It seems that the original Star Trek series predicted the future with the 'Tholian web'
Anyone attempting to take photos of the night sky now has to contend with thousands of streaks from mainly starlink satellites. 😠
(Article from spaceweather.com)

An article from spaceweather.com including an image of a comet in the night sky where the image of the comet and stars is crisscrossed with trails of satellites in an image reminiscent of a star trek episode where the enterprise is held in space by a 'web' created by aliens.

Quark: I'm not asking you to do much Worf.

A dream of mine for #StarTrek United: (refit) NX-01 shows up in a nice dramatic entry, with an instrumental of Faith of the Heart playing. At the ep's end, she gets a good exit - and now, we get the song with vocals.
Some are frustrated early, some at the end, and some (me) feel vindicated. 😉🖖

Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.

Exactly as age is just a number, rigidity is but a matter of mind over goo, uh, matter.
Nice one, as usual!

An eerie illustration showing a scene of borg drones hanging as puppets controlled by a imposing figure - tentacles and wrecked starships litter the background

He should have sent Alexander to live with Lwaxana. He would have grown up happy and gay 🤣

First Flight Podcast @firstflightpod.bsky.social · 19h

We at @firstflightpod.bsky.social endorse this sort of continuation of the Enterprise story which realizes the potential of the series as the story of building the Federation with Archer as a major architect.

Enterprise deserves its place in the franchise to expand like Prodigy did for Voyager.

“[Sussman’s] involvement suggests that this isn’t just an exercise in nostalgia — it’s a genuine continuation of Archer’s story, and of the formative years of the Federation itself.”

Enjoy your Wednesday, #StarTrek friends!
Sometimes I dream of a legacy show featuring, say, Worf's human niece from Russia. She loves her uncle dearly because he's always supported her, listened to her. "The best uncle EVER," she cheers.
While fans mentally cut to Alexander... 😉😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
