This week on Episode 507 of Priority One: "Q" is getting quite an adventure in Picard, Raspberry Pi can make an excellent tricorder, Star Trek Online surprises players with a starship promo in the Lobi store, and Minecraft gets Trekkie! This week's Community Question is: CQ: Would live events excite you in Star Trek Online, and how would you like them to be implemented? Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Q-ing Up Picard Seasons 2 And 3 By Elio Lleo We said it. We said it last week. We're now in an era where the headlines come from Cameo videos that actors record for fans willing to pony up some dough for personalized messages! Back at it again: John de Lancie admitting to one fan for Mother's Day, that he'll be on for at least 6 episodes, and that they're filming seasons 2 and 3 back to back -- with rigorous COVID testing during filming. If you're not already, go ahead and start following some of your favorites on Cameo. Apparently some of them share the videos they record for everyone to see…so it might just be you who gets the scoop on the latest Star Trek news! Does this entity look like he fears your mortal NDAs? Image: ViacomCBS. Chris Kula's Committed By Cat Hough Since Mike McMahon let us know on First Contact Day that Star Trek: Lower Decks was renewed for a third season, it seems CBS has really taken notice of what a stellar production crew they have over there. Deadline has announced that writer-producer Chris Kula, a co-executive producer on Lower Decks, signed an overall deal with CBS Studios. We don't have any specific details about his deal, but it appears that CBS is doing its best to lock down talented people. Kula's credits are nothing to sneeze at. He's an alum of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, and he has written for NBC's Community, Fox's MADtv, Comedy Central's @midnight and was a supervising producer on Wrecked for TBS. The face of someone not going to Starbase 80. Image: Diane Arbus via Deadline. A Second Picorder of Magnitude By Tony Hunter Everyone wants to try to make Trek tech. The flip phone by Motorola, the universal translator from Google, the Air Force even built a PHASER (in all caps) designed to shoot down drones with microwaves. But all these pretenders are able to do is capture a piece of the magic. Either the form isn't quite right like the flip phone, or the function isn't there like Google Translate. Well, not so with the Picorder 2. A maker who goes by the YouTube handle directive0 has built a prototype of a working tricorder using a typical TNG case as a model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y9hRy4ev4Q At the bottom, where the case folds down, is space for a battery and loudspeaker. In the middle is a Raspberry Pi and capacitive touch screen for control and processing. And at the top is a printed circuit board, ready to mount pretty much any commercially available sensor that will fit. At the moment, he has temperature, pressure and humidity sensors functional and displaying on-screen. He also has connections ready for a simple thermal imager. The whole thing is designed to be modular, so instruments and the internal computer and screens can be updated over time. Giant Freakin' Grain Of Salt By Elio Lleo It's a slow news week. When that happens, we get a little dirty and rummage around the rumor mills. The latest comes from the ol' faithful GiantFreakinRobot.com. One of their “trusted and proven sources” tells them there's a plan to bring back Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer along with the likes of T'Pol and Dr. Phlox. Well...like Nostradamus, with enough theories and rumors published, you might get one or two right. This one, though -- keep it in the back of your mind as just a rumor. Doesn't mean it isn't fun to speculate what that story would look like! STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds The Trouble with Tholians By Cat Hough Starting today on PC and running for the next three weeks, Star Trek Online launched the second Featured Event of the current Event Campaign, called Tholian Trouble. This Event allows players the choice of running either the Azure Nebula Rescue or Vault: Ensnared TFOs, while also earning Daily Progress toward the grand prize reward. These two particular TFOs had some recent updates which have dramatically improved the gameplay during the missions. Completing this Event rewards the Universal Console – Tholian Web Array as an account unlock, and a character only (or one time only) reward of 25,000 Dilithium Ore and 3 Featured TFO Reward Boxes. These boxes give a choice of 1 Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade. The Tholian Web Array Universal Console improves tetryon damage, physical damage, control expertise, and dramatically improves critical hit chance against held enemies. It also has a deadly active ability: hold the target ship in a web and deal physical damage over time, chain to up to 4 additional foes and apply a hold to them, and deal sharply increasing physical damage over time to each new target. No one thought the future would be so...pointy. Image: Cryptic Studios. As we have gone over on previous shows, the Grand Prize for the 2021 Event Campaign offers players a choice between the three following options: Any Infinity Promo or Infinity Lock Box T6 Ship This ship will be a once per account unlock, for a single ship only. Note: Contents only include premium starships that were released before 12/31/20. Starships released after this date will not be included as options. 1,500 Lobi Crystals Two 100% off Coupons for Tier 6 Ships in the Zen Store This choice is only made once per account, upon claiming the prize. Test Server Tribble-ations By Elio Lleo On Monday, May 3rd, you might have seen an out-of-the-blue announcement of a special event happening on Star Trek Online's test server called “Tribble.” For those of you who may not be aware, when you start up Star Trek Online, you have an option to install the game's test server to help the developers quality assure some of the new features that are being worked on. https://twitter.com/trekonlinegame/status/1389293607165726721?s=20 Anywho, in a cryptic tweet, players were invited to defend Earth Spacedock from an assault led by J'mpok. Unfortunately, not all went according to plan. There was lots of confusion about where exactly the event was taking place (space or ground). Then, due to the massive influx of players (probably because many of us are still working from home), no one could get into the game. So what was it all about? Not much really. A few NPCs spawned inside Earth Spacedock and players fought them off. What this was testing is unknown. Here's our community question for this week: CQ: Would live events excite you in Star Trek Online, and how would you like them to be implemented? A Disturbance In The Fourth By Cat Hough Friend of the podcast (and our very favorite Klingon Chancellor L'Rell) Mary Chieffo tweeted earlier today, saying “Nothing says “May the 4th Be With You” like shouting Klingon in a sound booth! So much fun getting back to voicing Chancellor L'Rell for even more epic & honorable adventures in @trekonlinegame today. Qapla'!!” https://twitter.com/marythechief/status/1389679459310075907 Chieffo reprised her role as L'Rell in the continuing Klingon Civil War story arc for Star Trek Online. No updates as of yet regarding when the new episodes will be available to play in-game. The Mine-al Frontier By Elio Lleo Well, this isn't specifically another Star Trek game, but it's a game you and/or your kids might be really into: Minecraft! Josh Davison of TheGamer.com put together a top-ten list of the best Star Trek-themed mods for Minecraft. Now don't get too excited: some of the mods are more “sci-fi inspired” than they are Star Trek themed. But, there are seven solid options. One mod called “A Touch of Trek” includes textures and art assets that really let you build a visually stunning starship environment. Of course, there's "MineTrek" that utilizes a bunch of mods to let you create super structures and environments: we're talking multi-level starships! But where's Cetacean Ops?

