I know, right? Remember when coloring books were in every grocery and department store and only cost a buck or two at most? Pepperidge Farm remembahs. (I'm old.) Some of them had terrific art in them, too.

I think you sorely overestimate how much working actors make. Lots of actors, even those on Star Trek, fall into the middle class and that's if they're working regularly. Very few actors, percentage wise, are multi-millionaires.

It was great, but it hasn't been in development in years. Don't know how much longer it will function.

The current IDW Trek titles are actually pretty solid, especially the main Star Trek and Defiant books. Good mix of characters from different shows and an obvious love for the history of the shows. Licensed books have always been a bit of a crap shoot, but I've been pleasantly surprised by this current batch of Trek comics.

As a West Virginian, I'm sorry. Not only is Manchin going to run for president, it's looking like our homunculus of a governor will take his spot in the Senate. I both love my state and hate my state. It's harder and harder to continue to live here as a Democrat.

I loved it. Wasn't perfect, but the characters acted like believable older versions of the ones I fell in love with back in the 80's, unlike Nemesis or the first two seasons of Picard. The action was great. It was an emotionally satisfying send-off to that era of Trek. It, SNW, Lower Decks and Prodigy (RIP) really rekindled my love of Star Trek.
