![]() She takes one in the shoulder – fortunately, her attackers have phasers set to “Emulate small caliber gunfire” rather than “Sploosh” – a wound she is unable to treat despite being a doctor, and has to have herself put in stasis. Remember when phasers just had “stun”, “kill” and “disappear”? Okay, I know that they occasionally had to set their phasers to “Extremely nasty death” mode, like when they fought the parasite queen in Starfleet Headquarters’s Inexplicable Boss Fight Room (Seriously, why did they even HAVE a room which was just one big open room with a large throne-like chair and a map and nothing else? The chair had a Starfleet barcode on the back, so this was a normal thing for them to have there, not something specially built for the alien queen). Her phaser rifle is pump-action, and has both “maim” and “sploosh” modes, switching between them haphazardly. They’re being attacked by… Let’s go with “Bad Guys”, and she does a lot of murdering them while she waits for the engines to warm up. We actually open on Bevery Crusher, who has become a cool action lady aboard a ship which Memory Alpha tells me is called the “Eleos XII”, though I thought she was saying “Helios” or maybe “Delios”. Stargazer and Excelsior are nowhere to be seen, and we’ll get to Seven in due time. I think Raffi’s got La Sirena for some reason (I didn’t get a good enough look to be sure they aren’t just using the La Sirena sets as a stand-in for “generic civilian ship of the sort a shady ex-starfleet type might use as a private operator”). Soji and Elnor are nowhere to be seen, Jurati is, I assume, off being the Borg Queen. Rios has been dead for hundreds of years. So where are we at the beginning of Picard’s valedictory season? Well, the new Borg and the mysterious transwarp MacGuffin are nowhere to be seen. Most of the hype leading up to season 3 of Star Trek: Picard has been various forms of, “Oh thank God, they decided to stop fucking around trying something new and just do the TNG reunion nostalgia-fest we wanted the whole time.” If you have been reading my blog’s evolution into a “How is there this much Star Trek for me to talk about?” blog, and I hope you are, you might suspect that this is a marketing tactic that would not work on me so well as on, y’know, the people who keep posting questions on Quora that are thinly veiled rephrases of, “Please help me justify the fact that I can’t stand all the women, gay men, and people of color in Star Trek by making it sound like there’s actually something objectively wrong with it.” Seed of Bismuth on Not gonna cross the picket lineĪrchives Archives Categories Categories Cheep CheepTwitter outputted an error:.Seed of Bismuth on Some Blundering About Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2×05: Charades.Seed of Bismuth on Flash Fiction: IN THE THIRTY-SECOND CENTURY.Seed of Bismuth on Flash Fiction: Those Noble Gentlemen. ![]() Some Blundering About Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2×05: Charades.Flash Fiction: IN THE THIRTY-SECOND CENTURY. ![]()
