It's amazing how the musical episode of Strange New Worlds, "Subspace Rhapsody", came out 18 months ago, and I'm still discovering clever little things when I listen to it for the umpteenth time.

I took me weeks to realize, back then, that my two favorite songs were the *same song*, just in a different key and style.

Today I realized that the two songs even start with, aaargh, *the same line*.

Two *billion* in cuts.

This feels more like a strip mining operation. And I suspect the only ore veins investors care about are #StarTrek, #TopGun, and #SouthPark. (And maybe #BeavisAndButtHead, but let's not dwell on that.)

Why do I get the nasty feeling #STSNW will be the only Trek show left standing after all this?

Round 1: 8/8

15. Una Chin-Riley served as the First Officer of the USS Enterprise under Captain Pike. The original "Number One", she also appears in Strange New Worlds. Efficient and an exemplar to others, but known as "Where fun goes to die" by the crew.

18. Tysess is the first officer of the USS Dauntless under Admiral Janeway, he serves to temper her emotional responses and has to deal with several strange situations.

I think it helped that I'm up to date on my Star Trek shows. If I had stuck to the classics I would have missed it.
BTW, did you see that Discovery was canceled? Frankly, I'm not going to miss it.
My current favorites are #STSNW and #LowerDecks
I'm watching Star Trek Prodigy now. It's got some fun parts & I'm liking the character development as well as exploring the principles of the Star Fleet.
