I read the books and lined them up The show deviates from the books and should be considered “inspired by” That said, the show is made by people who also truly loved the books and characters, and they did a great job making an adaptation
Years back I saw Dessa open for another show. Fell in love with Skeleton Key
Started watching TOS in reruns in the late 70s and 80s.
I was a very lonely teenager in a blue collar, uneducated family when TNG premiered. I watched every episode of the first season alone in the dark on an old B&W tv as they were watching other stuff on the good TV.
TNG opened my eyes to a world of possibility, the diversity and wonder of life, leadership, and aspiring to something bigger than my small world.
There was plenty of criticism about the Wesley Crusher character in those early years, but as smart nerdy boy, I was grateful to see his character and how he was treated by the Geordi, Data and others. Gave me hope
Decades later, introducing my kids to TNG has been one of my greatest pleasures in life. They know and love the characters as I do.
Rachel Garrett? Good
Young Rachel Garrett origin story? Great!
Rachel Garrett without red hair? Hmmmmm
I’ll add “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” by Taylor. It’s a bonus track on Midnights and easily could’ve been the title track on a different album
Today is your cake day, @valuesubtracted
I’m sure all the extremist conservatives and libertarians living in that area will be happy to get by on their own without any government support

Same for me, but add:
I’ve got one on the sump pump and crawl space. China is welcome to monitor that and report anything interesting
I tried it twice and succeeded the second time.

I recall the saying the Viet Nam fought the US for 10 years, France for 100 years and china for 1,000 years.
Makes sense they’d make up with us first
It’s amazing how many things he’s predicted (or noticed and predicted would become mainstream) over the years.
Bitcoin, metaverse, the importance of cryptography in modern IT, monetized streaming video, …
The opening scene of that movie is some of the best Trek ever made. I say that as someone who’s been watching since 1987
As someone who’s read the entire Wheel of Time series multiple times, I get it. I love it, but I get it.
Mat and Rand would probably be able to explain it better though if they were on here
High King Margot is a great answer
For me, I thought of Linda Carter’s Wonder Woman and then Captain Rachel Garrett, commander of the USS Enterprise, 1701-C
