Just learnt from the radio that the words at the end of Mr Blue Sky are 'Please turn me over' because Jeff Lynd thought that people wouldn't flip the record

A grassy yard, with long ditch dug out (bad!) and the saucer section of the NCC-1701-D placed to replicate the crash landing from Star Trek: Generations. Top center in the back is a mural of a deer overlooking the yard. Yes, it's super cool.

I'm happy I finally have time time to feature the "Tales from the Frontier" comic, seen in #StarfleetAcademy's "Come, Let's Away".😊 I have assembled all the pages seen in the episode but as a special gift, here's the cover and back page of the comic, provided to me by its designer: Stu Pearce! 🧡 1/4

The Future of 'Star Trek' Comics Is Ready for a New Next Generation (Exclusive) Welcome Captain Seven of Nine aboard the 'Enterprise' with IDW's new 'Star Trek' comic.

At last I can talk about it! I'm writing a Star Trek comic!!!!

All I can tell you right now is it takes place several years after the end of Picard. And it stars Captain Raffi Musiker working with a giant positronic brain to protect the Federation from future threats!

Four panels that show a woman gradually transforming into a pirate in each panel new restrictions to her streaming service are listed such as this streaming service will now have ads. This show isn't available on this streaming service. This show is only available for rent or purchase this show requires an add-on subscription. Gradually the woman goes from looking like a regular person then she has an eyepatch the next panel she has a pirates shirt and jacket the last panel. She has a pirate hat.
