Random Star Trek discussion

I want to know the story behind the name of this ship.

OK, I don't think it's entirely the fault of my aging eyesight, but I can't make that out.

USS Porksauce.

Well that seems entirely self-explanatory to me. I'm not sure why Tucker is struggling with it. Unless his internet's down.

Fleet Admiral Beauregard J. Porksauce was a hero and you will say his name with respect, sir.

Mods, I hereby demand all Dayton's Carson Tower fics be edited to properly attribute his awesomeness to Fleet Admiral Porksauce.

Keep seeing Mark Shostrom in the Voyager credits under makeup.
His earlier credits include Freddy 2, and Evil Dead 2.
So, the guy who did the Freddy chest-burst, and Henrietta probably also had a hand in Salamander-Janeway.

This Henrietta.

Only Satan had a hand in Salamander Janeway.

And this podcast episode has a review of the movie. *spoiler alert* it's really shitty. It also cribs heavily from the Gary Seven episode, some of Roddenberry's other failed projects, and pre-figures Data in many ways. Oh, and you can throw in a connection to Animal House and a couple of other movies as well.

I found out last week that an artist friend of mine is friends with Trek designer/illustrator John Eaves.

"Exile".

Taaaale as oooold aaas tiiime!

You know what this clip made me realize?

I am now older than DeForest Kelley when he first played McCoy. (He was born in 1920, BTW.)

A really neat interview with Jimmy. He even manages to work in a bit of his WWII experience.

"Ana de Armus"

Is that anything? Is that a meme?

Well, Ana de Armas is an actress.

yes, that was the joke

Whoopi likes to fart a lot.

I ain’t gettin’ on no shuttle, Picard!

Shuttles would have crashed less with Murdock at the helm.

The benefit in TNG is you can just ask the replicator to spike Worf's prune juice.

I sent SoyTrek a private message on Instagram, they're leaning towards "Right to Bare Armus."

"Fair Trade"

Wixiban- "...I had to eat worms to survive! Rodents gnawed on you all night! And I was punished in ways you can't imagine!".

"Ways you can't imagine" is always PG-TV code for assrape and salad tossing.
