Like, there’s at least an adapter to connect this:

…into this:

“Are you a subversive, Dr. Asha, sent by our enemies to foment revolution among the researchers?”

“Yes, I am. But it’s too late now. You already slept with me. That makes you an accessory to my plot.”

“Clearly, I’ll have to silence you.”

“Try it.”

Lee Meriwether (Batman 66 tv show and movie, ST:TOS, Barnaby Jones, Dr Kildare, The Time Tunnel, many other shows) returns 3/3 appearances.

Star Trek: Picard “Firewall”

Release date: Tuesday, February 27th 2024

So there was little enough response to the last poll (a single vote) that I didn't think anyone was interested in more...but this is one of those posts that keeps on giving, so I'm going to at least finish this up with the two that I've gotten the most anecdotal (non-poll) feedback to do.

If you missed it, the first post in this series.

And since nearly EVERYONE missed it, the second.

Captain Seven

Star Trek said Trans Rights! So very done with your shit! Hasn't yet met her younger brother Dal, but probably will approve of every single choice he's ever made. She doesn't know everything, but she knows more than you. Only marginally less of a badass with a phaser than Admiral Crusher. Can make a Sapphic's panties spontaneously combust from a lightyear away. Can make a starship spontaneously combust from a lightyear away, it just takes more effort on her part. Borg Queen? Nah... my Queen!

Scorecard

Found Families: 3

Timelines she's personally been involved in rewriting: At least 3

Hearts broken: 3 (No, Raff, you only count as one)

Mothers: 3

Category: Sempai!!!

Captain Shaw

Salty? Salty! Just some dipshit from Chicago. Walking trauma nerve, do not cross. Does NOT like jazz. Will work his way into your heart while still being the Doctor House of the Starfleet Engineering Corp. Ride or die, but goddamn had you better be ride or die, too, or he'll break you. He'll find a way. The angry sonovabitch that says all the words that tell you he hates your guts but will make you into the best version of yourself against your will.

Scorecard

Times he handed Starfleet legends their ass in verbal spars: Countless

Times he managed to keep an aging, neglected starship from falling apart around his ears in such a way as to make other Starfleet legends amazed: At least 1

Times he's set aside his personal (almost justified) prejudice against Borg to nurture and promote his first officer: 1

Times he was traumatized in such a way that we can kinda understand why he's such a massive tool: 1

So, I'm going to repurpose this blog a little, because keeping track of all the side-blogs is becoming a little tedious. This started out as a Christopher Pike blog during the second season of Discovery, and much as I love Pike; he's now vying for my affections with two other Starfleet captains - who are as complex (and potentially broken) as he is, but much more snarky. So this is now the Pike/Rios/Shaw blog. I am planning to keep my separate Shaw blog for now because I don't want to lose the posts I've already made, but everything will be reposted here as well. And, Cris gets a home, rather than being orphaned in my junk-drawer blog, which has like 9 followers.
