[Poll of the Week: Wondrous with Treasures to Satiate]

I really enjoyed the episodes that delved into the human nature and the human psyche. What happens when all our needs are met (post-scarcity world) and we shift from surviving to thriving. 

[Poll of the Week: Exploring New Genres And Boldly Going Where No Trek Show Has Gone Before]

@Thalas th’Koro that would be amazing! I like to imagine it would be like the Even Stevens musical episode. 

I like the idea of both Starfleet Horror Story and Starfleet HQ. Though I'd also be very interested in a Star Trek Firefly that would focus on a freighter like the SS Xhosa, making deals with Orion Syndicate types, dive bars, cargo runs, dealing with people like those in TNG "Gambit", Maquis, etc.

I just watched the first episode and it's definitely something. I'm feeling this show is best to watch as if it were a parody and not taken seriously. When I first saw the trailers, I was going on the assumption that the junior officers were the ones that being hellraisers and didn't act as an officer should. But after what I just saw, even the senior crew are just as incompetent. No First Officer wouldn't get something checked out like a bite from a different planet. Plus, the episode's meaning is more or less about the senior officers only getting recognition for other people's work which I've never seen that kind of attitude in other Trek series.   

I agree it's nothing to be taken too seriously. I did enjoy it more than a lot of the other newer movies and series. I liked how they took a lot of inspiration for the sound and visual design from 90s Trek. That was nice. It was a nice little romp.

@Blaidd Vescori Those strengths sound just like you play him. Seems pretty accurate!

[Poll of the Week: Make It So?]

I'm excited to check it out but I'm keeping my expectations low. There were elements of the trailer that I wasn't exactly thrilled about, but at the very least we're finally moving forward in the timeline so maybe they'll stop retconning and rebooting everything and actually follow canon. I am looking forward to more possible appearances from other TNG/DS9/VOY characters. It would be fun to see where they take their characters (though also potentially frustrating).

[Lower Decks (TNG) is a great episode]

I agree.

Voyager's Good Shepherd (6x20) has a similar vibe that I like a lot. 

[Holo'd Halls]

Voyager's Polynesian Resort  

[Cloaked Intentions]

I agree with Tu'Peq. The Federation is all about peaceful exploration and diplomacy. Transparency is the best way to signal that their intentions are peaceful and that they have nothing to hide. Cloaking technology would undermine the way that they want to be perceived. The Federation should study cloaking technologies in order to better detect and defend against potential aggressors, but cloaking devices shouldn't be standard equipment. 

[Who Would You Draft?]

Chakotay! 

[Poll of the Week: On Tap]

For me the writer, I think I would enjoy the mess hall on Voyager and Ten Forward the most. Both have a chef or bartender that you can create a long term relationship with (you can be a "regular") and you have your colleagues and Starfleet friends to socialize with (so a much more peaceful, controlled environment). I have the feeling that Quarks would be too loud (and possibly dangerous) for me.

Life is good. Just finished a mission and promotions. I can't wait for the next mission to start

[Graduating Class of 238607.11]

How is everyone doing?

[Graduating Class of 238607.11]

Hi!

The Tiger is a great ship and it has a fun crew.

Sakara and Sasak haven't had a chance yet because they are both in the middle of missions right now, but once they have a chance they will communicate.
