I just finished a deep-dive guide for anyone interested in starting a Star Trek stamp collection. It’s a great hobby if you love Trek but have zero shelf space left for more statues.

A screenshot from the Voyager episode "Riddles" in which we see Neelix and Tuvok wearing aprons in the mess hall while serving desserts. At the bar by the galley, Neelix walks up behind Cookie Monster who is sitting there eating from a plate of chocolate chip cookies. Tuvok stands behind the bar, his back to us, also looking at the furry, blue Muppet.

Ulysses Paxton stands with a hypodermic needle poised over Valla Dia, who lays unconscious on an operating table. Tubes run from her arm to a device hanging from the ceiling. A large chamber in the device is filled with blood. An emaciated old man lurks behind them, fixing his goggled stare on Ulysses. The Master Mind holds a long slender blade in his hand. Through an archway on the left, a four-armed white ape enters.
