Day 28: Favourite Kelvin Timeline Moment
The Kelvin timeline. Lovely designs. Great characters. Good one-liners. Horrible plot chasms in the stories that ruin each one of them for me. So very many plot chasms. Terrible, terrible plot chasms. So, back to one of those lovely designs, and the introduction of Yorktown in Star Trek: Beyond. Utterly ridiculous "snow globe in space" but immensely pretty.

Day 24: Character You Would Date
People may think opposites attract, but you get on better with people with similar personalities. Based on the fact that on day 18 I said I consider I'm most like Michael Eddington it should come as no surprise to see I've picked Ro Laren for today's subject. Argumentative, tough, fighting the good fight, prepared to disobey orders. Oh, we'd make a fearsome couple.

Day 21: Best Overall Space Vessel
Species 8472 Bioship
Not only are they powerful, and not only can they open quantum singularities between normal and fluidic space, but they also conjure up fond memories of the Vorlon ships from Babylon 5, and that's always going to be a good thing.

Day 20: Best Trek Tech
Warp drive. Without it there's no meeting other species, no exploring other planets, no shenanigans in nebulae or gaseous anomalies, no breaking the upper threshold of speed, no transforming into a salamander, no getting jiggy with your captain, and no abandoning your offspring in a swamp.

Day 10: Most Shocking Moment
I've gone with this small scene from The Motion Picture. A genuinely disturbing minute of the movie that's stuck in the memory since first viewing just from the sound of that scream and the implication of how much pain is being felt. I can't think of another death in the franchise quite so horribly drawn out.

Day 8: Favourite Federation Enemy
Xindi-Reptilian
(I know: technically pre-Federation)
Aggressive, powerful and power-seeking, cruel, but with flashes of questioning their mission against Earth, it's mostly the Xindi-Reptilians' fashion sense that warrants this entry in my list. Shiny purple is so in right now, and the practicality of being able to dry up your plates or store your vinyl albums on your shoulders? Genius!

Day 2: Favourite Federation Race
It has to be the #Andorians and that's mostly down to the brilliant depth to the character of #Shran brought by Jeffrey Combs in #Enterprise.
