It’s one of the most bizarre episodes of the original Star Trek, filmed in a way that you could cut out all the Star Trek scenes and be left with a short pilot episode of this “Gary Seven” spinoff. Did it belong in the Star Trek universe? Would it have even worked?...

Really too bad. I was hopeful, but it sounds like it’s not happening.

I’ll start things off with this effects shot from Star Trek IV....

Yes, I know it’s Gene Roddenberry in our world, but in the TOS episode The Man Trap, Sulu says this to Yeoman Rand:...

Obviously the answer is “Because then the show would end” but what in universe?

I’ve been wanting this game for a while but the Playstation prices are fucking outrageous. Gonna try and grab this on sale if possible. Woo being poor. Where’s my utopia, Qdammit?

When compared to other Enterprise classes such as the Constitution, Excelsior, and Galaxy, we’ve seen a surprisingly small number of Ambassador class ships, both in terms of unique vessels and on-screen appearances. What might account for the relative dearth of these ships?

Though it makes for better TV to have Picard.

Personally the Eleventh Doctor hanging out with Picard is my #1
