The specific point of divergence was shown in Star Trek 2009, otherwise it’s a real reboot and offside the television franchise.

But TrekMovie has one with the Breen that’s not on the StarTrek.com official site.

Seems like a quality control issue in sending out the embargoed emails.

The Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library doesn’t seem open to the public all the time, but it does have events it seems.

Also it has participated in Doors Open Ontario which is an annual event for a few days in May, when many publicly funded or non-profit buildings that usually have restricted admittance, are open for viewing.

Yes please!!!!

I have absolutely been waiting for this to be released to Steam.

Finding games that I can share with our teens on Steam is challenging but important for keeping connected. So, we’re often looking for games that appeal to more than one of us. When we buy it’s 2, 3 or 4 keys. Having one for free to start would be great.

Resurgence really looks to offer the kind of role playing that makes sharing the journey in parallel fun.

These are lovely and something a child might actually play with.

Not everything should or needs to be for collectors.

On the other hand, making preschool toys for show that was in the air more than a half century ago is bizarre. I would have loved these as a small child in the 1960s but the the toys should reflect a show kids would actually be watching now.

The whole run is less than 8 hours total, and there’s several episodes in there that really bridge between TOS and the movies and TNG, even if they’ve been cut down for the format.

But here are a few other suggestions…

‘The Slaver Weapon’ was written by Larry Niven himself, adapting his story ‘The Soft Weapon’, and making Kzinti a Star Trek canon species.

‘The Practical Joker’ gives us the holographic simulator in the Rec Room, and the first ‘space anomaly leads to computer misfunctions and Holodeck insanity’

‘Mudd’s Passion’ gives us Scotty and the Caitain second Communications Officer Lt M’Ress in an unintended romantic twist.

Uhura gets command in ‘The Lorelei Signal.’

‘More Tribbles, More Troubles’ is an essential part of Tribble lore.

‘The Time Trap’ and ‘The Jihad’ are great for showing off a wider range of sentient species.

Sounds like you just haven’t been aware of what she’s been in.

She had a Best-supporting actress Oscar nomination in 2004 for ‘The House of Sand and Fog’ and Primetime Emmy win in 2009 for Outstanding Actress in a miniseries or movie.

It’s more the case that , as for Michelle Yeoh, older women seem to get meatier roles in science fiction and fantasy than in mainstream or art house productions.

I would love to see Shorleh come over to the Trek franchise in a worthy role. I can definitely see her standing out in the 25th century.

The article suggests that the environment plays a significant role in gasturlation, especially the chemistry.

If identical twins develop in the same uterine environment, there would be greater likelihood of the same genes expressing.

I’m still seeing this as an active posting, linked on other UN pages e.g.,

However, a similar claim in January was found to be false by fact checking news orgs.

So the childhood favourite ‘Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh’ was onto something.

Well there’s that too.

Gene found it totally cool for previously unmentioned immediate family to show up out of the blue, but fans can’t help going into spasms when things not previously mentioned show up.

A lot of what fans think is canon just isn’t anyway. Most so-called ‘violations’ are just different interpretations of what was shown on screen decades ago.

There’s an entire list out there of all the headcanon that fans hold up that just isn’t supported by what’s on screen.

Writers shouldn’t be held to fan interpretations of what they thought they saw in TOS or TNG.

In other words, fans who clearly live in glass canon houses shouldn’t throw stones.
