You’re tripping yourself up on the difference between British English and American English. Canadian English is tolerant of both forms.
Oxford, where he wrote his thesis, would require ‘an’ before ‘historic’. When Governor of Bank of England, he would have had to have been careful to use British English.
If you’re a Canadian using American spelling and grammar checkers to define your language, you might wish to reconsider that. MS Word does have Canadian and UK English options.
The production values are sufficiently high that it makes me think it might actually be from an episode to come.
Just be sure to wash and block before connecting the blocks.
I love making samples, so working up 8 x 8” / 20 x 20 cm samples of a lot of different stitches is fun for me.
There’s an old Bernat pattern that I have for an Afghan made of squares of very many different classic crochet stitches. It’s a great practice and skill building project.
If you choose a good palette of solid colour yarn, it works out nicely. If that kind of throw isn’t the kind of thing you like in your home, they’re always a gift or charity option.
Did I miss the actual Protostar announcement?
This is very cool. 😎
Thanks for bringing this here VS.
Saw Tatosky’s thread on Mastodon. It really gives a much better sense of how ‘real’ the preproduction was under Fuller.
Lots of expenditure clearly but badly managed.
Tamara Deverell talked about having little to spend when she took over after the pilot because the initial sets were built on the designs Fuller signed off on.
No engineering but a bay to hand load missiles! Which she repurposed to Stamets’ spore lab.
TIL that the Voyager app doesn’t support custom emojis🤯
I’d say definitely more than adjacent as it sounds like he’s been the CBS Studios side suit opposite Kurtzman who’s been running the production company responsible for the Star Trek franchise.
My thoughts exactly.
It would be great if they could bring Kim & Lippoldt back as showrunners/EPs and get someone else to direct it.
Nice to see Loops getting traction.
The thing is that while the technobabble is just that, the process represents how engineering gets done better than most other ‘serious’ SF, albeit at compressed speed.
Voyager did a better job than any at showing how the thinking and problem-solving work gets done - which to me is more the point.
All this criticism seems to come from folks who’ve never seen nerds working in teams being nerds. They seem to want science FICTION to be locked down to concepts that someone with a mid 20th bachelor’s degree in science would know.
Whereas the real life scientists and engineers in my circle react more like Erin Macdonald did when she was working on her physics PhD and saw Voyager. She recognized the process and thought it was cool that some of the newer concepts in gravimetrics were referenced but didn’t sweat the small stuff.
I’m still seeing this as an active posting, linked on other UN pages e.g.,

However, a similar claim in January was found to be false by fact checking news orgs.
The EPs have mentioned in interviews that the alternate version will be a bonus feature on the DVDs/BlueRay/UHD disc sets.
I don’t think you needed [sic], just the comma that StarTrek.com omitted.
So, this is a big reveal - the scenario is a planet that has not been but now is a part of the Federation.
The viewpoint is civilian.
The resort workplace setting, like the old Loveboat or Fantasy Island, means that anyone can come by as the guest star.
