@nocontexttrek Small correction to you Alt text. That is not a communicator Worf is looking at. It is the Nagus's beetle snuff.

Another album released Friday, also from , is Julius Asal's Scriabin – Scarlatti, which seems to have some good reviews, but perhaps I will have to listen to it a couple of times to see it? Asal seems like a competent pianist, yes, but not "uncommon."

As I listen further to Julius Asal's Scriabin – Scarlatti, it really does show potential. I don't think he is there yet, but the potential is there. He should still be an understudy.

Ah, Julius Asal is 27. Much older than he looks. I don't imagine many of the great teachers in Europe are going to take a 27 year old under their wings. He's just been thrown out there like it or not with the skill-set he has now. That perhaps happens too often. Still, he landed a great record deal. Perhaps I am at fault and I just don't hear it.

Here is it. Aside fro Tuvok's ridiculous quick recovery from burning from the inside out, Tanis is like, "Bring the fire!" and how is that not a cringe moment? Why burn plants as a demonstration of power? Ugh. @allstartrek

@allstartrek "When you are ready, Suspiria will embrace you" - this Caretaker cult reminds me of the episode, "Covenant" with Dukat as the cult leader.

Just like "the void" this is the one of two episodes where they use the term "planet hell."

Now, after all that seriousness we get to see Neelix and Paris get a little baby time in.

How producers figured out Vic Fontaine would work in Star Trek, and in the middle of the Dominion War, no less, was a minor miracle.

won’t save the planet: Review of The Price is Wrong: why capitalism won’t save the planet by Brett Christophers.

https://theecologist.org/2024/may/03/capitalism-wont-save-planet

"Despite all this, renewable electricity generation is expanding. Christophers forensically dissects the economics, showing that 'market forces' have played little or no part in this."

Buy My Book

https://www.anticapitalism.blog/buy-my-book/

Hello, I have a PhD from Very Good University, Inc. I studied society and culture. Please buy my book on anti-capitalist ethics. Only $29.95. Act now. Look, I don’t know if this will go into a second printing so I really, really need you to buy it now. I need a new car to contribute my part to ecological collapse.

This episode is another good example of why Paris should be restricted to quarters when not on duty.

How is Kirk giving a log about feeling helpless in the middle being helpless?

It's been a long time since I have seen this, and there may be other episodes, but this TOS ep seems like a pretty good early model for the Department of Temporal Investigations.

James Darren is still around and still going to conferences last I heard. Had a few scares in recent years, like when he caught covid at the height of the pandemic.

"His Way" could have just as easily been titled, "His Hands." I wonder whose idea it was to have Odo keep staring at his hands like he just realized he had them. I am pretty sure a changeling knows what hands are for.
