I watched part of this 7+ hour #startrek video about the Dominion War and was curious about wtf the section "the day capitalism could have saved" was about...
...but its just a cowardly rant about how people should surrender to save lives even if it means sacrificing freedom that completely misses that if you let a hostile force run roughshod all over you, there's probably going to be more deaths from people executed and victimized by the newly created occupation authorities
"In a very real sense, we are all aliens on a strange planet. We spend most of our lives reaching out and trying to communicate. If during our whole lifetime, we could reach out and really communicate with just two people, we are indeed very fortunate."
Making my way through season 5 of #StarTrekDiscovery and this could turn out to be the most well rounded season of that show. I loved s1 a ton for its novel approach to #StarTrek. I was deeply disappointed by s2 and its nostalgia fest. I again loved s3 right up until the end but the final episode was just shite. And the reverse is true for s4 which I found mostly uninteresting until the final three episodes or so. But this right here is enjoyable all around.

Ah, the [ ]-pollen. Usually its a three-letter word with an e, an s, and an x. Sometimes it's something else that they didn't expect and why don't they wear N95s?.
The utopian vision of Star Trek which many of us aspire to was born of Veterans from WWII, who wanted to see a better world after seeing the horrors they saw.
That desire seems to have long been extinguished in many. The desire now is "ME ME ME" and look where that has got us. 😔

80 years ago today, June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver, led D Company of Royal Winnipeg Rifles ashore at Juno beach. He would be shot 6 times, survive and go on to become Scotty on Star Trek.
Every time I start to side-eye a modern Trek show about something that feels contrived, I remember that on stardate 8130.4 the USS Reliant straight rolled up on the Ceti Alpha system while somehow not noticing an ENTIRE-ASS-ASTEROID-BELT where a planet should have been…
And did so in the film that's about as foundational to Trek canon as can be had, too.
Up next I’m continuing my read through of the Pocket #StarTrekTOS novels with #83 - Heart of the Sun (1997) by Parmela Sargent and George Zebrowski #StarTrek#bookstodon
Finished Mind Meld (1997) by John Vornholt and I enjoyed it! The novel focuses on Spock and his niece Teska being pursued by Rigelian criminals.
As is clear from the cover, this book is mostly about Spock and a young Vulcan named Teska. I just wanted to clarify first that Spock is not her uncle by blood, but instead fills that role after Teska’s parents died. 1/8 #StarTrekTOS#StarTrek#bookstodon
