They Might Be Giants in Starfleet uniforms

“This is Dan, and that’s Dan, and there’s Marty at the helm to complete the crew. And I’m John and he is also John and all of us are wondering when you’re gonna die.”

Or Aurelan Kirk. Or Peter Kirk

Now I just envision Batman saying,”Today is a good day to die!”

Yeh. I totally could compress this to crap, but I didn't.

While certainly a weird idea, a TOS continuation series might not be so bad done right. I might love another episode where Uhura takes command, except it isn't just because all the men on the ship are under the influence of space sirens.

Overall, the idea kind of reminds me of when they considered reusing the assets of the cancelled Secret of Vulcan Fury to make a CGI TOS continuation, though it didn't work out for several reasons, I'm guessing in part because of the death of DeForest Kelley.

But honestly, I can see the sentiment of not wanting it - I think we do need a purely new Trek era, something like the mid 25th century or sometime in the 26th century.

What the heck! I might have to go for this one!

Some of them aren’t that interesting to me - I own a lot of these, but some of these I’ve wanted really bad.

Sucks there’s not the Who crossover on here, but nuts anyway.

1 "real" Robin Hood, coming right up:

(From an ep of Doctor Who, where he's TOTALLY real. ) Wink

At least they have two whole seasons to wrap stuff up and know about the end ahead of time, unlike Lower Decks, which got the memo in the middle of season development.

The problem is people commented on it already.

Although Wesley’s acceptance occurred only months after Wolf 359 - it’s possible that event caused Starfleet to more easily accept cadets (including Wesley), and just happened to benefit Nog’s chances.

The Dominion tensions around the time of Nog’s admission may have also put Starfleet on edge and caused them to continue Wolf 359 era admission policies.

The "Harry Kim" thing was mostly just a joke. I guess the more literal phrasing of my question is how did someone, over less than three years, go from seemingly severely inadequate education to being accepted into Starfleet Academy and becoming an effective officer.

I've always wondered what the proper Klingon translation of "Experience bIj" is.

The best I can come with, with my crappy understanding of Klingon and The Klingon Dictionary at my side is "bIj yIbech" ("Suffer bIj!"), but there is probably something horribly wrong with that translation. Even if nothing was grammatically wrong with it, it could be an overly literal translation.
