What should be the plural term for The Gorn? #StarTrek #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds #STTOS #Gorn

Good question, #WilWheaton (what are plural Gorn called). A gaggle of Gorn? A flock of Gorn? A murder of Gorn? Or perhaps a Lounge of Gorn (like a Lounge of Lizards)?

When Kirk and company discover the Klingons providing arms to one side of what used to be a peaceful planet, we’re reminded of the many times the USA has gotten itself involved in wars across the globe. Is it right to step in and maintain equal firepower–and where does that end? You say Gumato, I say Mugato. Let’s call the whole thing off.

Sarah and Allie board the Magic School Bus and shrink down to microscopic size. As the bus penetrates a giant space amoeba’s boundary… actually, maybe this is all too dirty to make jokes about a kid’s TV show.

Join us as we blast some antimatter inside a nucleus. Seriously, did these writers know what they were doing?

When Allie and Sarah find themselves on a planet based on a book about 1920’s #Chicago #mobsters the episode encounters way more tangents and accents than usual. What might happen to a culture if a people came along and just dropped off a book? Ask Africa. And Haiti. And…

What's all this about "The other one?" and "Our question?" Listen to find out!

Manchester, available for adoption, is smaller than average and Willy, her host cat, is much larger than average. Manchester also goes by “Tribble,” because she makes sounds like a tribble creature from the original Star Trek TV series.

If you’re in the Austin area, you should adopt Manchester!

Has anyone ever noticed how weird it is that no one on #Starfleet carries anything in their pockets in #STTOS (excluding the movies), #TNG, #DS9, or #STVoyager? On missions they get a phaser and a tricorder and that's it? WTF is up with that?

How many episodes would have easily been solved if they were just slightly prepared? I get it's not military so they don’t have side arms but what about a flashlight? A multitool? Maybe a first aid kit when they head down to the planet?

Why isn't anyone on the bridge armed? What about engineering? The two points where someone could literally get in and either destroy or take over the ship -- and nobody is ever armed.

It's like the only standard equipment they get is the combadge and uniform. Like working at McDonalds, here's your name tag and a weird polo shirt and you're good to go. Go save the universe.

I feel like they changed the character of #Spock way too much from the original series. He seems far more emotional to me, and that lack of continuity breaks some of the immersion for me. However, everyone I've spoken to that watches #strangenewworlds doesn't seem bothered by that, and it's been a while since I've watched #theoriginalseries so I'm wondering if I'm just off?

Ok, so this post from https://mstdn.social/@SeanAloysiusOBrien@tenforward.social (and subsequent replies from https://mstdn.social/@Taweret@octodon.social et al.) got me thinking: What are the Star Trek Extended Universe versions of Chekhov's Gun?*

https://tenforward.social/@SeanAloysiusOBrien/110794351529449709

Off the top of my head we've got:
nebulae
terraforming/colonization/et al.
experiment
warp drive modification
novae/supernovae
treaty negotiations

Any I've missed?

*All puns intended. Deal. With. It.

Just watched #TheReadyRoom discussing the #StrangeNewWorlds / #LowerDecks crossover. I got all misty-eyed seeing how everyone involved are fans -- just like me! And I'm so hoping for another crossover -- and maybe a #LiveAction Lower Decks episode? So excited that #TawnyNewsome will be a writer on #StarTrekAcademy!

I've just learned (from inerrant #Wikipedia) that Sol Kaplan, who also scored the episode "The Enemy Within," was blacklisted from Hollywood for refusing to cooperate with the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

"The Enemy Within" ALSO had a bitchin' soundtrack; it and "The Doomsday Machine" were dipped into a lot for later Star Trek incidental music.

My current earworm is the soundtrack by Sol Kaplan from the classic Trek episode "The Doomsday Machine." It fuckin' SLAPS! Adventure and suspense and pathos and tragedy and victory — it is some top-goddamned-notch sci-fi music.

"Your logic...

.... feels sound to me."

Fucking #EthanPeck is *such* a good #Spock.

I love that classic #STTOS characters are now like #DoctorWho - everyone can have their favourite versions!

What Happened To Kirk & Enterprise Crew After Star Trek: TOS? https://is.gd/d6gJec #Kirk #Enterprise #STTOS #StarTrekTOS

I love how Picard season 2 is a long form homage to the best Star Trek movie ever made, starring the finest ensemble of characters

Jim … what happened to your phase?
