Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • Looking at the website, there are a couple of Trek-related things TrekCore didn’t mention:

    Inside Jim Henson’s Creature Shop (maybe Trek-related?)

    Fri, Oct 9, 2026

    12:45 PM - 1:30 PM

    North-Room 408

    For the first time ever, Jim Henson’s Creature Shop has opened its doors to the public for tours, encouraging everyone to be inspired by the art of puppetry, the craft of puppet building, and the legacy of Jim Henson. Join the New York Creature Shop’s Creative Supervisor Jason Weber, the Shop Director Melissa Crichton, and puppeteers and builders from the Shop’s newly launched tour as they talk about the history of this iconic must-see hub of imagination. The panel will also share a peek into the Shop’s exclusive location and answer the burning puppet-building questions we all have: How does a monster eat all those cookies? How does a Fraggle swim in a pond? And many more!

    Star Trek Fan Meetup!

    Sat, Oct 10, 2026

    1:00 PM - 1:45 PM

    South Concourse Cosplay Meetups

    Come dressed as your favorite Star Trek character, show off your best uniform, or simply stop by to meet fellow Trekkies and cosplayers. All Star Trek series, eras, and characters are welcome! While cosplay is highly encouraged, it’s never required.








  • Voyager: “Nemesis”

    This is actually a very interesting pick - I tend to think it’s a mistake to try to start someone on an episode that would be considered among “the best,” since after that there’s nowhere to go but down. “Nemesis” fits the bill of something that’s reasonably interesting without being spectacular.

    I’m very bad at answering the core question, but I think the beauty of the franchise is that it has a little of everything to offer, and you can tailor recommendations to the person’s tastes.

    Do they like medical dramas? Procedural mysteries? Musicals? Gritty war stories? There’s something in there for everyone.



  • found that it did

    How so?

    Every one commits treason who, in Canada,

    • uses force or violence for the purpose of overthrowing the government of Canada or a province;

    Not so far…

    • without lawful authority, communicates or makes available to an agent of a state other than Canada, military or scientific information or any sketch, plan, model, article, note or document of a military or scientific character that he knows or ought to know may be used by that state for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or defence of Canada;

    Maybe? I don’t see military or scientific secrets being described here, but I’m open to the possiblity if there’s any evidence.

    • conspires with any person to commit high treason or to do anything mentioned in paragraph (a);

    Again, not so far.

    • forms an intention to do anything that is high treason or that is mentioned in paragraph (a) and manifests that intention by an overt act; or

    Again, not so far.

    • conspires with any person to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) or forms an intention to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) and manifests that intention by an overt act.

    And that’s another maybe, but I don’t see anything in this article that screams “military or scientific secrets.”
