Seems like something they could've released a couple of days before Halloween?

How about we carve a Spock or Picard or Mariner or really anyone else who isn't a genocidal dictator? Hmm? Maybe?

No? Perhaps my dream for Star Trek has too much hope for humanity's future? Not enough grit, tears, and flashy booms?

Halloween is about monsters and villains.

Fair point and well done (to the artists)!!

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks! The artists are all one person, and they are me. I've tried to do an annual Trek jack-o'-lantern for a few years now.

[–] Indy@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's great! My original en-edited reply congratulated you, but then I thought, "This is the internet. Burrito Trucks can't carve pumpkins...." LOL

My favorite is the Mugato.

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The mugato was this year’s. I was actually struggling to decide what would be appropriate. Almost went with the salt vampire.

[–] Indy@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

The mugato was an excellent choice!

The intent behind my original reply was to complain and hope for a change in how dark recent Trek shows have been, except SNW. I know we all have our favorites; I'm just not at all a fan of this trend of the bad guys being cool in Star Trek. Again, in Star Trek. The casts, the acting, the production are all great and I'm glad more Trek exists; I, personally, just wish it was a bit more shiny.

Do I want those shows not to exist in the first place? No. I just don't rewatch them like I do others, thus I don't care to make pumpkins about starring characters who are not the characters I'd want in humanity's future.

Laser cutting a pumpkin is cheating.

I thought this was going to be a "rest of the owl" situation but I was happily mistaken.
