Or, Leola root is the hydroponic equivalent of zucchini.
This video seems like something Neelix would make for his morning show.

That’s what I thought. Leola root is a high carb root that will grow quickly on mats in a hydroponic bay.
Currently, real life intensive vertical hydroponic gardening is great for leafy greens, but not so much for starchy or other caloric carbs.
It’s pretty odd that an NBCUniversal event is bringing two Paramount Global fandoms (D&D, Star Trek).
I found the Wesley hate cringe when TNG was in first run.
And now I am a parent I find it mean and cringe.
It’s old and tiresome.
What about the option of the original black and white recording of ‘The Cage’ with the colour portions from ‘The Menagerie’ spliced in, as released to videotape in thr 80s?
That was the real Star Trek. Roddenberry even took it to cons in the 70s and 80s to let fans know what he really wanted to put on the air.
No joke, and the story has legs internationally regrettably.
This isn’t 10 or 15 years ago when global stock video clips were just taking off standard resource in ad company toolboxes.
I’m not unhappy that Starfleet Academy has been holding back on callbacks of Discovery legacy characters.
As we saw with DS9, sometimes it’s better to let the new characters have some time to establish themselves and settle down before confronting them with former main cast legacies. Otherwise, what’s intended to help a new show get established can sometimes do the opposite.
Can anyone really cite a first season major legacy character appearance that boosted a new show and is considered a strong entry in hindsight?
The only one that comes to mind for me is Riker and Troi’s appearance in ‘Nepenthe’ in season one of Picard.
I bought season two of Prodigy in Canada from AppleTV, but am super frustrated.
Season one continues to be available in the CTV app for CTV Sci-fi subscribers, but I am really wondering about what the value of that subscription is.
There still are a few new shows (SurrealEstate, The Ark, SNW) that I watch, but they remove some new shows from the app super quickly. We have to record them in the PVR or by physical media as soon as it’s out.
For anyone who is a Trek fan, I strongly recommend MGM’s Forbidden Planet as ‘must see’ viewing.
It was the most expensive movie ever made in its time in the mid 1950s, and Roddenberry cited it as the kind of science fiction he wanted to bring to television in tone and high production values (for the time).
There’s a clear throughline to ‘The Cage.’
Also, you’ll see that George Lucas borrowed a few visual ideas for his Star Wars as well.
“It looks like mine!” he adds.
@[email protected] spotted Murf in the poster in the promotional announcement for Star Trek Day.
Nmyownworld’s mention on the Star Trek Day thread was great, but I thought it would be great to amplify it. So here is the image with the colour intensity dialed up a bit and Murf circled to be easier to spot.
StarTrek Prodigy Lives!!!
I couldn’t resist. Glad you appreciated it, and that new Neelix image is all the thanks I needed.
By the way, in the meantime, I have done some more research only to discover that there are in fact TWO Earth root vegetables that are already viable as hydroponic crops: red radishes and beets.
The idea that Leola root is a cross between radish and beet is now firmly fixed in my mind.
