Captain's Log: Happy Birthday TNG!

Star Trek: The Next Generation is 37 years old today... and WAMTNG only has 13 months left!

Thirty seven years ago today, the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation aired. And in thirteen months time, WAMTNG will be finished! This is highly significant since 13 and 37 are not only prime numbers, but they’re the first two hexagonal and star numbers too. I bet you had no idea that these were such auspicious numerals!

Hard to believe that the end of the voyage is already creeping up on us. To celebrate, for the next month, you can support WAMTNG by buying a half price annual subscription and I’ll extend it into a lifetime subscription (that’s like getting two years for the price of one… or more accurately, you’ll get October for free!).

Of course, all the WAMs remain forever free, but if you have a spare $25, you could unlock the entire world of WAMTNG for the reminder of this adventure, including access to all the following articles:

• Crew Profiles: Tasha Yar, Doctor Pulaski, Q, Guinan, Miles O’Brien, Reginald Barclay, Ro Laren, Nurse Ogawa (Obituary), Wesley Crusher …and 7 still to come

• Personal Logs: 35 Years of TNG, David Warner (Obituary)

• Top 40 TNG Models: 36-40, 31-35, 26-30, 21-25, 16-20, 11-15, 6-10, 1-5

Buy an annual subscription at half price, and I’ll extend it into a lifetime subscription (one extra month free). Just click the link above and let the Borg assimilate your payment details. Paid subscribers can read all the Crew Profiles and the Top 40 TNG Models serial, plus you get a warm glow beamed directly into your circulatory organs!

Promotions and Commendations

I’m not sure Ensign Kozak’s promotion to Lieutenant was ever made official, so let me formally enter it into the record with this Captain’s log! Thanks for supporting WAMTNG, Lieutenant Kozak! Your donations and comments are greatly appreciated. I have implanted your extra pip directly into your imagination!

Also, we welcome our newest officer to earn a commission, Ensign Vee - welcome aboard! Here’s your imaginary rank pip:

For Jess H, one of our most stalwart crew members, I award the Citation of Conspicuous Gallantry, for always being there to lift my spirits.

Meanwhile, I’m awarding commendations to inw, Benedict Tiberius Cato, and Will Stape. Many thanks for your continued support, crew! Every comment, every like, every share is greatly appreciated.
