They even complained about a Klingon wearing a skirt in one group. I mean have they not even seen a Viking warrior? Or and yes I know a kilt is not a skirt but similar looking garment a Scottish warrior.

I wonder what the quote will be on the dedication plaque of the USS Athena and also hoping that Vice Admiral Gene Roddenberry was there for its launch. #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy.

This one is certainly @fionaskywalker.bsky.social approved. I never forget someone saying they went to the cinema and at the end a cinema goer piped up "I cant believe it sank" .

So the haters are already starting upset that a Klingon warrior is wearing a skirt. Well wait till they find out how Viking men dressed when they went into battle. Wonder if they think of them as "woke" fandompulse.substack.com/p/new-york-c...

Pegasus is one of my favourite TNG episodes. "I was seven months out of the academy, my head still ringing with words like duty and honour"

But the biggest Easter egg was in the first trailer. When they shout Duty Honour. Its what Riker quotes in Pegasus.

Yes Star Trek always messes up gay romance or in this case none at all but het romance its everywhere. I know some widows chose not to remarry but come on. Star Trek at some point should have given Reno a love interest.

But sadly the future of Guinness is not what it should be.

Also about the new trailer. Do we have a new candidate for a @telthetrekkie.bsky.social BOI?

Its the elephant in the room. Kurtzmans contract is up in 2026 so they have to get his stuff out in case he doesnt get a contract renewal. I am really hoping it gets renewed.
