The last week has been an absolute shitshow. My mom's in the hospital, I'm dealing with a lot of stomach-churning anxiety, and my shower wouldn't turn off - all while our new fascist government is being installed in the background.
I'm gonna try to interact more, out of spite.

As I've now reached the end, I want to thank @AndorianSoup, @HippieScubaSteve, @AlsoPaisleyCat and @theresmiling for starting the #StarTrek31DayChallenge.
Because of this challenge, I've written more blogs (because that's what I turned them into, oops) in this past month than I have in years. Coming up with these responses has caused me to examine my fandom in ways I never really had before in 30+ years of being a Trekkie, and I feel more prepared for discussions about this stuff in the future.
It has also gotten me out of my shell a bit on Mastodon, and given me something cool to talk about every day. I even mostly kept up with it on the daily, though that wasn't a requirement!

[#]StarTrek31DayChallenge Day 31 - Fave Cliffhanger...
For me it's the HUGE cliffhanger at the end of Star Trek: Discovery's season 2 finale "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2".
With most cliffhangers, you can generally guess it will be resolved when we come back and things will go back to normal. Watching this, we had no idea what Discovery was going to be like on the other side, but we knew it would be radically different from everything we'd become accustomed to.
This episode had a LOT to accomplish, and it did so admirably. It was the climax and resolution of several 2nd season storylines with Control and Pike and Spock, culminating in the wildest, most chaotic space battle we've ever seen in Star Trek.
After all that, we came out the other side in a brand new era of Discovery where the show really found itself and reach its full potential, making this perhaps the most impactful cliffhanger in all of Star Trek.

[#]StarTrek31DayChallenge Day 30 - Crew Position You'd Want
Realistically, I'm the Engineer who's good at his job but cusses and complains the whole time.
Ideally? I think I'd want to be on the Command track, with the ultimate goal of becoming a stuffy Fleet Admiral. There are too many badmirals up there; it's time to shake things up a bit at the top.
I think that would land me as a First Officer for a large portion of my career.
I'm good at working with dynamic personalities and keeping them in check, and I'm kind of a jack of all trades, which comes in handy in that role. It would also give me a chance to lead a lot of away missions and hopefully get into some good trouble.

[#]StarTrek31DayChallenge Day 29 - Character Who Inspires You
I've mentioned that Picard's my Captain, and he is obviously a big source of inspiration. I've often defaulted to WWJLPD when I have a decision to make.
But I want to talk about Benjamin Sisko here. This was a character born out of grief, and he started out understandably bitter. But he grew as the story went on, he showed us one of the most loving relationships in all of Trek with his son Jake, he was subjected to immense pressures and had to learn to "live with" working outside the system for the greater good, he cared deeply for and trusted his crew, and he was always willing to give someone a chance, even if he gave them a hard time about it first.
He managed to heal from tragedy, establish community, and fight for what's right while the universe was throwing everything it had at him. Every rewatch gives us more to appreciate about Sisko.

[#]StarTrek31DayChallenge Day 28 - Fave Episode Set in the Present Day
I really liked the Voyager two-parter "Future's End".
Not only was this just a fun time travel story, but it also gave us the Doctor's Mobile Emitter, which permanently changed the show for the better. It also featured some great guest stars in Ed Begley, Jr. and Sarah Silverman. While I'm less keen on the subplot with Chakotay and Torres, I do think that could have gone somewhere interesting if they had been given the 4-parter they wanted for this story instead of just two episodes.
It was also just cool to see the location shots filmed in the Los Angeles area. I've never been there, but I was playing a lot of Grand Theft Auto V during my last rewatch, and it was fun to see the characters out at the Santa Monica Pier or Venice Beach or the Griffith Observatory and be like "I was driving a tank there last night!"

[#]StarTrek31DayChallenge Day 27 - Planet You'd Like to Visit
This might seem counterintuitive, but Earth.
Earth is a wonderful place when humans aren't ruining it. The idea of an Earth that is inhabited by humans who have figured out we don't need billionaires and religious wars and nuclear bombs and slavery and violence and suffering and capitalism? Humans who have not only reversed climate change, but learned to control the weather? That sounds perfect, actually.
Also, Earth is a hub. It's the home of the Federation and Starfleet, and you can get to many other star systems pretty easily from there. But you don't even have to go that far - you can vacation on several now-inhabited worlds in the Solar System, taking in a Martian sunset or imbibing some of that "green drink" on Ganymede.
