      he’s also a genocide apologist. suck it Hamill.

      edit: oh it’s inconvenient when it’s someone you like. I’m sure if you downvote hard enough he will go back in time to untweet his support for Israel while they were committing genocide.

    My brutal but fair take:

    I feel the bigwigs for Star Trek would sacrifice us all, in a heartbeat, for their own Grogu to get the kiddos buying merch.

      I dunno. They’ve been pretty hesitant to mass merchandise. It took Lego until this year to finally get them to license Star Trek for Lego builds. (And yes I will be buying a Lego original series enterprise bridge diorama, if the make one)

              it is important to note that none of the bones are sapient or screaming. this is not my fault.

      Here’s a few…

      Zefram Cochrane Day, also known as First Contact Day, is celebrated on April 5th in the Star Trek universe. This day commemorates the event in 2063 when Dr. Zefram Cochrane successfully launched humanity’s first warp-capable vessel, the Phoenix, and made first contact with the Vulcans, marking a pivotal moment in human history.

      James Tiberius Kirk was born in Riverside, Iowa, on March 22, 2233, where he was raised by his parents, George and Winona Kirk.

      In the Star Trek universe, the original USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was launched on April 11, 2245. It was commissioned in 2245 and began its first five-year mission of exploration.
