We had seen Garak already, depending on how you would classify him.

Now I need to see that episode again! I remember that episode really standing out to me when I was first watching the show, I think I rewatched it in the next day or two.

While I knew we would be seeing Spock, I was also hoping there would be fewer established TOS characters. As you said though, the plan seems to be working so far. I've definitely been enjoying it!

I'm sure they've thought about switching over, whether as a continuation of TOS or telling new stories mixed in with it. I would still watch if they kept it fairly similar, as I like the cast they've put together.

I would prefer to see them tell new stories in a new era with a new ship and a new crew though. However, if they decided to continue in the same era, I personally would like to see a La'an led show. It could run alongside the TOS continuity, so they could even add in those appearances by Kirk and Spock that you know they would want to do. They didn't ask me to pitch for them though, so I doubt it'll happen! :)

I'm happy to see they won! It's amazing how low Nintendo can go.

Bans in March 2023

More bans Aug. 2023

Some bans reversed

If I remember right, about a year ago they were banning a lot of Linux players. It might be happening again.

It's sad seeing some of the actors starting to pass. He was a highlight for me too. I had mentioned on a comment a while back that his song playing right after Nog lost his leg was one of my favorite uses of music in Star Trek. The follow-up episode is also one I've watched many times. A lot of good memories.

You'll be missed Vic.

I primarily prefer it because it does pretty much all the Minecraft stuff I want it to do, and it's got other games available as well. Plus, completely Linux compatible and no Microsoft account!

Blue Origin needs to get a viable alternative flying before they start trying to take down the competition!

Lower Decks!

Check out Ventoy! Unless you need a single ISO on the drive, it's just something you install to it and then copy and paste ISOs to the folder on it. No flashing needed, it runs them for you. I've got 128GB drives almost filled with every ISO I could possibly want.
