    Ooh, that would have been such a great thing to do!

    Definitely not the best of the season. SNW has done some good humorous episodes but this was clearly an example of trying way too hard. Which is a shame as, other than Mount acting way over his pompadour to be Captain Conehead and the Una/Doug-thing, there was (I think) a good story hidden inside the whole mess. I really liked Chapel's iteration, as she was not flamboyantly over the top, and I would have really liked to have dived deeper into her cutting off Kolby and her friends. Uhura brainwashing What's His Name could have floated a third of the episode with the rest anchored by La'an's decent into villain-hood. If they had done this with the intent of telling a drama rather then bending over backward to twist it into a comedy it could have been a really strong episode. Instead, it was dragged down by the weird hair transitions, the slow-mo walk and having the actual mission solved in under 10 seconds. I did like seeing Kirk again and interaction with Scotty, though his reason for being there was pretty flimsy. It seems the Federation isn't all that big anymore if the Farragut is still right around the corner. On racism, I have to say I didn't see any. To me, what they were showing was nothing more than the usual Vulcan logic-bred arrogance that we've seen all through Star Trek. They were literally stating facts that Spock was only half Vulcan, so yeah, 4.5 Vulcans.

    RIP to a prolific and iconic actor. Don't know they are gone until they are gone.

    If we want, we could imagine this as a heavily modified/updated version of the VF-1 series that is still active into the Frontier era. These were still used as trainers, but I can see this as a still viable combat version.

    It was a fun movie, but it didn't really wrap up its story, the 'bad guy' got a work-around with no real repercussions for his actions and everyone just walked away with dust on their shoulders. Except Fem-Taskmaster. Again, fun, but....

    Good looking Enterprise @derex3592. Can't even see the frustration from here! @MechTech So sorry for your loss. Can see you are giving the new little ones a wonderful home and a big sibling to boot. Oh yeah, nice work on the models...

    Well, if she's out of coffee...

    I think it depends on how much caffeine is in her system.

    She kinda did, though it was just out of her quarters.

    Last I heard (in February), Round2 was going to reissue all of the kits from the movie, including the missing section for the Cygnus itself. CultMan has pre-Pre-Order pages up (that so far still say Not Available...) I take it with all of its flaws and just enjoy! In fact, as I was watching, I was thinking to myself how well the character interactions were...

    Hah! @tekering I just watched that movie today!

    Getting back into 1/6 and I bought this version of the CW Batwoman from Soosoo Toys.

    Also good to keep in mind that the number of crew can change depending on mission needs. So I imagine that it could fluctuate easily between 200 and 400 due to requirements. In fact, if they do 'de-evolve' the Enterprise before Kirk gets it, then the larger crew could be required because of less automation, which then of course would require more, smaller, crew quarters to fit them all. I really hope they don't do that, as I do love her current look! As to this weeks episode, I'd call that another good one in the can! I don't usually like 'thru the viewfinder' episodes but this was done really well. Questions raised on what Starfleet is about, the crews dedication to the ultimate mission and how far to go when assisting another race caught in a terrible war. The second half of this season has turned out really well so far!

    Another good episode! The last two have really cranked it up from the first three, which were good-meh-good, and now very good and very good. Really liked that a lot was from Kirk's angle in this one, and we got some space battles and some wrecked ships along the way. Two things I didn't like was the cartoony look of the scavenger ship and how the number of crew on Enterprise just disappeared. They had most of Farragut's crew aboard as well as their own and Pike, La'an and Dead Redshirt Gal are seen running though almost empty corridors. Leads me to assuming their security detail consisted of just La'an and the Sacrifice. 😁 I can only assume it's budget concerns whenever they leave the bridge (or quarters) for a populated set like the corridors. More actors (even background) equals more money. Still, liking the upward trend from the start. Much rather climbing than declining towards the season finale.

    Rest in peace, General. All of Krypton shall remember you!
