  • In the preview of the ships, it claims they models are based on what was seen in the remaster of “The Tholian Web”, but the models shown look more like a Tholian carrier from STO. I’m assuming that what’s in the preview is just the fleet tokens – for anyone who hasn’t played the game, each faction has three larger fleet tokens which indicate a number of their base ships, usually with some unique ability for each fleet – and their base ships will look like what was seen in the show.

    Also, one more faction to go. I’m going to bet Orions, but I’d love it if they did a Terran Empire expansion introducing the mirror universe to the game.





  • B’Elanna had an experience, that at the time she very strongly believed to be real, but she’s also a person of science. I feel like it would be out of character for her to not have some questions, even after her journey to Gre’thor.

    In “Tapestry”, when Q tells him, “I told you. You’re dead. This is the afterlife, and I’m God,” what is Picard’s response? “You are not God.”

    B’Elanna’s in a similar situation. She’s informed that she’s on the barge of the dead, but is that necessarily divine? Perhaps Gre’thor is an alternate dimension, or something like inside of the Nexus. Fek’lhr could be a powerful being, not wholly dissimilar from Q. In “Homefront”, Worf claims that Klingons killed their gods for being “more trouble than they were worth,” perhaps that was more than just Klingon myth. We know that aliens visited Earth and were perceived to be deities. The Greek pantheon in “Who Mourns for Adonias”, Kukulkan was believed to be the Quetzalcoatl as per “How Sharper than a Serpent’s Tooth”, and even Satan from Christian mythology was the being Lucien depicted in “The Magicks of Megas-Tu”.

    Given everything B’Elanna should be aware of regarding the nature of the galaxy, blind faith in an afterlife, even one she’s ostensibly experienced first hand, does seem like a big ask.





















  • Now now, let’s not be normative about the speed of facial hair growth. Some people take longer filling in their mustache and beards than others, and this could easily be something like 17 days if Boimler has particularly slow and/or sparse facial hair.

    I would agree with you, if not for the fact that we’ve already seen Boimler’s facial hair potential in Beardler. Unless that alternate universe iteration of Boimler was using some sort artificial hair growth enhancement, it was naturally quite full, which would indicate to me that prime universe Boimler has that same potential.






  • The scene of Georgiou being recruited on Qo’noS by Leland was a deleted scene from Disco season one, so canonically, Georgiou wasn’t not running that bar/drug den/brothel in the Orion district. Still, it kinda bumps me that they’re revisiting the idea of her being recruited by S31 while operating some sort of drinking establishment.

    Maybe they can delve into Philipa’s backstory about always having wanted to run a little hole in the wall, and just fell into being the despotic emperor of the horniest fascist galactic state.
