Meaning statehood only got 49.1% also you're forgetting the votes for sovereignty and free association which would make Puerto Rico an independent nation but the United States would oversee its defense provide minor financial assistance and would allow ease of travel

#StarTrekTNG "Dead End"

On a diplomatic mission, Picard discovers the remains of a secret investigation that may have ended in multiple murders. Intrigued by ancient Earth holidays, Data dresses in a striped sweater, fedora, and finger knives.

A partial clipping from an old TV Guide reads as follows:

Oh my gosh, I didn’t know my new house has a secret basement. Hey, what is this book? Who is that? Trapped spirit: Alan Rickman.

7 PM channel 13 STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION(CC)—Science Fiction; 60 min.

Josie and The Pussycats in Outer Space was a severe downgrade as the second season of Josie and The Pussycats, but it predates Katy Perry going into space by over half a century, dammit.

@gettheorion.bsky.social another reason why I love Lower Decks: it's a Star Trek version of Futurama.

I wish Star Trek was owned by someone who actually cared about it and wasn't so focused on short term goals and Star Trek needs to be on Network TV not just on a subscription service. 🖖

Star Trek fans deserve at least 20-50 new episodes a year. That means either series with more episodes, or more series in active production.

Whenever Trek is idling or stops production, it is strictly business considerations, particularly about Paramount being sold again and again.
