"Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.” -- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time One of the most powerful lines in all of literature.

And, with his Bajoran wife, he revolutionized Ferenginar as Grand Nagus. He pretended to be the halfwit husband but the whole thing was strategic (it was nice to see them on Lower Decks). Fuckin' cool.

He was a Union Man!

Rom is really something, isn't he? I love his character a ton.

I think they specifically anticipated that problem; you definitely weren't wrong. Moving Federation HQ to Betazed helps even more

If TOS was Roddenberry's Wagon Train to the Stars, and DS9 became Gunsmoke, where the stories came to them, Academy is Bonanza, which is about family. Still Westerns :-)

Now you can binge the whole thing which... might not be the best way to watch it; maybe.

Anyway, I hope you love it. I sure did, and I'm looking forward to Season 2!

Oh, the people I knew at the time who refused to watch it because it was "just wrong" to have a Klingon in Starfleet, much less on the bridge.

It wasn't real Star Trek; Klingons were our mortal enemies.

The stories move along and you can still watch whatever Star Trek you want to watch.

I misremembered... It's just the two, total. Sorry.

I noticed one myself and saw others pointed out. One is fun, two seem like it means something, but I can't think what it'd mean. Pelia was a companion, apparently, but not one we know? Will she disappear one day and that's the explanation? Anyway, it was cool to see the TARDIS and the Enterprise.

The PS was so sweet and sad, but Rory and Amy had a good life in NY in this non-canon version.

I'm a fan of all of the new Treks. SNW is a delight, I think. I'm sad that our next episode is SFA is the last of the season.

But, yes, Strange New Worlds?

See, that makes sense. River even wrote the book.

I mean, Brian only found out late about their adventures but having a granddaughter is important news once he found out.

A Brian/River scene where he learns from her? I'd *still* be crying.

So... I have a #DoctorWho question for y'all.

I just watched the little BBC PS about Rory sending Brian a letter from the past to let him know what happened and offer a sweet coda. But what about River? Did Brian ever meet River or know she was his granddaughter??

Happy Birthday to the wonderful River Song, aka Alex Kingston

Can’t believe it’s nearly been 4 years since this photo! Loved watching you on the Dancing each week and always got a vote from us!

There was a show just waiting for greenlighting but this is really the result of the uncertainly surrounding the Skydance acquisition. Good Lord Willin' and the crick don't rise, David Ellison is telling the truth about how much he loves Star Trek.

Probably not and I'm being calm for nothing.

Garak is the most interesting character in all of Star Trek. He's my favorite. I hope he finds out about Dukat's end.

They workshop jokes with regular crooks and.. well.... Kite Man... until the barb is ready for a Ventriloquist or Riddler. The Penguin if you're feeling up to it.

I've been irradiating bats and after 83 biting incidents, I'm still normal. I'm a traditional man so I'm gonna keep going.

They're apparently attending tonight, just so Speaker Youth Pastor Mike doesn't forget them.

I'm starting to wonder what kind of porn he and his son completely don't watch.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

On threads the other day, someone asked if someone would go to the White House if Trump asked them to dinner. Lori Petty responded "I'VE HAD A GOOD LIFE" which made me bark-laugh and adore her even more.

She was brilliant in this episode; she and Russ really elevated the whole thing together.

Hey, how's Ol' Ro? Anyone heard from her? Oh.

When I was in college, my theatre history textbook (the Brockett) had a picture of a product of a Brecht play with Lloyd in it.

They could've had a great B-story arc. Jadzia sends Worf and Odo into a holodeck mystery. They both think it's ridiculous until they stumble over a flesh and bone body.

Looks like it. She's gonna wonder where the hell he went. Small wonder the Temporal Police had their knickers in a twist.
