I hoped for Barclay but it’s Beverly Crusher.

    I really would love for this community to implement tags of some kind. I honestly couldn’t care less about what characters are doing in the comics.

    I can’t be the only one getting a little tired of clickbaity headlines like this exploiting the ambiguity.

    Edit: Big props to OP for editing the title.

          There are several of us who would like eventually to see a Treklit community here for books and comics.

          We’re still a ways away from having the numbers to make that viable so we’re all together with the shows in the main Star Trek community for now.

          Lemmy doesn’t yet offer functional tags unfortunately. Best to keep our sense of humour as most of us do our best to use the titles to distinguish.

                We’re definitely open to it, but aren’t usually in the habit of hounding people over it, if you know what I mean. As we become more established, we might be able to make some organic connections, and follow up on some from the Reddit days.

                As for a Treklit community…it’s probably too soon for one, but the best way to make the case for one is to have a lot of Treklit engagement in c/startrek. We want to see that in general, which is why we’ve been trying the weekly comics post.

                  I’m enjoying the weekly comics posts.

                  We usually wait to get the omnibus editions rather than order one by one. (Our local independent comic book store does better with special ordering those although they carry the occasional individual issue.)

                  So it’s good to get user reviews to help decide which ones to invest in.

                  I’ll try to get some book reviews up of the new releases. We got in all the Prodigy books as a show of support, so I was planning to give them a quick read.

    don’t understand Barclay stans.

    He was problematic AF and then when he did have confidence, he was always a bit of a dick. And he had the absolute worse combover in starfleet.

    Command and medical are two separate tracks though. Would a captain of a hospital ship need a medical degree?

    I was reeeeeeaaaallly hoping for a Barclay cameo in Picard. Alas, poor Barclay never gets a break.

      Barclay’s actor has become a truly odious person in real life –– I don’t think the TNG cast (Stewart in particular) would have agreed to have him on the show.

      “All Good Things…”? PIC S3? Hell, she was the ranking officer of the Enterprise-D in “Descent”.

      It wouldn’t shock me if the Federation had a fleet of medical ships captained by doctors.
