FedCon 30 in Bonn!

Definitely the nerdiest thing I have done in a very long time, but it was so fun to be at a huge convention with so many fellow Sci-Fi fans in Germany. FedCon is Europe’s largest Star Trek convention and apparently way more manageable than the big Con in Las Vegas. I only had two day passes, but I enjoyed the panels and plunked down the absurd amount of cash to have my photos taken with Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes. And it was all in the name of research for my new work on feminist utopias.

My life just got a lot better...

Okay, so this news made my day. While I loved both Discovery and Picard, and have to say I did miss the episodic nature of the old series and its optimism. With so much bad news in the world, I really didn’t need Picard to shake my faith in humanity. And I am thrilled that Anson Mount will be returning as Pike. Now if only they could get Jason Isaacs to come back to Discovery.
