I just noticed something: LD is the only current ST series with NO CALENDAR!

Someone call Paramount, I think we got a bestseller here … :shrug:

We could have calenders for each show (Twelve months of Janeway/Chakotay!)

OT: Now the JC Collective wants it on Prodigy (Sorry, kids ... Janeway and Chuckles aren't going to be doing the nasty on a kids TV show).

Mulgrew didn't allow it on Voyager (Captains aren't supposed to be sleeping with their first officers).

Why bring it to Prodigy?

This is the year to do it. SNW will give us too many shows next year.

This is already missing Enterprise, so no it doesn‘t work. Interesting idea, though. :)
 
An issue with SotL, except for 2018, I believe (with a lone appearance of the Discoprise), is it's complete lack of Newer Trek content. It seems almost universally focused on pre-2005 Trek, with Kelvin stuff not being allowed most of the time and all the Paramount+ stuff ignored (except once). 2022 has the Enterprise-F from Star Trek Online, and I guess there's been some other Online things, but that's not really my jazz.

I really would like to see a good CGI calendar that embraces all of Star Trek, perhaps including the Disco-era ships in formation, see some Californias in action during the Dominion War, view the launch of the Protostar, get a nice cutaway of the Zheng He, maybe a battle between Starfleet and the Emerald Chain. We've been introduced to four or five different eras of Starships in the last five years that have been completely ignored by Ships of the Line.
Agreed. At first it was excusable, but they're putting in content from STO and ships that have never really had screen time at all. At this point, it seems purposeful.

I realize they don't want to make a mistake and drive way customers like they did with the 02 calendar, but at this point it seems deliberate.
 
Some of the ideas that Hallmark's made money from via their Star Wars and Galactica licenses for tree ornaments are similarly disturbing...
 
I don't think I even noticed that one. 2011, I see. I noticed last year and this year's whole set of MU ornaments, and decided to ignore them. I also ignored the Borg cube, the injured Pike, and the Gorn attacking Kirk.

Is the Franklin supposed to be heavily weathered? Or did the tissue paper mine was packed in have some nasty chemical interactions with the finish?
 
IIRC, the 2002 Ships of the Line calendar was the one time they did it as a "traditional calendar" rather than the "Landscape format" that all the others have been done in, right?
 
Indeed. I had (until I just now pulled my archive of every ST calendar I've ever had) mistakenly thought the first several years had been in a conventional format. And yes, the 2002 art was of a decidedly freer nature than in other years, but it was only the second year of SOTL calendars, so the pattern was not yet firmly established.

I will note that the first one, in 2001, had slightly larger calendar panels (with previous and next months) that could actually be used to write down appointments (if you wrote really, really small). And from 2005 through 2013, the layout of the calendar panels was quite unconventional, with as many as 14 days per row, and not starting each row with a Sunday (and in some years, not even starting each row on the same day.

I will note that the very first TOS calendars (published by Ballantine) had oblique elliptical day blocks, rather than rectangular ones, and the very first one filled the unused day blocks with additional episode stills, in black-and-white (the month image, of course, was full color).
 
Good grief. Most misunderstood song in the season. I don't like the song, but that has to do with being subjected to it over and over while in retail.
Just read the article from your link. Written by a man. The argument there seems to be that it's okay for a man in that generation to be pressuring and ignoring negative cues from women in that generation, simply because sex was more culturally suppressed at that time? I don't think that's a very agreeable position. Pressuring on consent, for anything, is repugnant. Even if it's not about sex. So his argument that sex shouldn't be considered part of the equation in those particular lyrics from that historical context (which is an argument I'm not even sure I buy, tbh) really misses the entire point. It's wrong for a man to pressure a woman for anything after she's said no, and the excuse "she's just being coy" (which he literally says in that article) is completely shady and victim blaming.
