If you fell in love with the song at the end of #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy, like I did, it's "Beautiful Child" by Rufus Wainwright.
Rufus also sang the vocals to "San Francisco" in the series premiere

The great taste of being at a strip club in a can.

65 ph is $1.09. A tenth of what it costs at a strip club.

Picard’s 48% RT Star Trek Movie Awkwardly Ignores Kirk’s Death In Deleted Scene A Klingon joke?

I'd never seen this deleted scene from #StarTrek Generations, and maybe you haven't either. It was wise to cut it.

Greg Brady became Sam the butcher's delivery boy, after school and all day Saturday for $1.50 an hour. That's good money, equal to $12 an hour today. 25 hours at $1.50 is $37.50 in 1971. $12 an hour is $300 a week today. All Greg wanted was to buy a used surfboard.

Jonathan Frakes’ Final Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode Is A Misunderstood Gem "A Space Adventure Hour" deserves another look.
