• Janeway records the stardate 61898.2 in her vice admiral’s log.

• Janeway recounts the events of “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”

• It’s Doctor Crusher! From Star Trek! Doctor Crusher is voiced by Gates McFadden, who played the character on TNG.

    • ”She’s surprisingly hard to track down these days.” It was revealed in “Seventeen Seconds”, Doctor Crusher left Starfleet after learning she was pregnant with Jack.

”Been a while since the Shinzon incident.” Admiral Janeway did order the USS Enterprise E to Romulus in “Star Trek Nemesis”, but she didn’t have any interaction with Doctor Crusher in the film.

”Last I heard, he was busy with the Romulan evacuation.” We learned in “Remembrance” that Picard left the Enterprise E to to command Starfleet’s rescue armada ahead of the Romulan sun going supernova.

• There have been two Starfleet ships named for Archimedes, one mentioned in the Short Treks episode, “The Brightest Star”, and the Obena-class vessel seen in LDS’ “First First Contact”.

”I saw a glimpse of my future.” Dal looked at the timestream, despite being told not to, in “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”.

“When I was your age, I was lost too. Lost my father, my heritage, my purpose.” As per “Tattoo”, Chakotay’s father died defending their colony. Chakotay would have been 40 or 41 at the time.

”I never truly belonged until I became Janeway’s Number One.” Janeway declared Chakotay first officer of the USS Voyager in “Caretaker”.

• We learned that the the USS Protostar’s proto-drive is powered by a literal protostar in “Terror Firma”.

 

• The episode picks up where the pervious episode, “The Devourer of All Things, Part II” left off, with the Protogies having located an older, grizzled, bearded Chakotay on a remote world. Chakoldtay immetately throws the CHAH-mooz-ee stone Dal was holding out to him at the end of the previous episode over his shoulder and goes back about the business of living off the land.

    • We see Chakotay whittling a chess set. Though as alternate dimension Kirk puts it in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, the old fashioned, two-dimensional version, ”Basically idiot’s chess.”

• It’s the Emergency Janeway Hologram! From Star Trek! The EJH…died for lack of a better term when she sacrificed herself in “Supernova, Part 2”, but thanks to time travel, she’s back.

• We learn that from Chakotay’s perspective, it’s been ten years since he was rescued from Solumn by the Protogies in “Who Saves the Saviors”.

• Chakotay explains that he and Adreek stranded the USS Protostar to prevent the Vau N’Akat weapon learned about in “A Moral Star, Part 2” from reaching the Federation, and Dal recounts how the Protogies set off the weapon in “Supernova, Part 1” and then destroyed the Protostar in “Supernova, Part 2”.

• The first instance of an ion storm in Trek was in the season one TOS episode, ‘The Galileo Seven”.

• Zero finds the Protostar’s dedication plaque, and we learn that the ship was launched on stardate 59749.1. Assuming stardates happen sequetionally, that would put the launch of the Protostar after the events of all or most of season 5 of LDS, the latest stardate for which we have is 59499.6, “Fully Dialated”.

    • The Protostar’s dedication plague has the quote, “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves,” which seems to paraphrase a line of William Shakespeare’s “Julius Ceaser” and is attributed to him on many internet quote sites, but is not actually from the Bard’s works.

• Jankom sets about repairing the broken down runaway ground vehicle, which was introduced in “Dream Catcher”.

    • In this episode we learn the runaway has a hover function.

”Out of all the planets to maroon yourself on, you pick this P class nightmare?” Class P planets have not been previously mentioned on screen, but were introduced in the “Star Trek Maps” reference book, published in 1980. According to the “Star Trek Star Charts” reference book, Class P worlds are over 80% glaciated. Assuming Jankom is right, Chakotay apparently marooned the Protostar in a warm spot.

• Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.

 

• The episode opens in the office where Wesley took the Protogies at the end of “The Devourer of All Things, Part I”, which appears to be based on Gary Seven’s office from “Assignment: Earth”.

    • Wesley confirms that it is not the actual office from “Assignment: Earth”, but a replica mimicking that office to train the Travellers’ field agents.

    • The newspaper in the office has a headline reading “Apollo VII Launches.” There was an Apollo VII mission patch displayed behind the bar of the 602 Club in “First Flight”.

      • The story of “Assignment: Earth” did feature a rocket launch, but that was for an orbital nuclear weapon platform, which Gary Seven was able to sabotage and detonate.

    • When Wesley turns around the bookcase revealing a hidden computer identical to the Beta 5 computer as seen in “Assignment: Earth”

• Commander Tysess swears on the Wall of Heroes to protect Maj’el with his life. The Wall of Heroes was first mentioned in “United” when Shran said he would take Archer’s blood there after killing him in an honour duel.

