I am not a fan of government censorship. The Seduction of the Innocent era has come back. This is a terrible idea being repackaged against LGBTQ literature. Fuck that shit.

I see you’ve already read my top rec (VOY - Homecoming), but another great VOY comic is β€œSeven’s Reckoning” by Dave Baker & Angel Hernandez

Dear Star Trek Voyager fans, may I inquire for Voyager novel recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Over @comicsbeat.bsky.social I reviewed Disney Afternoon Adventures Vol. 6: DuckTales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp and Other Stories from @fantagraphics.bsky.social. As a longtime TDA fan I adore this series!

T'Pol from Enterprise is pictured. She's standing in a cargo bay, camera is looking up at her. She looks serious, as per usual. Closed caption reads, "How's your dog?"
(Also everything is very blue because I suck at taking TV screenshots)

Long Beach Independent, March 5, 1967.

Can you tell me if Grace Lee Whitney who played Janice on Star Trek has left the series. She hasn't appeared in a long time.

Grace is no longer a regular on the show, but may make guest appearances.

Will Star Trek be back next season?

Yes.

Screenshot from Star Trek: Lower Decks. Boimler is angrily shouting with his mouth wide open. In the background, Mariner is inside the Starfleet recruitment booth. The text reads, β€œThe Doctor didn’t spend seven years in the Delta Quadrant for you [bleep]s to question his agency. He’s got rights!” At the bottom in smaller text is β€œ#MoreLowerDecks.”

This week I’m stoked to have a review on Comic News Insider for Star Trek: Deviations - Threads of Destiny #1 by @stephwilliams.bsky.social, Gregory Maldonado, @afowlerart.com, @charliekirchoff.com & @longtalljodie.com.

It’s an outstanding β€œWhat If…?” story that gets to the heart of the Franchise.

It is, but I’m also glad it’s being implemented because the technocrats have been broadcasting their eagerness to assimilate the rest of us for quite a while now. I think the general public needs to wake up and realize these things are not fantasy but viable possibilities that we must guard against.

You know, scifi also has a lot of good ideas. Have we considered trying ANY of those?

There should be legal consequences for lawmakers passing a law they know is unconstitutional. Like the Kansas anti-trans law.

If I break the law while doing my job, I'll get a fine or go to jail.

PANEL 1: The IMPORTANT PUNDIT is standing on a soapbox with a megaphone on the street. One or two people are watching. He motions with his thumb behind himself.
PUNDIT: Hello! WHAT IF Mattie had all of "her" skin ripped off in one big piece like a clementine? 
PUNDIT: This is "its" house by the way!

PANEL 2: MATTIE, sitting on her couch with a book. The voice from the megaphone comes from outside.
VO: What if someone did that. Just if anyone has a big knife, for doing the thing I talked about. I'm just wondering aloud!

PANEL 3: MATTIE leans out the window, yelling.
MATTIE: Get bent, asshole!

PANEL 4: Back on the PUNDIT. everyone is raising a knife of some sort.
PUNDIT: Can you believe that language?
PERSON IN CROWD: SO uncivil.
PERSON IN CROWD: Let's go up there with our blades

another sketchy comic. Fanlee removes SpΓ€tzle’s smiling mask, revealing that SpΓ€tzle is crying underneath. Fanlee gives her a reassuring look, examines the mask, and crushes it underfoot. Fanlee huffs and turns back to say something to SpΓ€tzle, but finds SpΓ€tzle is already wearing a new mask.
