Gorgeous.
No, that's the Hart to Hart pizza cutter.

Spelled "goigeous", you mean.No, that's the Hart to Hart pizza cutter.
Well, there goes Discovery on a linking up note to end on, in case there isn't another season. I see it reverted to type by going all Star Trek holier than thou, but I appreciate peace more than war. Another link to the past: a green Clint Howard! All growed up! Only he wasn't green first time around. Please make him be in the new Star Wars Solo movie...
Renewed before the mid-season break.Back in March or April 2019 I believe.
I binged it a couple of weeks ago. I liked it a lot - do agree about the indoctrination bit, especially having Shazad Latif as the affected one (although it was all I could do to not shout "I hear you, Clem Fandango" whenever he appeared.)So it's come to this: The Federation against Islamic State! With none too subtle allusions to real world atrocities! Not sure how tasteful that is, but this is giddier than the usual ST series. Touch of The Genesis Project in there, too.
I do want to see why the spore drive is clearly discontinued by the time we get to Kirk's era.
Ah! That'd be It.I believe it's because the writers back in the 1960s hadn't though of it.
I rather suspect we just won't hear about it again, which is disappointing, but I'm prepared to let them have it, because keeping it around not only doesn't fit in with previous series, it's also bad for story telling. You wind up having to come up with excuses for not using it in order to create drama.Ah! That'd be It.
That's actually part of what I want to see. There's not even any mention, glimpse or passing reference to it in any (chronological) future series. A few decades on Voyager could have got back to the Alpha Quadrant in hours rather than years, but nobody mentions spores: this implies an innate reason within the Discovery arc that the spore drive is not only discontinued but effectively erased from scientific knowledge. The writers must have thought about it from the start - everything else meshes perfectly well. If they needed transit to alternate universes etc there's always wormholes, anomalies... giant green hands.. Q even, who could then blot the memory and thus be a surprise when they show up in TNG. But instead spores - so I want to see where they go with It, in both senses of the phrase.
He got better.VOY did attempt warp 10. I think we'd all rather forget that episode.
I suppose we could all chip in a few coins...
Starlog magazine was brilliant, almost as good as the mighty Cinemagic magazine .. back in the days before it was 'hip' to be a nerd ..That's definitely based on the Ralph McQuarrie design - remember seeing it an article on the making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture probably in Starlog, a while before the film came out, as a rejected concept.
It'd be interesting to know the provenance of the model, is it actually a maquette for Star Trek Planet of the Titans. Star Trek Phase II, ST:TMP, or one of the other films or series, or is is something put together by a fan, or a professional model builder as part of a pitch for work on Star Trek.

5th Passenger is set in the aftermath of an oppressive class war, Miller, a pregnant officer aboard an escape pod must struggle to survive with her remaining crew when a mysterious and vicious life form attacks, determined to become the dominant species. The film unites several fan-favorite Star Trek cast members including Doug Jones (The Shape of Water, Star Trek: Discovery, Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, Hellboy 2) Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Marina Sirtis (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Generations), and Armin Shimerman (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, The Hitcher and Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time).
Bizarrely, I think it looks like Patrick Stewart in a beard and wig, the eyes in particular.Here's one, set for stun ! ..
A man arrested Monday for masturbating at a bus stop identified himself as James Tiberius Kirk upon his arrest byFlorida police, according to court records.