”Fall back to the battle bridge!” The USS Voyager A is the only ship other than the USS Enterprise D to have a battle bridge mentioned in dialogue.

• Admiral Janeway shows up wearing a tank top, a look she first sported in “Macrocosam”.

”Tom Paris taught me that one.” Janeway and Paris spent a lot of time together during their time in the Delta Quadrant, particularly in the episodes “Time and Again”, and “Threshold”.

• The Voyager A’s shuttles are armed with quantum torpedoes. We’ve previously seen runabouts armed with micro-torpedoes, but this is the first shuttlecraft that has been explicitly said to be equipped with torpedoes of any sort.

    • The shuttle is also able to survive the detonation of a full spread of quantum torpedoes at close range.

”Now, if you six would step under the modified Boreth crystals near the Orb of Time, I can get the quantum signature readings I need.” We learned in “Through the Valley of Shadows” that time crystals are a naturally occurring mineral on the Klingon monastery world of Boreth. The Cardassians returned Orb of Time to the Bajorans in the episode “Trials and Tribble-ations”.

”Fine, but Jankom’s still not sure this won’t scramble his genes like a Jiballian omelette.” Neelix claimed his seven-spice Jiballian omelette was famous in “Prototype”.

• Janeway recognizes Wesley despite the two never having met previously. This is because there’s only ever about seven people on any given Starfleet ship that do anything, so everyone in starfleet knows who they are. See: all of Star Trek.

You don't have to play the good guys for the system to work, the same system is used for Dune - Adventures in the Imperium, and that's a setting about as morally grey as it gets. Even with Star Trek Adventures, there is the Klingon Core Rulebook if you want to be a bit more rowdy than your typical Starfleet officers. The Operations Division sourcebook has suggestions for playing as Section 31 as well.

Lack of time is definitely the enemy of table top gaming. I feel very fortunate that I've managed to have an ongoing [mostly] weekly STA game for two and half years now.

If you're paying, you can spell his name any way you like.

My excitement at having Paul Giamatti in Trek is significantly tempered by the idea that he’s going to be the season villain for “Starfleet Academy”. Unless he’s going to be the hard ass dean of the Academy that doesn’t want to put up Tilly’s students putting Orion pheromones in the environmental system, and kidnapping the Klingon Military Academy’s targ mascot before the big game, I’m not interested in a villain.

So did 'Farscape'.

Not surprised there wasn’t a close-up on that one; I wouldn’t have recalled that Janeway has a microscope in her ready room.

I think Burnham was referencing Book, not Tyler, when she said she knows what it’s like to lose someone but got him back.

I suppose you could interpret it that way, but I just don’t see it myself.

Book died during the final events of 10C, but they magically zapped him back into existence, if I recall correctly.

Book didn’t die, he was transporting out, and the 10C were able to capture his transporter pattern, and then later resolve it.

Odo definitely identifies as male.

And yes.

He insisted that even though he is gay, the Sulu he portrayed is straight.

"Unfortunately, it’s a twisting of Gene’s creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it’s really unfortunate."

Takei was not into it, but I do feel like he was overselling just how much thought Roddenberry put into the side characters in Trek. Sulu didn't even get a given name until "The Voyage Home", a film Roddenberry had nothing to do with.

(In Generations, Sulu is married and has a daughter, Demora, who helmed the Enterprise-B.)

Demora is Sulu's daughter, but there's no mention that Sulu was married, or if he was that it was to a woman.

(and Cho himself is cool being a straight Korean playing a gay Japanese)

Funny you mention the character's nationality, considering that Roddenberry envisioned Sulu as some pan-Asian character on indeterminate nationality. Sulu is not a Japanese name, and Roddenberry chose to name the character after the Sulu sea of the coast of the Philippians.

Please don’t assume that I thought otherwise just because I didn’t explicitly mention every potentiality in that one post.

That was not my assumption. I just can't think of any reason to assume that Sulu is not bi or pan, given what we know about the various iterations of the character.

Who said anything about revenge?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Ah, well that question has been answered by others and myself elsewhere in this thread. Sorry for assuming that you might have checked to see if your question was already answered before asking it.

But hey, just for you, I'll repost what I've already said:

Because the police enforce the laws of the state, often with violence. If the law dictates that a person being open about their identity is illegal regardless of the fact their identity harms no one, and everyone involved in their actions consents, than it is the responsibility of the cops to oppress them. One year the cops might march alongside people at pride, and then the laws might change and they’ll be there to bust heads of anyone who shows up the next year. 
 
And yeah, there no doubt exist LGBTQ+ cops, or cops whose friends and/or family whom they love are LGBTQ+, but so long as they wear the uniform they represent an organization used to oppress marginalized and minority communities. 
 
Fundamentally, pride is not just a party, it is a protest.
