Somehow they turned the beginning sequence of gay orgy porn into this.

Also I really hate Counselor Cambridge. I really hope he dies soon. He’s such a selfish ass. Seven belongs with Raffi in every timeline.

Also it’s interesting how the Doctor deals with emotional pain and how his memories never fade by having the emotions and memories suppressed or muted in this novel versus how he dealt with it in the Academy. Either way it’s not easy being a near immortal sapient computer program.

Finished reading Kirsten Beyer’s Star Trek Voyager novel Protectors. Great continuation of the VOY relaunch novel. It’s very character driven. Beyer doesn’t simply resurrect Janeway and then let everyone go back to the status quo of the series. Nope. Things can’t be the exactly as they were.

Perhaps they don’t have money for a laptop, though some laptops are cheaper than the phones they are using. But ultimately they view a college degree as merely a credential or just checking the box, and universities have encouraged this attitude. Thus it should be easy & accessible on their phones.

So I guess some of my online students are attempting complete their online courses entirely on their phones. No wonder they are using AI. It’s difficult to write a paper on a phone.

Good news Trek Lit Fans:

There is going to be a new TOS Novel by David Mack at the end of the year: Echoes in Eternity.

The description makes it sound like one of those classic giant Trek novels. I’m looking forward to reading it.

I even found something to like in Section 31, though I haven’t rewatched it.

Spoiler Free #StarfleetAcademy Reaction.

I enjoyed it. It had action but it didn’t forget the emotional heart of the show. If this had been the season finale and not the first in a two parter, I would have been pissed.

RIP Mr. Duck.

An owl or a hawk got him. Went outside this morning to discover his body.

I had him for a year and half.

If things keep on going like this, by the end of decade, I will using only a typewriter as well as pen & paper and communicating by carrier pigeon. Or least I will go back to using a β€œdumb phone” if not a landline.

You’re trapped in the last tv show you watched, where are you?

Stargate SG-1

It was the two-parter in which the SG-1 team go to Sokar’s hellish moon of Ne’tu to rescue Sam’s dad. So I’m literally trapped in hell. That’s pretty accurate.

I started using Libib to keep track of what Trek books I already have. Otherwise I would probably end up with three copies of everything.

It’s always a most pleasant surprise here in Alabama when I meet old white people who turn out to be very progressive and hate Trump, MAGA, and all that shit. They tend to use a lot of colorful metaphors.

It seems extremely unlikely that Paramount would ever do that.

It’s fortunate that these boys are unlikely to procreate, though they probably refer to themselves as β€œhigh-value men.”

I encourage my students to send me a draft of their final essay for feedback. Two students have sent me drafts. Both drafts are AI generated.
