She brought such positive energy to fans during her time on Discover.
Her Twitter was full of enthusiasm. CBS was so much less limiting of the actors’ social media engagement. Paramount really hasn’t done well by limiting engagement to the EPs.
It’s unfortunate there hasn’t been opportunity for her appear in Strange New Worlds.
Controlled technology and not easily built from scratch even by Starfleet engineers.
The Relaunch novelverse expanded the concept and importance of industrial replicators. When Voyager returned to the Delta Quadrant, she led an small ‘Full Circle’ fleet that included a large engineering ship that did have industrial replicators large enough to reconstruct ships when severely damaged.
Lowere Decks and Prodigy have brought industrial replicators into onscreen canon.
Prodigy gave the Protostar prototype ship an industrial replicator large enough to construct shuttles. Lower Decks has shown the Cerritos and other ships tasked with delivering and bringing online very large industrial replicators on planets seeking Federation support.
It feels like the chose them to fill in the gaps in the collections of fans across every show and the movies - but also to profile legacy characters featured in new productions.
Rachel Garrett is surely there because of S31 and Jellico is more popular than ever after Prodigy.
Most structural starship components would require large industrial replicators.
These seem to always be centrally located and powered.
What someone can do with a small home model would be quite different.
Thanks for the heads up.
I can see that there might be a need to ensure some consultation in a sub, such as a notice period. Especially so for users that might wish to delete their post and comment history before a sub goes NSFW or private, but this is just another step.
As if being an early adopter in selling all their content to train LLMs wasn’t enough to justify avoiding the place.
Here’s another take.
We know that everything was reshaped to flatter and entice Patrick Stewart to come back and play Picard.
He kept refusing and keep on insisting on Picard’s life should be a reflection of his own.
But the suits at ViacomCBS (and later Paramount) put priority on greenlighting anything they could get with Picard as a character.
So, whatever initial concepts with and without Picard were all sacrificed in the end in order to indulge Stewart enough to play the role.
The sale is supposed to last until the end of today September 15th. Usually, that would be until midnight Pacific time.

We picked up 3 copies of Resurgence the evening of the 14th from Canada.
We’ve tried most of them over time.
Star Trek Resurgence has consistently excellent reviews. It’s about a 25 hour role play where the player makes choices for two different crew - a senior bridge officer and an NCO in engineering. It’s well done and one of our teens and I are enjoying it a lot. Great value for the sale price. My patience on this one was reinforced by its initial release being exclusive to Epic - but on Steam and on sale it’s worth it.
Bridge Crew is an older game. I have had it for a couple of years, and took advantage of the sale to pick up copies for each of our kids Steam accounts. One of them got really into it right away.
Timelines is also older. It held their interest for a bit in middle school but doesn’t seem to be one of the better tie-ins.
Star Trek Online is a long running massively multiplayer game that starts out free but then can cost a lot for in-game purchases. One of our teens is into it, and got fairly far without purchasing much, but the Steam sale is a good opportunity for them to buy things they’ve had on their wish list.
As a parent, I find these better than the endless number of Star Wars mods on Roblox that one of ours got into for a while.

Glad to have you mention that here.
So many fans of the older shows assume that Lower Decks isn’t accessible to new viewers who don’t get the references, but it’s quite the opposite. Gen Z and younger viewers are into animated comedies and it’s a successful entry point. And with the number of middle schoolers who got into manga and anime during the pandemic, the portion of the audience that prefers animation as a medium is only going to grow.
Our teens were fans of the Voyager when they were in middle school, and sampled the rest of the classic shows. Despite that they seem to be split on the animated vs live action new shows, and none of them would watch Picard.
It’s a real shame that there won’t be any new animated Star Trek after this season of Lower Decks.
Dave Blass said much of it was packed up in crates and shipped.
To where is the question.
Tawny is already in the writers room for Starfleet Academy as well as working as a cocreator of a new live action Star Trek comedy series in development.
It seems that she’s another alum who will be mostly behind the camera but will show up as a legacy character in other shows.
TOS ‘The Devil in the Dark’ in first run.
I was barely in school, but my slightly older neighbour who’d hooked me on Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, convinced me that Star Trek must be seen.
I quickly caught up during the hiatus reruns, and have seen absolutely all of it in first run since.
As someone who sees MS Word forms regularly force Canadians to use Month/Day/Year formats which were never native to Canada and don’t meet the ISO standard either, I am inferring the impetus transition.
But truly, I old enough to recall many standards being harmonized in the early 90s in the wake of the North American free trade agreement.
Whether or not a digital archive document demonstrates that Canada Post intentionally harmonized to match the US is TBC.
But it is a verifiable fact that the two-letter standard for provinces and territories has not been commonly established in all federal regulations or data standards or in provincial and territorial data systems standards.
That is to say, it has not been formally adopted as by Canada or as the ‘Canadian data standard.’
I hadn’t been aware that he’d also been a director for television. Truly a wide-ranging career.
The two-letter system was already in place in the United States mail system before the 80s.
It wouldn’t be the first time Canada adopted a US data standard to ease utilization of US made or standardized equipment.
It was the old form. Other than BC, the old postal short forms were 3 or 4 letters.

The 2-letter acronyms came up from the United States relatively recently.
No need to fuss about calendars. Just need to revisit Dr. Macdonald’s Temporal Mechanics 101.
There have been several temporal incursions since the DS9 crew did theirs - Voyager, Picard, SNW and Prodigy, not to mention the rippling effects of the Temporal Wars established in Enterprise and Discovery.
Dates and details can slip as long as the major events stay more or less the same.
From what I can tell Americans used to use scales for dry measures (in ounces) but somewhere along the line, they switched to volume measures for everything.
As a Canadian, it’s really frustrating because often will get the American versions of UK cookbooks here which are both not metric and not weights.
I enjoy my Australian cookbooks with metric weights.
This seems to be a non sequitur. OP is asking about where to live not where to find employment.
There are visas under the free trade agreement with the US and Mexico that enable movement of employees between the three countries. These have been in place since the 1990s.
