So the childhood favourite ‘Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh’ was onto something.

I was thinking through what would happen should the OP follow the advice by another user which recommended baking the mortar and pestle.
Since it has a heavy film of fats,my thought is that baking at a low temp would create a finish similar to that on seasoned cast iron. I’m not thinking that would be a plus but others might think otherwise.
Baking it won’t eliminate the oils or old spices, more would give you your cast iron frying pan effect.
We use a super neutral dish detergent that washes or at least soaks out in rinse water. Not one of the national name brands.
Even were this cast iron, sometimes you get to the point that you have to clean and restart to build the finish.
But others may feel differently.
We may be heathens but we always just hand washed ours with a good grease cutting liquid detergent to get the rancid oils and spices out.
I’m very interested to see how they build out this species.
Given it’s so far in the franchise future, there was always the possibility he was another mixed species character, but having a connection with legacy species that’s been largely undeveloped, is a better choice.
@virtualbri@mastodon.online really needs to see this. I know he liked one of your other laserdisc captures.
This is truly awesome, and the raw, un-upscaled analogue image data seems like a far better point of departure to reconstruct higher resolution DS9.
I hope he can see this post and thread via my tag to his Mastadon ID.
I have to ask whether you have any Voyager on LD as well…
Actually, TrekMovie makes the case that the references in the reply to the need to ‘time things out’ for the franchise was the answer. I would parse that as their having other Star Trek franchise products ahead in the queue.
The person asking really let Cheeks off the hook though with their final question being, “Is Trek still a priority for the company?”.
No matter how specific the preceding preamble was to Legacy, the question they got to was super general and let Cheeks take it wherever he wanted.
I was surprised too.
Startide Rising is the best of them all.
Sundiver is quite good too.
The later books were deeply marred by Brin’s giving into pressure from his editors to centre them on a group of adolescent males of diverse species because his publisher was of the view that the average scientific fiction reader was a 14 year old male. Brin has written about this and how difficult it was for him to write outside his natural quite adult style. His fantastic characters from Startide Rising are pushed into the background and only get to step forward and shine again at the very end.
Here’s the review from Cinemablend.
Not sure I agree that season 4 was the best. I’m in the camp that felt the pacing was off. But then I really liked seasons 1 & 3, and ran hot and cold on season 2, which pretty much makes me an outlier among Discovery fans.
They’ve been happily living in British Columbia all along.
If I’m recalling correctly, there was one statistic in the 1970s along the lines that there were more bald eagles living in Vancouver’s Stanley Park than in the lower 48 US states.
No effort at all to see their nests from the outdoor theatre at Malkin Bowl.

The whole run is less than 8 hours total, and there’s several episodes in there that really bridge between TOS and the movies and TNG, even if they’ve been cut down for the format.
But here are a few other suggestions…
‘The Slaver Weapon’ was written by Larry Niven himself, adapting his story ‘The Soft Weapon’, and making Kzinti a Star Trek canon species.
‘The Practical Joker’ gives us the holographic simulator in the Rec Room, and the first ‘space anomaly leads to computer misfunctions and Holodeck insanity’
‘Mudd’s Passion’ gives us Scotty and the Caitain second Communications Officer Lt M’Ress in an unintended romantic twist.
Uhura gets command in ‘The Lorelei Signal.’
‘More Tribbles, More Troubles’ is an essential part of Tribble lore.
‘The Time Trap’ and ‘The Jihad’ are great for showing off a wider range of sentient species.
