Star Trek

Yes, it was very good that some names have been added !

The monument was actually renamed from "To Absent Friends" to "Sic Itur Ad Astra;" depending on how you translate your Latin, that means "Thus, one goes to the stars," "Such is the path to the stars," or "Such is the way to immortality."

If you are on Earth Spacedock, the Federation version of Sic Itur Ad Astra is blue and has a Federation emblem on top. Klingon players on Qo'noS can find a red version in the First City social hub, and Romulan Republic players can find a green version on New Romulus. Qo'noS and New Romulus have their faction-specific emblems atop the memorial.

(23rd Century Earth Spacedock doesn't even have the memorial, and the version on Deep Space Nine uses the Federation-specific memorial as opposed to a purple-colored Dominion variant.)

I need to reinstall the game so I can screenshot this (and prepare for STO's 10th anniversary events.)

If you have CBS All Access (or Amazon Prime outside of the US) then you're in luck! Star Trek: Picard begins tomorrow!

And Patrick Stewart once again proves himself to be a class act; while promoting the show on ABC's The View, he invited Whoopi Goldberg to appear in Season 2, reprising her role as Guinan.

She said yes, and later added that some of the best time in her career was on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Oh, I wish we could see this new show "Pickard" but we don't have CBS Access. I just know it is going to be a terrific show. Glad to hear that Whoopi will be reprising her "Star Trek" character again. I have heard that several of the actors from the former show will be making appearances at sometime or other. This will surely help the new show to do even better, I think.

Thanks for the updates Snorb!! If you get to see the first episode, let us know what you think of it.

Has anyone seen the new logo for the new branch of the USA military called the Space Force? The new logo looks a lot like the "Star Trek" logo. Even actor George Takei (Sulu, "Star Trek") has commented about the new logo.

The new logo also looks a lot like the Air Force Space Command logo which has been used in various ways since 1942.

Remembering actress Marj Dusay who has died at age 81.

She was in an episode of the original "Star Trek" in September 1968 (the 3rd season) called "Spock's Brain" where she played an alien with the name of Kara who stole Mr. Spocks' brain.

She also acted in several Soap Operas and many other tv roles and movies, etc. I knew her best from her roles in the Soap "Days Of Our Lives" and "All My Children".

Condolences to her family.

Moral lesson, courtesy of Star Trek: Picard.

Quote:

PICARD: (publicly badmouths his previous employer in front of the entire planet)

PICARD: (begs previous employer for his job back)

ADMIRAL CLANCY: (uses one of the Seven Words You Can't Say on Star Trek, does not give Picard his job back)

PICARD: (surprised Pikachu face)

I recently read of two more actors who died and were somehow related to "Star Trek".

First, actor Kevin Conway has passed away at age 77. He was in an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" where he played the role of a clone of Kahless The Unforgettable. He also played in several episodes of the tv show "The Good Wife" and many other tv roles, etc.

Condolences to his family.
