Either way itβs not easy being a near immortal sapient computer program.

Finished reading Kirsten Beyerβs Star Trek Voyager novel Protectors. Great continuation of the VOY relaunch novel. Itβs very character driven. Beyer doesnβt simply resurrect Janeway and then let everyone go back to the status quo of the series. Nope. Things canβt be the exactly as they were.

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.

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. Iβm looking forward to reading it.

I even found something to like in Section 31, though I havenβt rewatched it.

Spoiler Free #StarfleetAcademy Reaction.
I enjoyed it. It had action but it didnβt 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.
I'll be in my office.

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 βdumb phoneβ if not a landline.

Youβre 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 Sokarβs hellish moon of Neβtu to rescue Samβs dad. So Iβm literally trapped in hell. Thatβs pretty accurate.
Sorry there is only one Tillyverse and she is played by a real human.
