Canon Connections: PRO 2x11 - Last Flight of the Protostar, Part 1
I cannot recommend “Warp Your Own Way” enough to any fans of the series. Calling it a graphic novel fails to account for the fact that it is a choose your own adventure style story which makes perfect sense in the context of the story being told. An absolute master craft of the comics format. Also, it’s funny and the art is good.
Much like Captain Bateson and the USS Bozeman, we’re back, baby!
The PRO canon connections got derailed by LDS and seasonal depression, but seeing that the Greatest Trek podcast was about to overtake how far I got has me in it to win it. My plan is to get it done before SNW drops.

In this case, yes. The character Kirk was fighting in the gif you posted was surgically disguised as an Andorian to disrupt the diplomatic talks regarding the dilithium mining world, Coridan, in the episode "Journey to Babel".
The Andorian in the screen grab in your second comment is an Andorian.
Not to be that guy (I am 100% that guy), but that’s an Orion.
Ah, that was my second guess.
Did you mean “Yesteryear” for TAS? “Spock Amok” is an SNW episode.
I'm not sure I believe that Vulcans would be frying a lot of their foods, but those fritters do sound pretty good. Maybe without dumping enough paprika onto the hummus to make the logo, though.
Speaking of fried foods, that Orion funnel cake looks like an atrocity.
Somebody warp me!
This is violence.
My group switched to 2e pretty quickly after it became available. There are some significant differences, but for the most part it’s a streamlined version of 1e.
Most of what’s available in the new Tech Guide would is simply information about the various technologies players would have access to. There’s only a few stat blocks.
It really does come across as a Suicide Squad riff. Which I guess is kinda what Cantwell's Defiant book has been, except he's not able to kill any of the characters, because as opposed to DC's third string jobbers like Heatmonger and Reactron, Defiant features Worf, and Spock, and B'Elanna Torres.
Neat!
The book that appeals to me most is Red Shirts, if only because I've really enjoyed Cantwell's writing on the Defiant book. The premise sounds like it could be a bit of a slog, but hopefully it's not just about seeing these characters eat it.
I guess Voyager - Homecoming is geared towards all the fans who found "Endgame" to be an unsatisfactory ending to VOY. The Bridges' work I'm mostly familiar with from their contributions to Star Trek Adventures.
Honestly find it a bit difficult to muster up any enthusiasm for an SNW comic. I'm not at all familiar with Thompson's work -- looks like he's done a lot of young reader books and Star Wars stuff for Marvel -- but I'm immediately put off by the adorable robot sidekick idea. I'll still give the book a chance, but I'm not going to go in with high expectations.
I assumed that as part of their Academy duties they'd need to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge.
"People like the bridge!"
I'm a bit more surprised than I should be. Obviously the story in these ongoings was going to have to come to an end at some point as the timeline progressed towards "Star Trek Nemesis" but it still feels like there's a lot left to explore. Still, it will be interesting to see how the books wrap everything up. And what Trek comics come next.

Just so long as we both agree Janeway murdered Tuvix and should stand trial for her actions, I don't see why that should matter.
Surprise: Production Has Wrapped On ‘Star Trek: Khan’ Audio Series With Naveen Andrews In Title Role
That headline might as well read, “Suprise: That Khan podcast thing was actually in production.”
I would appreciate an explanation as to what solarpunk is.
I wonder if our boi Ash Tyler had something to do with that when he covered up what happened to Discovery (and, I guess, to Leland). Maybe he decided to remove Georgiou from that whole situation and falsify a record saying she disappeared some time later.
That would make more sense than almost anything that happened in the film.
I also wonder if Ashy T. is still involved with S31 at this point - the man’s a Klingon, so he’s got the life span for it.
I think that if Ash Tyler was involved in S31, they might be a bit more subtle. Also, he probably wouldn't have been on board with calling the director or handler or whatever Jamie Lee Curtis was supposed to be "Control."
I don’t think we watched the same film.
