Supposedly, this will open on May 27, 2024: https://arstechnica.com/culture/202...estored-star-trek-1701-d-bridge-opens-in-may/ ("The restored Star Trek Enterprise-D bridge goes on display in May
The bridge is going on display at Sci-Fi World Musem in Santa Monica, California.")

I haven't followed the saga of its restoration. I'll need to hear if it's legit and worth visiting before make the ~330 mile trek there...

The person there posted a pointer to this crazy story about it from the LA Times:
"Santa Monica sci-fi museum controversy: A child porn conviction, delays and angry 'Star Trek' fans" :O

Variety: In another casting coup, the upcoming Paramount+ series "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" has cast Emmy winner and multiple Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti in a recurring guest role as the first season's main villain, who has a sinister connection to the past of one of the (yet to be cast) cadets.

They are getting some A-list actors for this show.

The return of Nicholas Locarno?

Further, could this also fuel some after story involving Boothby?

BL.

After some recent events, including a trip where I think well more than half of the people on the subway did nothing but stare at their phones, it brought to mind the TNG episode, "The Game," which was eerily prescient about how absorbed people can be with their devices.

To jog memories, it was one of two episodes a young Ashley Judd appeared on, and, Wesley wasn't terribly annoying. :D

On that note, there's an FB page https://www.facebook.com/EveryTNGFrameInOrder that literally does just that with subtitles on. So frames of TNG eps show up in my feed. "The Game" was quite awhile ago and some of the frames w/subtitles taken out of context from that ep were pretty funny.

Here are a few in kinda random order:

Someone posted
"Modern Trailer for Star Trek Generations, originally released in 1994." in a Picard FB group. I'd not seen it before but it's apparently 3 years old. It's quite well done.
