My mother and grandmother were part of the letter writing campaign that saved Star Trek TOS. This photo was a thank you from the Star Trek folks and is an heirloom of my house.

Artwork for the 220th episode of TrekRanks featuring "Abstract L." Images include the TrekRanks logo in the upper left corner and an aerial view of the USS Lakota in DS9's "Paradise Lost" in the upper right corner. Across the middle from left to right are a couple of "losers" from "Tear of the Prophets," a Lysarrian Desert Larvae from "Similitude" and pieces of Lore's body from "Datalore.

As always, to keep you guessing, remember that the episodes reflected in photos here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" section of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.

NEW: It’s another β€œeverything goes” abstract topic on TrekRanks as we tackle β€œAbstract L,” linking & labeling luminous locations & lightships of all sorts that randomly begin w/ the letter L. It's TrekRanks at its abstract best! Anything could be on these lists!

Frodo wakes. β€˜Where am I?’

β€˜In the House of Elrond. It is ten o’clock in the morning. The morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’

β€˜Gandalf!’

β€˜Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’

ICYMI! If you only ever listen to one episode of TrekRanks, this is a pretty good place to start! The "Top 5 Games and Gaming References" and it's one of the most fun episodes we've done in a while. Just four Trek friends sharing what they love about #StarTrek.

Garry Starr: Classic Penguins Book Choir of Man tickets 8 weeks in advance with code EARLYBIRD10 and save Β£10

I saw this in Edinburgh (with @doublemacc.bsky.social) during the festival.

I have never seen or experienced anything like it.

Less a comedy show, and some sort of cathartic communal experience (with nakedness).

Not for the faint-hearted or squeamish.

Sean Hargreaves just uploaded some intriguing concept art for a cancelled Star Trek project to his portfolio. No other information is given, but most of it features designs for a Starfleet assembly building.
