#238: Ship of the Line (TNG event)

In today’s episode, a starship trying to head off a Klingon invasion suddenly finds its salad tossed and its eggs scrambled. But when its time-displaced captain plays the sympathy card to get the new Enterprise gig, the crew isn’t confident in his old-school thinking. Would the TOS era have had ship’s counselors? Does anyone in Starfleet understand how seniority works? And what’s up with the octo decapus? All this and more in Ship of the Line, the book with the most tempting mail-in offer yet!

Another writing site

Hey people. Since apparently one site is not enough to satiate my desire for longform writing, I have also started Blocker Trap, which is essentially just me journaling the video games I play. If that sounds like your jam, I encourage you to give it a look, bookmark it, and check it frequently for updates just like you do here.

In the meantime, I am making my way through Ship of the Line as best I can, and, uh … hoo boy, do I have some things to say about that one.

#237: The Chance Factor (VOY YA #2)

In today’s episode, animal husbandry looks to be Janeway’s last hope for staying enrolled in the Academy. But the toughest specimens to wrangle might well be two male pigs. What’s considered “disabled” for a Betazoid? Is getting research grants harder or easier in a moneyless society? And how subtle is this book’s aim for the female demographic? All this and more in The Chance Factor, or, Tango & Kath.
