So Long and Thanks For All The FanFic
Star Trek: Lower Decks will be ending its 5-season run with its finale airing on December 19, 2024. The series, which debuted to mixed, and even hostile reactions, now has a ravenous fanbase with many saying “I didn’t post a bunch of angry, hateful comments to various social medias - I’ve always loved this show, what are you talking about?! Also, who are you?! Where did you come from?! What’s with the duck?!” Lower Decks is the brainchild of series creator and 5 koalas in a man-suit, Mike McMahan. Throughout its run, the series poked fun at numerous beloved Trek tropes, while bludgeoning others to death. The Lower Deckers have given us new, memorable characters, while reuniting us with legacy fan-favorites. To say the series will be missed is an understatement, but as one omnipotent trickster once said, “All good things must come to an end.” And who knows, if the nerd gods smile upon us, perhaps we’ll see them return one day as “Lowerer Decks.”
Editor’s note: This is my own special thank you to Mike McMahan and Co. Whether he reads this or not, I’m putting it into the universe, Lower Decks is my wife’s favorite Star Trek. While she’s always been a nerd, she hasn’t always been a Star Trek fan. The love, care; devotion you and your talented team brought to Lower Decks is nothing short of spectacular. What I’m saying is, the continued success of my marriage hinges solely on Lower Decks, and without it I may need to crash on y’all’s couch.
What I’m also saying is: Thank you. May you all Live Long and Prosper.

Make It Sew
And now, a fluff piece about tailoring for some reason… Noted British Frenchman, Jean-Luc Picard, is celebrating this week with the 40th anniversary of his tailors’ shop on Deep Space Nine. Picard, who still has all his original organs, began his tailoring career when he was less arrogant and undisciplined. Over the course of his career, he was never noticed by anyone, which is a wonder his shop has remained in business so long. Especially during the Bajoran Occupation when the station was a mining platform. Picard, with life-mate, Garak are very proud of their achievements and the life they’ve made together. The punctual tailor had this to say, ‘Dammit Q, what have you done to me now?!’ Ha-ha… strange man.
