New location for on Sol 1144, RMC 52.1950.

This may be the last location visible by 's RTE camera, as the rover has now reached the theoretical limit of its field-of-view (cyan line). The has been programmed to capture one RTE image every sol for as long as it is able to wake up every sol perform its routine of gathering environmental and system data, as a stationary testbed.

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.

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

I never thought I would say this, but Andrew W.K.'s #NPR Tiny Desk Concert is actually very interesting. It is just him and an electric keyboard. Yes, he is not the most talented pianist in the world, but there are some very interesting piano compositions happening here. Some #ExperimentalMusic, Some even #ClassicalMusic, though when he starts sings his playing becomes much more simple. Still, I think you would be surprised, @classicalpiano. I was.

Listening to 's new album, The Vienna Recital, again. I really do love Yuja's playing so much.

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.

This morning I've been listing to Brad Mehldau, After Bach II.

It is very good. It gets even better as the album goes on. I will buy it eventually.

It's nice to see B'Elanna and Tom playing nice and not going after each other's throats.

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

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

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

"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.

It is hard to tell if they are still very much working on Tom's character development or if Robert Duncan McNeill had yet to get the character pinned down. He is still very excitable.

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.

In "Threshold" we see, somewhat, the things that might have been. When they were mapping out the producers had originally envisioned Tom Paris as a love interest for Captain Janeway. I can't recall if it was Jeri Taylor or Kate Mulgrew that talked them out of it, but thank the Prophets it didn't come to that. However, this episode did win an Emmy, so, maybe that's what people wanted to see? @allstartrek
