    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    Oooooh, new content! More! Kruge is not a happy warrior. He stews and broods in his hatreds and grievances, and nobody will call him Uncle the way the do Kumerian. His crew is wound tight, and I would not be surprised if they prove to be brittle in the crucible of conflict. They may be loyal...

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    Is that focus more TNG, or is it DS(/VOY driven? Or even ST:E, where Archer has a whole lot less gravitas than Kirk or Picard?

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    Not necessarily. Picard ain't Will Decker. He's not Kirk, but there's no doubting he's in charge. Nor does he take time to abide by the decisions of a committee - he solicits opinions, then makes his decision, and that's it. Tapestry makes it pretty clear that the pieces of Picard's personality...

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    It's less a five-year mission and more a five-year commission. We see that emphasized in Star Trek VI, where ENTERPRISE is putting back in to "decommission" and Kirk says that ENTERPRISE and her legacy will be the custody of another crew. But ENTERPRISE is not a modern CVN - she's an age of sail...

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    I have been watching through TMP the last few nights. You're absolutely right that Decker had a better grip on the ship. But he did not have a better grip on the people or the senior staff. Scott, Uhura, Chekov and Sulu were all quite happy to have Kirk back. The pod ride with Scott showed the...

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    Not just Kirk. ANY officer senior to you on the bridge of your ship is bad juju. It is VERY hard to lay off when you are Command Material, and nobody likes being second guessed. That is especially true in a service like Star Fleet, where admirals, commodores, ambassadors and high commissioners...

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    Killing the flag captain is the price of doing business. Stealing a man's ship is not. No captain is really going to feel comfortable with Kirk on their bridge with that as his rep. Spock and Kirk expressly discuss that in Wrath of Khan. Also, ENTERPRISE and BLUE RIDGE are shes, not its.

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    Depends on the play. The Klingons would probably go for the histories, and Titus Andronicus is bound to be a great hit. The Klingons will also like the contemporary revenge plays, and a lot of the Jacobean blood plays. The traditional classics probably will not appeal, being too weak and...

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    Klingons are a fun-loving people. As we saw in TNG, especially during the Klingon Civil War, they work hard and play hard. They party with their friends, they party with their enemies. Live fast and die young is a good Klingon, and, I suspect, if today is to be a good day to die, and a warrior...

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    A nice treat to wake up to. While you have Kirk and Co., Galactive Saviors, down pat, I'm much more fascinated by your insights into Klingon society.

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    I second the @Captain-General's remarks. This story is fantabulous, and I look forward to more. Even if your Klingon bars are very tame.

    Star Trek STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP......

    Superb. A fun read. Though less boisterous and fun than the last Klingon bar I was in.

    As excellent as ever. Hopefully with new chapters coming!
