Biden is really on a roll, isn't he?

6. Some Were Very Important Guest Characters

For instance, Johnathon Del ARCO played a character in 3 episodes. He played "Hugh" a Borg who bring down the Borg Collective by learning individuality in the episode "I, Borg".
For you other Trekkers: Yes, they blew up that story arc by making First Contact. But, that movie was outstanding so I gave them a pass on that!

8. Hugh was also in

several episodes of Star Trek Picard.

14. Thanks

Haven't seen it as Comcast never struck a deal for CBS All Access.
I pay enough to Comcast. I didn't want to pay extra.
Now, that you've mentioned it, I recall the early write ups on Picard mentioned that.

17. I"m on my 2nd free month of cbs all access....

Go take a looksee

18. Not Available

I know I could stream on my tablet, but my tablet isn't going through my big surround sound system.
I'd have to watch a Star Trek thing with the full audio. I wouldn't enjoy it without.

12. "But, that movie was outstanding"

I hate Rick Berman for it but this scene took the cake -

10. If I was a millionaire, I'd attend just to see Marina Sirtis.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Bravo!!! This is hilarious because I stumbled on Marina Sirtis' account yesterday

by checking in with what Shatner is doing (since he is getting up there). And Shatner (being a Canadian citizen) has begged off getting involved in U.S. politics (although I expect he could... easily let loose)... but Marina had replied to him about some of his stuff related to horses and then I went over to her feed and was I know she and Brent Spiner have been ranting. I know Wil Wheaton has probably been ranting too.

I think it is CNN that has been running the Patrick Stewart - Mark Hamill Uber Eats commercial (and I can imagine how many takes it might have required to do that ad).

It's amazing that after 50 years of being a follower/fan of both "series", enduring the endless debates about Kirk vs Picard and the hardcore Star Wars fans hating extreme on Star Trek and whatnot, that ad was catharsis for me.

13. I'm still pissed about tRUMP stealing the Star Trek logo for his stupid Space Farce.

Oh, and a few months ago Republicans were referring to the Democratic Party as the Borg and they were likening themselves as Starfleet defeating the Borg assimilation.

I suspected that someone close to tRUMP or tRUMP itself has a fixation with Star Trek, but Republicans do not realize they are the exact opposite of what Star Trek stood for on ideals.

15. Is Q gonna be there? Or has he gone to the other side?

I love Q.

[Trumpocalypse]

19. Q is a Trump supporter

16. I'm tempted, but, it might be taped, one at a time, "GOTV" an here's my dog bits

Now, if they told me the Next Gen leads were singing and dancing, ther'yd be no way I'd miss it. Stewart, Frakes and Spiner are all Fred Astair wannabes! They WISH they were song and dance men! Too funny!!!

Some serious beefcake goin on there.....
