Spoke briefly with @worryinglyinnocent​ earlier and they made my mighty need for Pike, Spock and Number One even worse!

I had got all the references ready for a Bering and Wells artifact bagging drawing but now I’m thinking I might have to do the Enterprise crew somehow …

I have a mighty need!

Honestly if there truly is no spin-off and that brief glimpse on Discovery is all we have, I will be grateful to have had anything, but also very sad.

It’s like a tease such a brief glimpse …

#i have feelings#I’m going to have to rewatch all the Enterprise episodes now – all three of them#star trek: the lost years

After a three hour nap to try and banish my splitting headache (it worked but now I feel hungover) I watched the second episode of Voyager.

Confirmed: I really dislike Paris.

Neelix might be slightly less annoying than I thought at first, I am reserving judgement.

Janeway is awesome though I like her. She has a very expressive face. You can really see the subtle agony in the decisions she has to make which is what Star Trek is right? It’s not about space battles, it’s about decisions and their consequences.

I admit I might have been predisposed to like her because I thought she was great in Warehouse 13 but that edge won’t hold for long if the show itself doesn’t work for me.

Still I am finding this a lot more promising than previous attempts at TNG/TOS. I won’t be able to make a proper judgement for a few more episodes but gut feeling is good and my gut is usually right (not always, initial gut was wrong about Farscape and I’m glad I gave it a second chance).

Watching old TV is weird for a lot of reasons but today it’s the fact that it is square.

(Yes watching Picard made me crave Trek and I have a nausea headache and am weak and resigned to Netflix)

I’ve watched all of Discovery, Enterprise and a handful of TOS and Next Generation before. In the past I found TOS just too old and Next Generation was odd, I found the characterisation to be inconsistent but perhaps I should have given it more of a chance.

I looked up the dates and Voyager premiered just a couple of years before Stargate SG1 so I thought it would watch better so I’m trying that first. Thus far I’m hella confused and wondering (from google) if I should have watched DS9 first to get the intro to the Cardassians etc. But google said Voyager could be watched on its own.

I like Janeway which is a good start as I always need something to keep me interested. I’m sad that the female pilot died so quickly, I liked her, and I’m seriously confused as to how holograms can be solid. I mean that holographic doctor was picking stuff up!

Also shouldn’t they have scanned themselves after getting poked with needles? I would be worried about having something implanted or a contagion or something but they have just ignored it completely.

Star Trek has TWO secret TV Shows: Here’s what we think they are.

Please, please, please, please

Enterprise with Pike, Spock and Number One is top of my wishlist. I have not been quiet about that!

(I google all the time for news)

But this Seven of Nine possibility intrigues me because Jeri Ryan was incredible in Leverage. I can’t wait to see what she’s like in Picard.

(My one complaint about Picard btw is that I have to wait until next week to find out what happens next.)

#gimme that spinoff I want it so bad#star trek: the lost years#I live in hope#it’s a good time to love Trek

Everytime I see a new Marvel trailer it makes me miss the game Marvel Heroes all over again 🙁

Seriously playing as Taskmaster was a blast.

Actually playing as a lot of the characters was fun. It was a good game.

I finally built the Lego Kessel Run Millenium Falcon I picked up on sale last summer. I’ll enjoy looking at it for a couple of days and then I’ll get to work.

Step 1 – modify it to be (hopefully) better aka more true to the real one.

Step 2 – turn the basic circular structure into the beginnings of a real MOC of the Starship known as Enterprise.

Step 3 – pout probably that I don’t have any good minifigs for the Enterprise crew.

It’ll be good (I hope).
