In fairness, by the end of the series she was out of his age range… 4.

Speaking as humble cop, it’s a good ticket, but the Brunt of their support comes from other Combses. The Weyou-negotiate an election needs a broader base. Look at the Agi campaign of 2020; people said after the debates Agimus-t shore up his support, instead it Shran-k. So far the Combses have run a good campaign but hardly the crème-de-la-Krem; they need to Plek-ate their critics. Anyway, I Tiron this subject, better get back to busting that sci-fi writer Benny’s chops. Yours, Officer Kevin Mulkahey

If we’re talking extinguished timelines the Year of Hell Janeway would like a word. (Unless…did you erase her for the glory of the Krenim Imperium?)

British. Specifically Scottish.

As I am not American I grew up with socialism being a positive connotation in day to day culture, so much so it’s wild to me that this needed to be veiled in Trek’s past. Star Trek should be as explicit as possible with this. “Hey, you want Utopia? This is how you earn it!”

We saw 4 minutes of Tom Paris the father!

I lost so much money in that too.

True, but also it’s the Discovery, not the Discovery A we have now.

Calypso has to be assumed to be canon to a prevented timeline (maybe one where Control won at the end of season 2 etc.)

I thought it was quite good myself; it reminded me very much of the doctor taking over Seven’s body in Body and Soul, the various crew possessions in Powerplay, and Curzon inhabiting Odo in Facets. I do enjoy getting to see an actor really chew the scenery outside the confines they have worked in before.

Not now Kesley!

“Coffee. Black.” “Make it yourself!”

What the actors knew and what the writers knew are not necessarily the same thing though. The writers could well have had a much better idea this would be the end of the road, and left them selves avenues accordingly.

Yeah, I couldn’t tell if there was some joke I wasn’t getting, but the “naming paradox” comes up a lot (and I too believed it for years) so I thought I’d add some colour anyway.

That’s a half-myth it seems. There was a write in campaign from the fans to rename the then tentatively named Constitution (in recognition of the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the US Declaration of Independence), to Enterprise. At the same time, Gerald Ford had the final say, and he himself served aboard the famous WW2 aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise (CV-6). It would appear that there is a confluence of two wishes to lead to the test vehicle being finally officially named the Enterprise. Certainly of recent years, NASA has seemed happy to not dispel that story though.

Some interesting tid-bits here though. The NCC-1701 was early on going to be named the USS Yorktown. Yorktown-class was the ship class of the CV-6 Enterprise. While we all know that the ship class of the NCC-1701 was the Constitution-class.

So, it’s my belief therefore that, in our timeline and Star Trek’s timeline, American men of a certain age seem to be obsessed with the symbolism of three particular names; and no matter what, the Shuttle would have been Enterprise in both.

Could be better on Janeway’s body, she was known for her love of good coffee after all.

Shit, I went to regular schools and still managed to major in “He-Who-Must-Suffer-nomics”.
