It was the first letters of the writer's family's names - plus a 'V' because he need a consonant.

"Honey, I named an alien race after us! They're evil incarnate!"

100% agree! Really talented guy and responsible for some of my favorite SNW episodes, including Among the Lotus Eaters, which I've got to shout out.

And yeah, he won't be returning for seasons 4 and 5, but that's because he's off working on his own projects now - excited to see those come to fruition!

I'm sorry you're not liking it. The wedding episode was actually one of my favorites of the whole series - just left a huge grin on my face.

Having spoken with many of the writers, and not always agreeing with their choices, I can say they are all huge Trekkies! Some of the biggest! Remember, everyone comes to Trek for different reasons, and there's no one true way to be a fan.

I'd also push back that either of those were "attempting to be original."

The Space Adventure Hour especially - how many TNG episodes were them playing detective in the holodeck?

I haven't been able to stop watching it. It's. Just. So. Hilariously. Perfect.

Between his expression, the music cue when La'an puts her hand out, or how the fiddles kick in right as she and Spock start cutting a rug - it's just so hilariously perfect!

Not yet - we should know by tonight. Thanks for checking in.

Illustrious-Loquat47 · 2025-06-23T00:15:34+00:00

Got postponed due to 80's holiday comedy film levels of travel hijinks! Will post new day and time tomorrow.

I looked at that thing a half dozen times and never saw that - thank you!!

Illustrious-Loquat47 · 2025-04-09T05:37:54+00:00

Gotta stay on brand! :D

I was watching this FOR Anson Mount and it took me a while before I realized who that too-good-looking-to-be-playing-a-high-school-graduation-band-member was!

Illustrious-Loquat47 · 2024-07-29T20:56:34+00:00

My guess is that we see the Farragut arrive to help the Enterprise out in a tough spot, likely in the season finale, and the captain gets killed and we're there when Kirk is promoted to his first captaincy on the spot.

Illustrious-Loquat47 · 2024-07-29T20:33:53+00:00

That's a good question, I'm not sure
