(Lower Decks is amazing and if you're anti-cartoon just give it a chance friendo) We see Boiler and another older Starfleet officer standing against a rock wll, with green air up to their necks, like they're standing in swampy or poisonous air. Boims, as per usual, looks verklempt while older fella explains something holding his PADD. Closed caption reads, "Watch out, giant ham sandwich incoming."

Movies can tell us a lot about what scares us. And ever since the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the fear of nuclear war has reverberated across decades of film.

Some of the very best in all Trekdom. Also appeared as a crewman in ST II. James left us much too soon. R.I.P. #TOSSatNight

As always, remember that the episodes reflected in the collage here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" portion of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.
NEW! It’s a topic you're only going to hear on TrekRanks! We are breaking down the “Top 5 Five-Minute Characters” – a celebration of your favorites who appeared in maybe only 1 or 2 scenes for no more than five minutes. This one is a classic. Who's on your list?

Text reads: "We recently made a coding mistake on our Constitution Annotated website while attempting to add new, expert legal analysis of some of the latest Supreme Court decisions to the page. This human error temporarily deleted parts of the Constitution from the website, which we know greatly upset many of you. Needless to say, a mistake on a website does not change the law. But in the interest of broadening access to a version of the U.S. Constitution that is not subject to coding errors, we will be passing out free, physical copies of the Constitution at this week’s Live! at the Library (while supplies last), and at the National Book Festival next month."
