I really want to watch new episodes of Star Trek on Paramount+, to support the show and ensure Paramount gets good viewing numbers.
But it is the most unstable streaming app on my TV. I can't watch a single episode of anything without the episode just randomly quitting, and sometimes the entire app crashing, often within seconds of an episode starting. Sometimes, I have to go back in and continue the episode three or four times to watch an entire episode.
This is definitely one of the reasons people pirate shows they want to watch. Paramount should just leave the streaming to Netflix and Hulu and license their shows to stream on one of those.
If Star Trek communications worked like real world audio/video communications:
Uhura: Captain, the Klingon vessel is hailing us.
Kirk: Lt. Uhura, have we installed the Klingon video and audio codecs?
Uhura: Yes, captain, but they've updated their protocol since our last hail.
Captain: Mr. Spock, install the software for their new protocol.
Spock: Unfortunately, Captain, the new protocol has not been ported to Federation OS.
Captain: Just fire phasers on the Klingon vessel!

A bit of Star Trek fan fiction.
The young Klingon woke up on the ground, before a set of great, iron gates. The gates were large and imposing. Everything beyond the gates seemed to disappear. What could be behind those gates, he couldn't possibly guess. It seemed like it must protect some great building.
He wondered how he got there. But, just as the thought entered his mind, the gates began to open, and a great man walked out and stood before him.
He stood up to face this larger-than-life figure. The man had flowing white hair, and more scars on his face and arms than he'd ever seen. He carried a bat'leth strapped to his side.
The bat'leth was larger than most, and an old-fashioned style. He'd never seen one like that before, except in textbooks. He recognized it: The Sword of Kahless.
"Are you Kahless?"
"Yes, young Warrior, I am."
"Am I dead?"
"Yes, you are." He smiled, with compassion, at the boy.
"I was sick. I've been sick a long time. They couldn't find a cure. Some Federation doctors came and tried to help, but I guess I wasn't strong enough.
"Do I now face Fek'Ihr to be admitted to Gre'thor?"
"Young One, why should you deserve the fate of the Dishonored?" He kneeled before the child, and looked him directly into his eyes. "Why should you spend your afterlife with those who ran from a challenge, or mistreated their kin, or did those things that would bring disgrace upon them and their house?"
The boy was shaken. He trembled slightly before this great man. "Sir, I was no warrior. I committed no deeds of glory. And my parents are dead, so I have no family to commit any great deeds in my name. I spent most of my life in a hospital bed, too sick to do anything that would bring honor to my name. I am not worthy of being with warriors like you."
Kahless placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Young Warrior, you have battled, alone, for years on end, against an adversary unseen to all, but felt keenly by you. You have done so bravely, never wavering in your determination. It matters not that you lost the war. You fought it bravely and with great honor."
"So..."
"I am here to welcome you to Sto'Vo'Kor, to spend your next life among those who lived their lives with honor."
"I ... will be honored?"
"I know not how you will be remembered on Qo'noS. But here, you will be celebrated as one of the great warriors of your time.
You will meet others here who were seen as less worthy during their life, but who are still great warriors. Some, like you, fought against disease, or a failing of their own body. Some fought against hatred from their own people because of who they are, or who they loved. Some fought against their own minds.
I fought on battlefields of dirt and rock, armed with my blade. My fights, however, are no less deserving of honor than yours, fought within your own body, armed with nothing but your own spirit."
Kahless stood and reached his hand out to the Warrior. They took hands, and walked through the gates together, in glory.

Is this where Starfleet builds its spaceships?
I really like the episode names for this season of Star Trek: Prodigy. They're all references to other parts of Star Trek, but this is probably my favorite. #StarTrek #StarTrekProdigy #StarTrekTOS

You never know when the kids are listening. I swear I've had an extremely similar conversation with my son after he apparently overheard me and my wife talking about my brother.
You thought Prodigy was too Star Wars-like? I think anyone watching that show needs to give it at least five or six episodes before forming an opinion of it.
After the first several episodes, it really evolves. And it's not just a good sequel to Voyager, it definitely feels a lot like Voyager. It's all about exploration, both of the galaxy, and of the characters themselves.
I might even say #Prodigy is the most #StarTrek of the new series, but it takes several episodes to get there.

I was watching #StarTrek #VoyageHome yesterday, and got a new theory.
If the events of Voyage Home had never happened, there never would've been Cetacean Ops in 24th century starships.
My theory goes that when George and Gracie were brought to the 23rd century and saved Earth from the whale probe, humans realized that cetaceans were more intelligent than we'd previously thought.
Maybe Uhura and Dr. Taylor worked together to get the universal translator to work on whale and dolphin languages, and because of Scotty's clever modifications to the Klingon Bird of Prey they'd borrowed, they were able to start fitting Federation ships with similar tanks so that cetaceans could start joining Starfleet and serving on starships.
Without those events, Leiutenants Kimolu and Matt never would've gotten the opportunity to serve aboard the Cerritos. #LowerDecks
STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE Showrunner Details William Shatner's Scrapped Return As Villainous Captain Kirk
Apparently Shatner's ego spared us from an awful planned plotline with Mirror Kirk stuck in the Phantom Zone escaping and battling Prime Archer.
Name your favorites from #StarTrek:
- Uniform: Lower Decks
- Spock: Nimoy, starting with Voyage Home. After his rebirth, Spock gained a lot of emotional intelligence that he didn't have before, and Leonard did a great job of incorporating that growth into the character.
- Couple: Worf and K'Ehleyer
- Character: Data
- Starship: Enterprise-E
- Villain: Kahn
- Series: #TNG
- Captain: Picard
- Movie: First Contact
Keep Us Connected definitely is an earworm.
I've been humming it all morning.
Although, I did watch the episode twice yesterday, and a YouTube video of the song a couple times as well.

Final Thoughts on Subspace Rhapsody.
Ever since I was a nerdy theater kid so many decades ago, I have been hoping for something like this. It hit me in all the feels.
During the final number, when they were monitoring the Improbability Levels, it definitely reminded me of the Improbability Drive from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It seemed just as silly, in the best way possible.
The brief interlude in the finale with rapping Klingons was just chef's kiss.
I loved that Uhura really got to shine in this episode, since she was the most musical character in the Original Series.
On the negative side, I still really wish they wouldn't kept shoehorning Jim Kirk into this season. I have no problem with his characterization or the actor, but his presence seems unnecessary, and just a silly (not in a good way) attempt to connect it to TOS more than is necessary.
But, all in all, I absolutely loved this episode, so very much.

Celia Rose Gooding is so impressive. Uhura's solo number is so beautiful, touching, moving, emotional, and brilliantly sung.

"Nobody wants a singing Klingon"
You have no idea how much I want a singing Klingon. Preferably Kor. I really would've liked Kor to show up singing.
Just the opening scene from #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds Subspace Rhapsody is making me so very happy.
You guys have no idea how long I've wanted a Star Trek musical.
So, #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds has an upcoming musical episode, Subspace Rhapsody. I know it looks really silly, but also incredibly fun.
There are a few perfect #StarTrek episodes: City on the Edge of Forever, Measure of a Man, Far Beyond the Stars.
Those Old Scientists might be one of them.
That #StarTrek episode when Captain Kirk goes crazy because nobody else can see the Andorian on the outer hull of the ship.
One of my favorite scenes in #StarTrek is in the Original Series episode, Charlie X. Many of the crewmen are hanging out in the rec room; Spock is playing a song on his lyre; Uhura decides to start making up a song about him.
It's such a simple scene of a bunch of friends just hanging out.
None of the other series really have any scenes like this, and I think that's a shame.
