So, I heard the officers talking on the promenade that the first #stdisco short epsiode will come out in October. Time to fire to the old Mastodon machine again. (Birdsite's been getting unbearable anyways.) Who's excited? And are you more excited about this or the new Doctor Who or about Picard. Biiiiit of tossup here behind the bar, excited all around.

It's bots all the way down.
An ancient Ferengi legend says that every user is is just a bot create for the First User to talk to. Then those bots created other bots to talk to and on and on. Some believe that in the end there is only one real user in the entire Fediverse, with multiple accounts talking to themself or bots descended from the ones they created talking to each other.

There are no cool people on Mastodon.

Best goodbye in the finale, warning, there is only one right answer.

Gold pressed jeans being accepted today only for drinks on the Promenade!

V'draysh... (snarl)

Also, if you rewatch Calypso you'll remember that Craft talks about the annoyingly nostalgic and aggressive V'Draysh who his people were fighting in a war for 10 years.

I didn't catch this at all but if you read online the writer acknowledged who the V'Draysh are...(extra possible spoiler)

... it's the Federation, it's supposed to be a phonetic shortening that occurs over time. Something to think about.

So just thinking about how the "Calypso" short story could fit in to the current events. If #Discovery really jumps into the future, it needs to be far enough ahead for Control never to evolve. Burnam's mom jumped something like 950 years into the future. But in that episode, the ship says the crew left almost 1000 years ago. Does that mean they jump 950 forward, then leave the ship alone for another 1000 and Calypso happens 2000 years in the future?

Great answers everyone, those too. But I was thinking of "What if the Emperor isn't dead?"

So you just clicked on the CW, did you even watch the trailer? The whole thing? I don't trust you. I'll wait one more post.

All I'll say is, I was fine until the end and now I can't get six little words out of my head. My own words, not in the trailer. What are they?

Did you even think about clicking on CW? Think what you could have done.

No, watch the trailer first. Then we can talk.

@Morn I can't vote in my own poll? That doesn't seem fair, how am I supposed to fix the .... I mean, express my democratic right, then?

Polls, I don't know, starting to feel all slick and social networky... I guess I'll give it a shot.

Vote for your favourite one of @Morn 's jokes:

hey @DS9, looking pretty good in HD! https://www.fathomevents.com/events/what-we-left-behind

Also the Pike storyline is fascinating for writers because it's rare you have a character where everyone knows his ending already. No matter what happens, he will end up some day paralyzed. Showing that as a choice is a nice touch as well as the classic hand to the window death.

I also just rewatched the season opener again, his fortune from the lack Lorca cookie:
"Not every cage is prison, not every loss is eternal." That's the theme of the whole season.

We'll. That was something.
It's great, it's all great.
What happened?

Oh ya, another signal, nanobots, relationship interventions.

My main question is about the signals. They said it's the 4th of 7. How do we know that? Is it the same 7 signals coming back again?
If so can't they predict where they'll be or use spocks map?

What's the proper etiquette for fan connecting with someone on the streetcar in Toronto when you see them on Mastodon on their phone and even boosting toots from someone you follow (eg. @staticsafe

But like...in a cool way.
