To Whom It May Concern: We hope this episode finds you well. It has been roughly 7 days since our last correspondence and there have been quite a few happenings that have tested our fortitude. You may think that exaggeration is at play in this communique, but trust us dear reader, that is not the case. Two species going in different evolutionary directions, a doctor and a captain both struggling w...

It's the end of June, which means the end of Pride Month! We wrap up our Pride Prompts with a final question - what should Star Trek do next in terms of LGBTQ+ representation?
