Because I am a fan of Jean-Luc Picard, it doesn’t mean Earl Grey is my favorite tea. Well, it is my favorite tea, but not because I am a fan of Jean-Luc Picard.

Reunion (TNG S04E07)
Reunion fell back on a tried-and-true TNG trope; two warring factions with the Enterprise caught in the middle. But this time? Each character had stakes. They had motivations. And the drama was incredible.

LEGO w końcu to zrobiło. Enterprise-D wjeżdża na salony
Przez lata fani „Star Treka” patrzyli z zazdrością na kolegów i koleżanki z obozu „Gwiezdnych Wojen”, którzy co miesiąc dostawali nowe X-Wingi i Sokoły Millennium. Ale ten czas się skończył.
Duńczycy oficjalnie weszli w uniwersum Gene’a Roddenberry’ego i robią to z przytupem. USS Enterprise-D trafia na sklepowe półki.
To historyczny moment. LEGO, które przez dekady omijało tę franczyzę (licencję trzymały inne firmy), wreszcie dostarcza to, na co czekali AFOL-e (Adult Fans of LEGO). Zestaw przedstawiający statek klasy Galaxy z „Następnego Pokolenia” to nie zabawka, ale potężny model ekspozycyjny, który zajmie honorowe miejsce w salonie każdego geeka i fana kultowej, kosmicznej serii.
3600 elementów czystej nostalgii
Model składa się z 3600 klocków i po złożeniu mierzy blisko 60 cm długości. To kawał statku. Co ważne, projektantom udało się oddać charakterystyczne, obłe kształty Enterprise’a, co w świecie kanciastych klocków jest nie lada wyzwaniem.
Największy „bajer”? Możliwość odłączenia spodka! Tak jak w serialu, sekcja talerza (Saucer Section) może oddzielić się od kadłuba inżynieryjnego. Projektanci ukryli tam nawet miniaturowy prom, który spina obie części. Budowa tego kolosa to wyzwanie na około 9-10 godzin dla doświadczonych składaczy – idealnie, by w tle odpalić maraton ulubionych odcinków TNG.
Załoga w komplecie (jest nawet kot)
LEGO nie oszczędzało na minifigurkach. Dostajemy kompletną obsadę mostka: Picarda, Rikera, Troi, Worfa, La Forge’a, Datę, Dr. Crusher, a nawet Wesleya (w jego słynnym sweterku) i Guinan.
Diabeł tkwi w akcesoriach. Picard ma swoją filiżankę z herbatą („Earl Grey, hot”), a Riker… puzon. Jest nawet Spot – rudy kot Daty. To detale, które sprawiają, że fani serii uśmiechną się pod nosem.
Tanio nie jest, ale czy ktoś się łudził?
Luksus posiadania Gwiezdnej Floty w domu kosztuje. Cena zestawu w oficjalnym sklepie LEGO online to 1650 zł. To dużo, ale biorąc pod uwagę rozmiar, licencję i fakt, że to pierwszy taki zestaw w historii, chętnych raczej nie zabraknie.
Czy to początek nowej serii? Tego nie wiemy, ale jeśli Enterprise-D sprzeda się dobrze, być może wkrótce zobaczymy Voyagera albo Defianta. Jest też zła wiadomość. Zgodnie z informacją wyświetlaną przez oficjalny sklep LEGO online, choć zestaw można już zamówić. to na razie jest on oferowany w przedsprzedaży, a wysyłka ma się rozpocząć dopiero 10 lutego 2026 roku. Na Gwiazdkę z prezentem się nie wyrobimy.
Gry wideo zbliżają rodziny? Nowe badanie LEGO pokazuje zmianę w zabawie

