Ok, I’m fancasting Fionn O’Shea as Kevin Riley - just because.

I took this as commentary not advertising.
I thought Mobius’ enthusiasm for the hot apple pies was consistent with his adoring better-living-through-chemistry lime pie or machine made hot chocolate in the TVA.
He’s been stuck in the limited palate options of the TVA, his memory of a richer, real-life stripped from him. Of course 80s McDonald’s is a taste sensation.
The thing is that despite all that, the volume these sets and their extrapolations imply is still leaves vast amounts of empty space in the ships of Star Trek.
IDIC … there are many of us who are keen to see where she went after she walked back through the Guardian of Forever’s time portal in Discovery S3.
This instantly made go right to wanting to fancast a new younger Kevin.
Introducing Irish actor Finonn O’Shea folks.
Yeoh would get Kevin’s appeal though.
She loves playfulness and unpredictability, not to mention nerdly-fey appeal. She would definitely make best efforts to get him into a bedroom.
Let’s not forget the effort it took to divert her from communications officer Bryce when he was trying to re-engineer systems in the 32nd century.
Love that Farscape got brought into it, but long to find some folks who can appreciate really obscure memes from
Space 1999
and The Starlost
Can you believe both John Collicos and Barry Morse in an absolutely appalling episode with script credited to Ursula LeGuin ‘The Godess Calabra.’
Secret information is shared on a need to to basis, not as background on a visiting officer.
She may absolutely know this.
It’s not an urban myth at all that Tom Paris was a renaming of Nick Locarno.
Kirsten Beyer (now a senior producer in the Secret Hideout shows) verified this point with Jeri Taylor (creator of Voyager) back when Kirsten was writing the Voyager Full Circle Treklit books. It’s covered in an afterward. Doubt that would have been cleared for publication if not true.
That said, whatever the meta situation, onscreen canon can be whatever the current EPs want. So, I’m curious where they’ve decided to take this.
Transporter technology constantly evolves across all the series and eras.
So in the 32nd century, yes they do just use the transporters built in their com badges to zip around the internal volume of the ship, but there are protected areas. The Transporter room is more like a formal entry.
In TOS, internal site to site transport was dangerous, so only used in emergencies. You’ll note that they almost always transport to outdoor locations.
In TNG, less dangerous but not generally enabled. Used under emergency or ideal conditions only. There are a lot of situations on planets where portable pattern enhancers are used to improve functionality and safety - kind of a take it with you transporter pad set up.
Vic Fontaine also experienced the ‘left running constantly with no shutdowns’ that the EMH did, and his actual behaviour didn’t really go that far off base programming.
Regarding the character or the late actor?
