I just started this one yesterday. Enjoying it so far. I'm only a few chapters in, but it definitely fills in a lot of blanks from PIC S1 like "Who is Raffi and why are she and Picard suddenly BFFs?" After reading her introduction, yeah, I'd want to be best friends with her, too.

It puts so much of the first season into context that I felt was missing when I watched it.

Thanks for the recomendation.

Skip episodes become brand new episodes after enough time has passed!

They absolutely do! I was thinking that earlier. They become like your own personal "lost episodes".

VOY has, by far, the most "skip" episodes for me. Other than "Threshold", they're all Chakotay episodes (Tattoo, Nemesis, Initiations, The Fight). Don't get me wrong. I love Chakotay as a character, but Robert Beltran's wooden performance is just hard to watch when the rest of the cast isn't there to offset it.

Maybe it's because it's shorter, but I don't think there are any ENT episodes I skip (not even the finale)

Fair (counter) point. That was basically a clip show which are fair game for skips especially with home media / streaming.

Edit: Re-upload. Beltran should be facing the audience.

"Take Me Out to the Holosuite" didn't become my new favorite episode or anything, but I did enjoy it after years of skipping it because I got bored with the baseball plot the first time I saw it.

I also always skipped VOY: Initiations and had completely forgotten Aron Eisenberg was in that one until the last re-watch when I opted not to skip any episodes.

LOL. I would try, too.

In a game that's all about decision-making aboard the U.S.S. 'Voyager,' of course players are going to be asked to tackle one of the most infamous decisions made in 'Star Trek.'

Last month, we were very excited to see the announcement of Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown, a new survival game from Daedelic Entertainment and Gamexcite that tasks you with charting the U.S.S. Voyager‘s journey home from the Delta Quadrant as you repair the ship in the wake of the event that flung it 70,000 light-years across space in the first place, and make your own decisions from the captain’s chair about where to go, who to fight, and who’s on your crew.

And yes, that means you will be able to decide whether or not there is justice for Tuvix.

...

Star Trek Voyager – Across the Unknown still doesn’t have a release window, but aside from being available to wishlist on Steam for PC players, it’s now been confirmed that the game is also coming to Xbox Series X and S as well as PS5.

Edit: Me after seeing all the Robet Dalys in the comments:

I don't think I've done a re-watch of LD yet, but I tend to skip very few episodes these days and start from the beginning.

Like, I used to always skip "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" but I didn't on the last circuit. It's definitely not one of my favorites, but I did enjoy it that latest time around where I hadn't before. So now I tend to watch them all even if it's on my usual skip list.

Lol, I think that's how I learned it was possible, too. yt-dlp uses the title as the filename, and all of the emojis came along with it. Was trying to rename them from terminal, but couldn't do much when half the filenames started with the fire emoji lol.

Someone with musical talent, please start a band and name it "Lesbian Space Crimes" 😆

I've recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a ~~little~~ lot inside when I learned that.

Context: I always wondered what the mural in Quark's was. Have read through the first two books of Deep Space 9: Millennium, and the novel offers two different (non-canon) possibilities. Also, it's difficult to meme from TrekLit, but I'm trying here.

Personally, it looks more like a Tholian to me but I like the implications of the alternative.

Mild SpoilerGul Dukat procured it when he was in charge of Terok Nor. It was so large, the only place it would fit was Quark's Bar, so that's where it went. Dukat was proud of it, thinking it was a slain Tholian admiral. Rom laughs and later tells Quark it's actually a depiction of Tellarite genitalia and is used to denote pleasure houses in the red light districts of Tellar Prime. Quark doesn't know who is right, but he and Rom always salute the "Admiral" as a joke.

Duck face came to mind yesterday - randomly realized I hadn't seen duckface in the wild for a long time.

Or, alternatively, what are some old fads you wish would make a comeback?

The spirit of the question is social fads. Please try to keep replies to lighthearted things. I'll delete the post if the comments turn into political commentary.

One downside of TrekLit is, while it may inspire meme ideas, I can't just go to Trek Core to grab a still for it. Until I'm back on my regular re-watch schedule, gonna have to improvise like I'm doing here.

Also, this screenshot is from days ago, and I've since finished the trilogy. If anyone wants to discuss ST: Destiny and the origin of the [spoiler redacted], I will happily start a thread in !startrek@startrek.website

A little TNG + Eurotrip crossover.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a chronic PEBKAC is nothing and let them cross the finish line themselves.

Assuming you mean SSH for file transfer? Material Files supports SFTP, and I use it to connect via SSH to my machines to transfer files.

As long as Lennart Poettering isn't anywhere near the line of succession lol.

Can't forget its pseudo-predecessor America's Funniest Home Videos and all of the guys recording themselves getting kicked/hit in the groin to try to win $10,000.