The phrase "Number One" in Star Trek has a rich and evolving history intertwined with both naval tradition and the franchise’s own storytelling innovation.
### Origins in Star Trek
- The term first appears in the unaired 1965 pilot episode "The Cage" as the only name for the character portrayed by Majel Barrett, who served as Captain Christopher Pike’s First Officer on the USS Enterprise. She was simply addressed as “Number One,” highlighting her position as the second-in-command but also lending a mysterious, almost mechanical distinction to her character[1][2][3].
- NBC resisted having a woman in such a prominent role, leading to her removal from the regular series. Much of her logical and emotionally restrained personality was then assigned to Spock in later episodes[1][4].
### Evolution and Significance
- The character of Number One was revived in modern Star Trek—notably in Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds—with the name Una Chin-Riley and much deeper development[5][4][2]. The nickname “Number One” remains a sign of exceptional competence and respect, reflecting both her role and unique talents.
- The phrase later became widespread throughout the franchise as a general nickname for a starship’s First Officer. This was cemented by Captain Picard’s routine use of “Number One” for Commander Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation and has been adopted or referenced for various First Officers, such as Saru in Discovery[2][6][7].
### Real-World and Non-Star Trek Usage
- The phrase does not originate in Star Trek, but is actually borrowed from the British Royal Navy, where “Number One” refers to the First Lieutenant—second-in-command aboard a ship and commonly called “Number One” as a form of address[3][7]. Star Trek adapted this naval tradition for its futuristic starships.
- The use of “Number One” outside of Star Trek is uncommon in popular culture but remains standard in naval and occasionally other military settings to mean the person next in command after the Captain[3][7].
### Changing Meanings
- In-universe, “Number One” can be both a sign of rank (First Officer/Executive Officer) and a personal nickname, especially for Una Chin-Riley. Star Trek novels and more recent series have explored it as both a shorthand for her outstanding qualities and as a callback to her mysterious, logic-driven persona[2][4].
- The usage of “Number One” as a routine address has become a mix of Star Trek tradition and narrative choice. Some captains (like Kirk or Janeway) prefer personal names, while the Picard/Riker “Number One” dynamic has become iconic within the franchise[7].
In summary: Star Trek popularized “Number One” as an affectionate, distinguished nickname for the First Officer, inspired by real naval tradition, starting with Majel Barrett’s iconic character and later broadening to represent Starfleet’s second-in-command. The phrase’s blending of real-world and science fiction meanings has helped it resonate far beyond its Star Trek beginnings[1][4][7].

This unedited scene from #StarTrek #TheNextGeneration's episode "Relics" with Deanna Troi and Scotty that was left on the #TheCuttingRoomFloor feels clunky and awkward, but one of the comments stood out to me: "I wonder how many other scenes of Deanna actually doing her job, have been edited out."

Well, @AlsoPaisleyCat asked for a #Moopsy themed cereal ad-read for the Moopsy Anniversary. It's also #StarTrekDay so why not. I re-wrote the old Moopsy ad that I did and switched it up a little. Got off a long day of talking at work so my jaw and mouth are a lil tired so things might sound a lil off. I also didn't bother speeding up the warning this time and it'll become obvious as to why. Enjoy?
And don't worry. Last one for a *while*

CW: Star Trek microfiction inspired by TNG in-take, alcohol misuse reference (1600+ chars long)
Setting the scene is this #inTake (an out-take that's been edited back into the original clip) from #StarTrek #TheNextGeneration: https://youtu.be/qsVO9EPhpFc (Ryan's Edits: Star Trek INtakes #143, "Riker Rolls With It".)
"Damn it", Geordi muttered to himself as he headed towards the turbolift, "this is the last time I'm going to haul his drunk ass home again... He knows he can't handle his Romulan Ale."
"Computer, location of Commander Riker?", Geordi asked with a sigh, as the turbolift doors whooshed open.
"Commander Riker is in Shuttle Bay 2," the computer answered.
"Huh, I guess the drunken fool thought he could pop off to Risa... again... good thing we installed those breathalysers after the last time; don't want to have yet another incident like we had with that Vidiian ambassador... he really got under her skin."
Geordi chuckled to himself at the pun, but then quickly shuddered as he remembered the holophotos."Alright, go home, you're drunk Will", he started with an exasperated groan, recovering quickly with "... 'you ever have a day without bugs popping up', is what I said to the computer after it garbled up your message, sir! So, I figured I'd just head on over here STAT before I have a look at the comms systems. What seems to be the issue?"
'Nice save', LaForge thought to himself, 'better double-check with the computer next time before I assume he's off his rocket again next time... So glad his name also acts as a verb!'#STTNG #outTakes #bloopers #WillRiker #JonathanFrakes #GeordiLaForge #fiction #microFiction #FanFiction #FiXatoWrites #FiXatoCreative

We've all seen them.
The small 'L' left who say they care and then say, but the #youngPeople, I see hope in #theNextGeneration to turn things around.
Its a common trope. We see #mediaTrained sophists use it all the time, too.
They are in there 30s, 40s and 50s. But are satisfied to not #beTheChange they want to see.

CW: Star Trek: Picard, S1E2, Synthetic Lifeform slavery
The treatment of the Synths at #UtopiaPlanitia irks me.
Didn't #Picard warn against this exact use of #SyntheticLifeforms during the trial regarding #Data's sentience in the #StarTrek #TheNextGeneration episode #TheMeasureOfAMan? ¹
They're created in the image of humans, dressed like them, and put to work like/instead of them, but not treated as such, even though sentience was considered too hard to prove/disprove.1/
