I wanted to know if you had any headcanons about his childhood/adolescence. For example: my aunt told me a story about how when she was a girl, she kept a chicken as a pet, but when she wasn't home, my great grandma ended up giving the chicken some alcohol before cutting off it's head and cooking it for dinner. When my aunt found out what the meal in front of her was she cried. My headcanon is that something like that happened to Jay-Den :']
Cool! Didn't know about this new show. Defenitely will watch it.
Thanks for doing this, so cool!
Hello Karim, what are you most recommended/most stay-away-from-this experiences in Toronto (and area) so far?
Oh wow, I didn't know this corner of the internet got AMA's. 8O
Late to the party and not really a star trek fan, but still, good on Karim for popping by! 🤗
Hi Karim, nice to have you here.
Do you think, that given the current state of our world, the 32. century is more accessible than the 24. century, since society has to rebuild after the burn and seems to have lost some of its previous values along the way?
Hey! I think your acting is one of the best parts of the show. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Thanks for all the hard work on the new show! 🖖
Hi Karim! I am absolutely adoring Jay-Den's character. If you're able to discuss it are there plans for his triangle with Darem and Kyle? I might've fangirled a wee bit hard this last episode with all the teasers being dropped XD
What do you think of Discovery Klingons? It seems like they came and went with little explanation, while the early TOS human-looking Klingons did get an explanation in canon eventually.
Thanks for doing this here instead of corporate social media.
adding to this question, of all the different versions of Klingons we have seen so far, in which other costuming and prosthetics would you like to perform?
