I was really worried before this episode that Gamble was not given a spoken name… AND I WAS 100% JUSTIFIED!

What the fuck is wrong with you? Dead gagh? Really?! This looks as disgusting as Neelix’s replicated gagh.

Alive gagh only.

I corrected that. EHK. Emergency Harry Kim.

I don’t know. This was at Voodoo Lounge.

Someone did a full body Orion in a Vegas showgirl outfit.

I have actually seen zero so far, but it is only day two. One Tendi.

Eugene Cordero gave me a jab about my cosplay when I asked him a question at the Lower Decks panel.

I’m not a filthy blue Orion.

This was the coffee I found for my trip.

I actually measure my caffeine and water intake (from all beverages). Currently for 2025 my daily average is 10.9 oz.

I don’t drink a lot but I am picky. I only consume specialty (which is coffee graded on a 0-100 point scale; 80 points and above is called speciality). I brewed cold brew for my STLV trip. So I have ~50 oz of cold brew concentrate for the whole week.

Overall I care more about the beverage I am drinking and how I drink it (my daily driver is a Hario V60), than how much I drink.

EDIT: If you are in the U.S., I recommend the subscription service Mistobox. That is where I get my coffee.

 
 

Spoilers for “Subspace Rhapsody” (Strange New Worlds season 2 episode 9)

This question is 100% hypothetical. Would the episode have the same plot if Spock at completed kolinahr at this point in his life?

 
 

Hi there. I just wanted to discuss something positive and uplifting. As we surely all know, Star Trek has a very big fandom that is super inclusive and positive (for the most part). Had a thought that for many fans, their passion is life-long. Maybe it would be nice to share a positive memory (maybe a few) you associate with Trek; whatever you are comfortable sharing. I kick it off (my list is chronological).

  1. Getting to go on The Klingon Encounter at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a family trip, I was seven (I recently found out I was off by year) in 1998. My grandfather was working at the time for a Chinese apparel brand. He took us to an industry convention he was attending for work. So my mom took me to the Hilton. There was walls of Borg statues, actors dressed as Klingons walking the casino. Only got to go on The Klingon Encounter, a Star Tours style ride. The premise is an entertainment experience with live actors which you are mysteriously transported to the future where you switch places with Picard. Klingons are behind it. They believe your group has an ancestor among you. You head to a transporter to escape to a shuttlecraft, and flee the Klingons. The chase eventually leads you over The Las Vegas Strip. The ride also included pre-recorded video from TNG cast as part of the story.

  2. Watching ENT when it first broadcast. I was ten years old. As an aside, I’ve always lived with my maternal grandparents. Anyways, my grandfather was excited for it. He let me stay up late on Wednesdays to watch with him. It was the first series (pretty much the only from start to end) I watched first broadcast. Watched every episode with him.

  3. Finally going to my first convention, STLV (formerly Star Trek Las Vegas) this year. Such an incredible four days that I can never forget. Getting to see the community up close changes how important this means. Everyone was such wonderful people. The one public event I’ve attended in my life where I felt truly accepted and safe.

 
 

Did writers forget about “Barge of the Dead” in season 7? During “Imperfection”, Seven ask B’Elanna if she believes in afterlife. Her response is ‘I hope so.

She literally went to hell and back. How does that not make her believe in it?
