I’m going to guess the new problem ensign is one of the Platonians from the TOS episode, “Plato’s Stepchildren”.

Super excited to get more Ryan North LDecks content.

Though I really wish it was Chris Fenoglio doing the art. Fenoglio did the three issue mini, as well as the recent Warp Your Own Way choose your own adventure graphic novel, both with North, and he’s able to pull off the LDecks style flawlessly. Derek Charm is an artist whose work I quite like, and I did enjoy his Shaxs’ Best Day – who doesn’t like Shaxs beating up a Klingon mech? – but his renditions of the characters are a little bit off model.

Still gonna read the heck out of this.

Rick Berman?

That’s…a lot of assumptions not in any way supported by the linked article.

Fingers crossed!

I am very concerned that this episode is going to mess up all the plans I have for the Starbase 80 fan comic I’ve been wanting to do, but never actually will.

Which is baffling, considering just how visually interesting the sport is.

This is an excellent question.

I kinda hope it’s like a movie about the literal origin of Star Trek as a television show. At this point, I feel like that would have a better chance of actually getting made then anything set in universe.

Upvoted for “The State”

Now now, let’s not be normative about the speed of facial hair growth. Some people take longer filling in their mustache and beards than others, and this could easily be something like 17 days if Boimler has particularly slow and/or sparse facial hair.

I would agree with you, if not for the fact that we’ve already seen Boimler’s facial hair potential in Beardler. Unless that alternate universe iteration of Boimler was using some sort artificial hair growth enhancement, it was naturally quite full, which would indicate to me that prime universe Boimler has that same potential.

This makes Section 31 sound like Oceans 11.

That’s awesome. I’ve been a big fan since “Orphan Black”.