On this episode of #SoLA, Charlie, Camille and their friend, Chris Kula, return to deliver the very necessary sequel to The Road to Cracker Barrel, Part 1! Turns out California’s first Cracker Barrel was far more popular than any of them had anticipated- after learning the wait for a table was three hours long (!), it becomes a roadtrip to the Victorville Habit Burger. As they travel the Cajon Pass back into Los Angeles, they discuss what they would have ordered at Cracker Barrel, the pros and cons of Burbank, how to do Vegas buffets, tips on how to eat Protein Style at In and Out, and their now-irrelevant Oscar picks: Trashy Lady Skates, Lady F**ks a Fishman, Armie Hammer Is Gay, White People Aren’t Just Bad They’re Evil, and Gary Oldman Begs for an Oscar. It’s about the journey, not the destination, y’all.
On this episode of #SoLA, Charlie, Camille and their friend, Chris Kula, record their first remote episode on a Beamer roadtrip to beautiful, downtown Victorville and California’s first Cracker Barrel! They talk a lot about the Cracker Barrel experience: country fixins’, “vegetable” plates, down home fun, and other Southern classics like veiled racism and Civil War reenactments! There are lots unexplained references to people only they know, but also lots of discussions about great day trips from LA: Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, Catalina Island (go for free on your birthday!), the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, and Vegas, baby! Tune in next week to hear all about the “LA area” Cracker Barrel and, in the meantime, listen to Slow Burn (a podcast where they aren't talking about the difference between pizza and flatbread).

Our silliest idea yet? We got 4 drummers, each with his own drum kit, into a recording studio to talk about Ringo Starr and his drumming. Surprise: we love him and it. Was it necessary to have 4 drummers at once? No, not at all. Was there some gain to be had for having more than one drummer play Ringo's licks at the same time? I mean, not that I can explain. But let me tell you this: once you get in your head that you're going get 4 drummers and 4 drum kits into a studio, all playing Ringo Starr drum parts at once -- it's a very tough idea to let go of. And we had a blast. Our drummers / Beatlemaniacs are: Manny Hagopian, Chris Kula, Adam McCabe, Alex Scordelis Do we do Ringo's big drum solo? Of course. Do we play and sing along to Octopus' Garden? Big yes. Is there a metal band in the adjacent studio playing speed thrash for much of the session? Yes again. Thanks so much to the drummers for coming and doing this! I wasn't able to give us much (any) time to rehearse together, and our sound check was minimal, but they crushed it!

Chris Kula is in The Weight Room for episode 22!! He is writer for shows like Madtv, @midnight and Wrecked. Kula tells The Dumbbells about how he went from barely pulling off a 5k to running half-marathons with regularity and ease! He offers some great tips for begging runners. Then The Dumbbells help Kula with a weekly routine to supplement his running. Finally the DBs and Kula "weigh in" for a listener who has lost a huge amount of weight but has plateaued due to injury.

Writer Chris Kula (@midnight, MadTV) stops by Studio 309 and discusses writing for Michigan's school newspaper, moving to NYC just before 9/11, and more! Info, photos, links, et cetera -- http://boxangeles.com/117
Tis the spirit of the season and we talk about one of our most revered Christmas traditions, watching the movie Die Hard. Why do we love this movie so much? What makes it our favorite action movie of all time? What does it get right that so many others get wrong? Is Argyle too much (no!)? How do they make every single character a a fully realized personality? And does taking off your shoes and making balls with your toes really relax you after a long plane ride? Also Will talks about the human need to generalize and label! And then Anthony talks about the Burbank running shoe store Fleet Feet! BURBANK!
Chris Kula, who has written for such cool things as @midnight, Community, MadTV and The Onion sports TV specials, talks to us about the perhaps unlikely topic of All-You-Can-Eat Buffets! But Chris proves that this is a fascinating topic as we discuss which parts of the country seem to have good buffets, the best strategy for getting the most bang for your buck and finally an in-depth discussion of getting the most out of your buffet experience from the buffet paradise: Las Vegas. Also, Will discusses Jack Kirby's Fourth World comics and Anthony discusses UNC basketball.
