[image id: a drawing based off the cover for the The Chameleons album “Script of the Bridge”. The cover is split into three areas, separated by cracks. The center piece is a head resembling the Star Trek character Lore. He is looking up at the viewer. His eyes are yellow, with his pupils being off-color; his anatomical right eye is a little lightened, while his anatomical left eye is milky. There’s tear streaks going down his face. Behind him in the left area is the Crystalline Entity, a giant creature resembling a mixture of a snowflake and a tree. Behind it, space is seen. In the top right area, his head is ripped open, exposing his mechanical innards. There is green, red, yellow and blue lights glowing. There is a rainbow coming out of his head. The background shows Omicron Theta after the Entity’s attack; dead and deserted. The bottom right area shows that the anatomical left side of his face has its endoskeleton exposed. It’s a dark grey, and his ear components are visible. In the background is Data, facing away from the viewer to the side. There are cracks spread over the entire area, resembling a broken mirror. Most of the image has a blue color palette. /end id] I really wanted to redraw a Chameleons cover, and I really like the Script of the Bridge one. I’m very happy with the result I think. Original cover under the cut. Do not repost or share my art without permission!

[image id: the cover of the The Chameleons album “Script of the Bridge”. It is split into three main areas, separated by cracks. A head floats in the center, looking at the viewer. A rainbow is coming out of the person’s head. A dead tree floats next to them on the right. The bottom right depicts a bridge, with a path leading up to the top right, merging into it. In the bottom left is a hill with a structure on it. The top left text reads “The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge”.The text at the bottom reads “Restored and re-mastered at Abbey Road Studios. Special 2-Disc Edition with bonus DVD”. The entire image has a blue color palette. /end id]

Top 3 Star Trek The Next Generation alien races

By Ames

Now that we’ve reminisced over our favorite minor characters and favorite villains from The Next Generation, A Star to Steer her By is rounding off our cruise on the Enterprise-D by thinking about our favorite alien races from the series. We did it before for The Original Series and found some deeply fascinating and outrageously campy aliens to highlight then, so what kind of aliens does one pick for The Next Generation? There are way more episodes to choose from and the aliens are more than just humans in a flashy jumpsuit, so let’s see them strut their stuff.

Sure, we see some of the staples that were introduced in the days of Kirk. The Klingons and Romulans both get significantly more development in culture in this slightly more modern show, and the occasional Vulcan still looks down their nose at you. But some of the best Trek races get their starts here in TNG and you’ll see those ones are going to fill our favorites lists. Check them all out below and listen to our discussion on this week’s podcast episode (discussion at 1:14:06) for all the extraterrestrial chatter. We sought out new lifeforms, and boy did we find ‘em!

Ames – More machine now than man

Borg

Exocomps

Bynars

I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for a good robot any day, whether they want to kill all humans, just develop their own agency, or just open a can. TNG introduces the Borg and it’s one of the best things they ever did, with impacts across other series galore. Plus they just look rad. We also meet the cute little Exocomps who have gained their own kind of sapience and who we’ll see more of in Lower Decks, wink wink. And finally the cybernetically enhanced Bynars are just too cool a concept to pass up, especially when they turn out to be benevolent in the end! Beep boop!

Jake – Allow me to introduce myself

Exocomps

Tamarians

Bajorans

Jake’s three top races just want to be respected as much as anyone else; you just need to put in a little extra effort to understand them. The Exocomps are making an appearance because of just how interesting it was discussing when a creature has rights like the rest of us. Sokath! His eyes uncovered! It was also worthwhile watching Picard learn how to communicate with Tamarians like Captain Dathon. And the whole Bajoran plight starts out so interesting when we meet Ensign Ro and ascertain what it means to wear that earring.

Chris – Power moves

Betazoids

Q Continuum

Satarrans

You’ve got to respect a race that rolls in and just takes charge whether they’re supposed to or not. We see it in the honest-to-a-fault Betazoids who always know what’s up because they can literally read your mind. We see it, of course, in the Q Continuum, our pick for most powerful species, for whom the whole galaxy is their table to put their feet up on. And we may only get a glimpse of it from the mysterious Satarrans in “Conundrum,” but their plan to infiltrate the Enterprise crew with an undercover MacDuff nearly gets another race destroyed!

—

Caitlin – Gimme a B!

Bajorans

Betazoids

Benzites

Any ABC book about Star Trek (and I’ve bought one before) is highly unfair to all of our favorite alien species who begin with B because there are just too many good ones! At least Caitlin has three opportunities to namedrop some great B species, from the Bajorans who get started off so well developed already in The Next Gen, to the Betazoids whose empathic powers help us all to remember to look inward once in a while, to the Benzites who had some of the best makeup and breathing apparatuses we get to see in Trek!

That’s it for our visit to The Next Generation for now! Back to full time assignment on the Voyager, where we’re still boldly going through the Delta Quadrant over on SoundCloud or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also read our minds over on Facebook and Twitter, and if you meet a species beginning with a B, consider befriending them immediately! Odds are good that they’ll be cool.

"the crystalline entity descending over downtown syracuse, new york everson art museum at twighlight photographed on a 120mm lens"

absolutely brilliant, one of my favorite results so far. the photograph instructions were well done, the crystalline entity is reasonable. the reproduction of a physical place is very inaccurate but the vibe is remarkably correct

I question your sincerity, Lore.

Lore: “It’s been a while since I’ve seen a world destroyed like this. I’d be lying if I said I ever wanted to witness something like it again.”

Say what you want about any Trek, but I firmly believe Lower Decks has the uncontested best intro sequence.

#the alien on the nacelle is obviously the best part #but the fight with all the alien ships including the borg cube and the crystalline entity is hilarious #and hitting the ice and blowing out the nacelle? classic #it's just so funny and so rooted in all the Trek before it like the rest of the show #this is a lower decks appreciation blog #jo watches lower decks

The Crystalline Entity is just a big, floating disco ball inviting you to dance until you die. Just give into the party instinct and meet your fate!
