Today, April 5, in 2385, on First Contact Day a group of rogue synthetics destroy the Utopia Planitia Shipyards, killing 92,143 people & igniting flammable vapors in the stratosphere of Mars (Star Trek: Picard, s01e02 “Maps and Legends”, 2020)
Even admitting this means I've reached Horrible Nerd status, but I gotta admit, #StarTrek #Picard actually makes me like Picard significantly less and he's no longer in contention for Top Captain tbh.
He was cool but always had it a bit too easy IMO. Which I suppose Picard is meant to counter? But still too bleh.
Just a friendly reminder that the actress Ann Magnuson, who played Admiral Clancy in Picard, was also the lead singer of the 80s metal band Vulcan Death Grip.

Welp, I finally picked up the last linear broadcast #StarTrek series I hadn't owned yet. (Also own #Picard 1-3 & #StrangeNewWorlds 1-2)

@mookie @kurtsh Yeah, Steve Shives mentions that... hell, Rick Berman didn't like the finale himself & admitted he screwed up.
But <here it comes again> after years of Discovery, Lower Decks & Section 31, I'm getting misty for #StarTrek from a decade ago.
(Although truth be told, I liked #Picard & #StrangeNewWorlds remains tied for my favorite series of all time so...)
@lxskllr @MirrorAyako @allstartrek
Even Agnes Borg flying in to the rescue would have sufficed, damnit, #Picard didn't even recognize the development of its own characters!
@MirrorAyako @allstartrek
Wasn't Maddox killed right after being rescued? Never has a series killed so many fan favorite side characters so quickly, EXCEPT Q? Man, that show was annoying.

Remember… St. Patty's Day puns don't just shame me, they Seamus all.

St. Patrick’s Day is on Monday, so I thought I'd get a head start with some fun memes…

Update on the scripts for sorting huge amounts of music downloaded from the Internet Archive: I added a plugin for MusicBrainz Picard (a metadata/tag editor / music lookup tool) to load metadata from the Internet Archive's meta.xml files before doing the lookup. This makes it much more likely to be able to find a match:
