"Let's see what's out there..." It was 38 years ago today (Sept 28, 1987) that "Encounter at Farpoint" had its premiere broadcast, introducing Capt Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D. I'm proud to have been a member of the team who made the show at Paramount.

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

Comic with Miles O'Brien and Keiko O'Brien from Star Trek facing each other indoors. Keiko, labeled “Me,” looks concerned and is holding the shoulder of Miles on the left, labeled “Also me.” A large speech bubble from Keiko reads, “PLEASE DON’T BRING UP STAR TREK IN EVERY CONVERSATION WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR FRIENDS.” Miles responds in a smaller speech bubble, “WORF IS MY FRIEND.”

BTW - we're still working on recording episodes for the seventh season of TNG. Life has been getting in the way so we're trying to build a bank of recordings to deliver an episode each week once we start publishing. This image below is a live shot of us editing audio ...

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Close up on a bewildered/pained/very out of sorts Riker face. Someone is holding his jaw in place with one hand and in the other is a medical tool or something, with a long pink glowing laser light being shot directly to his temple. No caption.

Board games I think Star Trek: the Next Generation characters play, based on vibes, in no particular order.
#StarTrek #BoardGame

Worf plays King of Tokyo
• Shows how much pain he can endure
• Opportunity to say catch phrase
• No bluffing

Note DS9 Worf is a bit different, but that's another thread.

Worf undergoing the second right of Klingon ascension in TNG "The Icarus Factor." He's being mercilessly jabbed by two pain sticks, much like the merciless whims of fate in King of Tokyo.

Cover of King of Tokyo by Richard Garfield, published by Iello.
