Every Trekkie knows since Kahn recognized Chekov in "Star Trek II" they must have met during the events of "Space Seed" even though that was a S1 episode of TOS and Chekov wasn't introduced until S2. But what this comic presupposes is...maybe they didn't? =P #StarTrek #StarTrekFanArt #Webcomic

A 3-panel comic depicting the following:

Panel 1: An older Khan meets Chekov saying, "But you...I never forget a face, Mister...Chekov! Isn't it?"

Panel 2: 18 years prior, during the event of "Space Seed," Khan is looking up at something, saying to himself, "Hmm. So this is who they regard as one of their top men."

Panel 3: In a large utility room, a huge portrait of Pavel Chekov hangs on the wall as he has been named Cadet of the Month. Khan tells his associates, "We must eliminate this man on sight before he stirs up any trouble." Meanwhile, Chekov is proceeding to hide himself in a utility locker for the duration of "Space Seed."

Very. Sadly, they're ubiquitous. No. No. Lots of welfare and communal coddling (which doesn't count as socialism if it's for them).

What if, during the late Cold War, a random Soviet captain sailed a frigate right up to the shores of Florida, lit up the old Saturn V on display at KSC, then buzzed off w/o ever being challenged by the US Navy...? XD #StarTrek #StarTrekFanArt #Webcomic #comic #art

"Interplanetary Incident"
A 3-panel comic:

Panel 1: A display illustrates where in the solar system the space probe Pioneer 10 was destroyed. A news anchor that looks a little like the Andorian version of Walter Cronkite says, "Today, a Klingon Warship penetrated Sol's Inner Oort Cloude; mere minures from Earth at high warp."

Panel 2: A close up of Andorian Walter Cronkite as he continues, "The vessel then fired upon and destroyed UNESCO heritage artifact Pioneer 10, Humanity's first effort to explore their outer solar system, before escaping without interception of bursuit by Starfleet."

Cell 3: Andorian Walter Cronkite contines talking from a screen located inside an office, "...Starfleet Command has yet to issue any comment on the violation of Sol Space...." Through the office door, The Admiral's adjutant steps in and says, "Admiral, the Federation President has 'requested' your audience." The Admiral himself is pinching his nose in exasperation over the situation. On his desk sits a bottle and glass filled with a blue, alcoholic beverage.

But if one is a scumbag Republican who wants all the lessers dead so they can harvest what little money they have, declaring all the people who are the biggest net contributers of insurance pools to be frauds and kicking them off is an excellent way to completely collapse the whole system.

I'm still mad that The Nice Guys has never gotten any sequels to date. With that being said... P.S. (There's a disturbing lack of good 'Head' gifs on BSky. And No! Not THAT kind of Head!)

To be brutally honest, I'm hoping no one. I'm holding out for an era of Trek which realizes that the Trek universe can be so much bigger and doesn't *have* to be shackled, focused, or even caring about characters/actors who were big in previous eras.

Any questions as to why Ben Shapiro utterly failed to become a sucessful screenplay writer (despite family connections within the industry) are instantly answered just by watching Benny-boy's hilariously inept attempts to analyze the media he watches. "Clown show" is an understatement.

The fantasy: AI becomes sapient, takes over the nukes itself, and wages war against Humanity. The reality: AI becomes the equivalent of a drunken, street-corner pseudo-prophet that Humanity decides to take seriously for some reason. Weren't there multiple TOS episodes with similar premises?

Here's something slightly different. I finally got around to building a wall display for my LEGO Saturn V model. I also took the liberty to redesign the J-2 engines since the official LEGO design...wasn't great. XD #LEGO #Legorockets #LegoMOCs

A wall display for the Saturn-V LEGO model. Each stage is separated and displayed individually at a dutch angle along with a title card containing information on each stage. The stages are stacked up towards a mosaic of the Moon to emphasize how much it takes to get comparatively little to Trans Lunar Injection.

I'm stuck on how all those guys are made to appear like they're descending from Heaven to regard Charlie Kirk (who's notably been kept out) as a novelty museum piece. 😭 Compositional literacy truly is dead.

Has anyone else long been bothered by how poorly it speaks to Federation security that a Klingon combat vessel was able to get within 2 light-days of Earth (just an 8.4 minute hop at Warp 7), blow up a UNESCO heritage artifact right in our back yard, then buzz off with *no one* noticing? 😆

I'm going to really hate myself if it turns out I'm incorrect, but to my eye, #1 looks like your image while #2 looks to be AI. The tone and lighting in #2 look 'upscaled' in weird ways and her face is kinda stretched.
