The price is kind of insane, as I remember getting a 6-pack of those Bodum cups and the teapot for only €12! They were good, economically priced cups.

Alas, I only have a tall one left that I got when I got my Bodum French press coffee pot.

Before Patrick Stewart signed on, we may have gotten a Borg (or xB) show with a focus on Hugh and Seven of Nine. Sounds like it was really early stages, though.

The guy who played Hugh the Borg had very pointed things to say about bodily autonomy.

I believe in healthcare, I believe in a person’s body autonomy… I dare say the other side doesn’t believe in body autonomy, because they have taken it away from women across the country. So we could go down the line of how it aligns. Sometimes I’m very surprised to talk to anyone that is a fan of Star Trek that doesn’t see the similarities between the kind of two ideologies of what America is… [And in terms of the event] What’s great about Star Trek is this sort of opportunity to have fun and also make a change.

He’s quite a gem of a person.

It happens. The Osthaus Musem has a portait of me that was made ~40 years before I was born.

That clip would also pair well with the “Hamilton” soundtrack. Riker needs a right hand man!

being a borg is easy Picard, living as a human is harder.

I thought about this some more. A probable reason as to why there are so few McCoy avatars is that humanitarian types likely prefer more significant media to sci-fi, and would be more likely to choose a different avatar. Whereas logician types likely have seen and enjoyed Star Trek and a subset may have identified with Spock’s battle of logic vs. emotion.

Since when? I can definitely say this was not my perception of my mom and her sci-fi trekkie friends? But maybe since that time it has shifted? I feel like the humanitarian message of Star Trek has been lost overall though and generally culture has stopped celebrating humanism while elevating inhumane inability to feel as a virtue and sign of superior intellect.

Agreed. And to the detriment of society.
