In "The Lights of Zetar," Memory Alpha appeared to be a computer center, whereas in "Labyrinths," the Archive is full of printed books.
These last few years, physical books (and also LP record players) have become more common on Star Trek. It reflects a change in attitude between 1969 and now about the importance of physical media vs. digital copies for preservation and enjoyment.
The Eternal Gallery and Archive is a gorgeous library. I want to go and live there.
The last episode of #StarTrekDiscovery reminded me of Tenant-era #DoctorWho .
Also, I would like to get that pendant Hy‘Rell and Book are wearing in „Labyrinths“. It‘s a book and it‘s cool.

Three things about Elena Juatco:
🖖 She was great as Hy‘Rell in DISCO‘s „Labyrinths“, which is a great character as well.
🫶 We have the same first name. Yay! Now I only need to find out how she pronounces hers.
🎤 She‘s a singer and has an album: „Beyond this Line“

As the Betazoid language seen in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Labyrinths" is based on a simple cipher, I was able to translate almost all the text on this page from "Labyrinths of the Mind". It's an interesting tale of early Betazoid spacefarers encountering non-telepathic aliens.
I spent the last five hours deciphering the Betazoid language in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Labyrinths". Somebody put much work into creating the Betazoid font and writing the interesting text. If you only come here to say that you hate that it's a simple cipher, I swear, I'll block you!
Nice to see Disco cracking the top 10 of original streaming shows. I like to think the powers that be pay attention to that.

My absolutely, ABSOLUTELY favourite moment in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Labyrinths"↖️↗️ was when Jett Reno made a Hysperian reference, acknowledging the species introduced on #StarTrekLowerDecks ("Where Pleasant Fountains Lie"➡️⬇️). That was hilarious, befitting and sooo overdue! :-)

Despite being an inexperienced Starfleet cadet, Sylvia Tilly became essential to the USS Discovery finding …
When I was asking my fedi friends for cozy Trek novel recommendations, this was one of the books recommended to me. I was a bit skeptical about the book because of Tilly's not so good relationship with her mother. Something that I have struggled with all my life as well, I did not want to read a story about it. I feared it would be really uncomfortable and upsetting. I was reassured that that was not a big focus of the book (and it really isn't), so I got the audio book of it and... was a sobbing mess for the first part of it. LOL
So it did not start out very cozy and happy for me at all. LOL Part of that was due to how Tilly's mother behaves towards her, but a big part of it was due to how Tilly struggles at her school. I saw …

So it did not start out very cozy and happy for me at all. LOL Part of that was due to how Tilly's mother behaves towards her, but a big part of it was due to how Tilly struggles at her school. I saw myself in her so much. I cried for Tilly as much as I cried for myself. (Reading Trek novels has been very revelatory, cathartic, and therapeutic for me recently. 😅)
The rest of the book, which is the majority, was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed watching Tilly find her confidence, which she puts to the test in the end when she confronts her mother about her plans for the future. I loved her grandparents a lot. Salla, the engineer she meets, was a great character as well. I also liked Ms Keith, the teacher. I just realise, Tilly meets a number of women to mentor her or help her out, where her mother can't.
This is a pretty low stakes, fun book. And if you aren't quite so easily upset about all the things that went wrong in your childhood and youth as I am, you shouldn't be sobbing so much either. Tilly has been one of my top favourite Trek characters and this book only confirmed that. I am very glad I finally read/ listened to it. Thank you, friends, for recommending it to me! 🙂
That I consider January LaVoy to be the queen of audiobook narration is no secret. This book is just another reason in a long list to support that.
Una McCormack talked to Literary Treks about the book. Worth a listen, as always.

Content warning #StarTrekDiscovery Erigah spoilers
I love this callback to #StarTrekDS9's "Emissary" (2nd row) and "Way of the Warrior" (3rd row) in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Erigah" (1st row). Commander Rayner really knows his #DS9 and how to fool enemies using thoron emitters and duranium shadows! :-)
Today, May 11, 2256, on Stardate 1207.3, the crew of the USS Shenzhou investigate a damaged interstellar relay in deep space and discover an unidentified object (Star Trek: Discovery, s01e01 “The Vulcan Hello”, 2017)
Star Trek's Instagram shared this behind-the-scenes photo, and I'm obsessed.
