Actually no. And it kind of would fly in the face of what I get out of the activity.

I don’t knit or crochet to any target, I just like the experience of the activity. It’s soothing. I have a few different projects on the go that give me different kinds of experiences.

When used to sew clothes for myself, I would parcel out the expected hours for the specific type of project if I needed to have something done for a particular event, but not with knitting, crochet or needlepoint.

Given the cost of the archival footage upgrades for the DS9 documentary ‘What we left behind’, it’s really surprising that they didn’t work from the LDs as one of their sources.

Good to know that the Voyager LDs exist even if compiling a complete set may be the challenge.

I’m very interested to see how they build out this species.

Given it’s so far in the franchise future, there was always the possibility he was another mixed species character, but having a connection with legacy species that’s been largely undeveloped, is a better choice.

@virtualbri@mastodon.online really needs to see this. I know he liked one of your other laserdisc captures.

This is truly awesome, and the raw, un-upscaled analogue image data seems like a far better point of departure to reconstruct higher resolution DS9.

I hope he can see this post and thread via my tag to his Mastadon ID.

I have to ask whether you have any Voyager on LD as well…

I’m flabbergasted. There’s an astonishing amount of erasure in that panel.

How about ?

Actually, TrekMovie makes the case that the references in the reply to the need to ‘time things out’ for the franchise was the answer. I would parse that as their having other Star Trek franchise products ahead in the queue.

The person asking really let Cheeks off the hook though with their final question being, “Is Trek still a priority for the company?”.

No matter how specific the preceding preamble was to Legacy, the question they got to was super general and let Cheeks take it wherever he wanted.

Sometimes, he delegates.

You are so missing out on the wonder that is Sam Kirk.

SNW has a lot delightful surprises, but adding the insouciance of Sam Kirk, but having brothers Kirk spar when Jim shows up on occasion, is truly inspired writing.

Not to mention he really gets under Spock’s skin.

I was surprised too.

It’s a journey. You may find that a wide variety of neurological and muscle issues ease or vanish with a super strict GF diet. There’s also evidence that within 5 years of starting a true GF diet many with celiac find that other food intolerances wane or disappear.

I just bought a gluten free cookbook that comes highly recommended called ‘The Gluten Free Cook’ by Cristian Broglia, an Italian chef, who looked for naturally gluten free recipes from around the world. This seems to be the kind of thing that might be useful to you. (Haven’t really tried much in it myself yet.)

One cookbook that I find super reliable is ‘Healthy Gluten Free Eating’ by Davina Allen and Rosemary Kearney of the Ballymaloe Cooking School in Cork, Ireland. Ireland has the highest prevalence of celiac in the world and the Chef’s school there has been at the forefront of developing workable recipes.

Another cookbook that I rely on is ‘Gluten Free Flour Power’.

Last, ‘Baked to Perfection’ is a recent award winning GF baking book by a woman who was a PhD student in inorganic chemistry when she wrote it. She understands a great deal about making GF baking work and explains it in an understandable way.

As much as I like to see elements from the Relaunch novels brought to screen, in this case I pretty much knew where the chase was leading, based on the final Voyager Full Circle novel, and that took away some the wow factor of the contact with the 10C.
