Eng: I watched an episode of TNG and read the name "Sakharov" on the shuttle. I am from Russia, and I am pleased to see positive references in Western culture. Vicky confirmed my suspicions: According to Star Trek Encyclopedia, 3rd ed., p. 426, the Sakharov was named for "Russian nuclear scientist and peace advocate Andre Sakharov (1921-1989)"
Andrei Sakharov is a Soviet theoretical physicist, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, public figure, dissident and human rights activist.
One of the creators of the first Soviet hydrogen bomb. People's Deputy of the USSR, author of the draft constitution The Union of Soviet Republics of Europe and Asia. The winner Nobel Peace Prize in 1975.

Since the late 1950s, he has actively advocated for the cessation of nuclear weapons testing. A.D. Sakharov expressed his attitude to the question of the justification of possible victims of nuclear tests and, more broadly, human sacrifices in the name of the future in general as follows:
"…Pavlov [the state security general] once told me: — There is a life-and-death struggle going on in the world between the forces of imperialism and communism. The future of humanity, the fate and happiness of tens of billions of people over the centuries depend on the outcome of this struggle. To win this fight, we must be strong. If our work, our trials, add strength to this struggle, and this is extremely true, then no sacrifice of trials, no sacrifice at all, can make a difference here.
Was it insane demagoguery or was Pavlov sincere? It seems to me that there was an element of both demagoguery and sincerity. Something else is more important. I am convinced that such arithmetic is fundamentally wrong. We know too little about the laws of history, the future is unpredictable, and we are not gods. We, each of us, in every case, both "small" and "big", must proceed from specific moral criteria, and not the abstract arithmetic of history. Moral criteria categorically dictate to us — thou shalt not kill!"
Rus: Я смотрела эпизод ТНГ и прочитала название "Сахаров" на шаттле. Я из России, и мне приятно видеть положительные отсылки в западной культуре. Вики подтвердила мои догадки: Согласно энциклопедии «Звездный путь» , 3-е изд., стр. 426, « Сахаров» был назван в честь « российского ученого -атомщика и сторонника мира Андрея Сахарова (1921-1989)»
Андре́й Са́харов — советский физик-теоретик, академик АН СССР, общественный деятель, диссидент и правозащитник.
Один из создателей первой советской водородной бомбы. Народный депутат СССР, автор проекта конституции Союза Советских Республик Европы и Азии. Лауреат Нобелевской премии мира за 1975 год.

С конца 1950-х годов он активно выступал за прекращение испытаний ядерного оружия. Своё отношение к вопросу об оправданности возможных жертв ядерных испытаний и — шире — вообще человеческих жертв во имя будущего А. Д. Сахаров выразил так:
«…Павлов [генерал госбезопасности] как-то сказал мне: — Сейчас в мире идёт борьба не на жизнь, а на смерть между силами империализма и коммунизма. От исхода этой борьбы зависит будущее человечества, судьба, счастье десятков миллиардов людей на протяжении столетий. Чтобы победить в этой борьбе, мы должны быть сильными. Если наша работа, наши испытания прибавляют силы в этой борьбе, а это в высшей степени так, то никакие жертвы испытаний, никакие жертвы вообще не могут иметь тут значения. Была ли это безумная демагогия или Павлов был искренен? Мне кажется, что был элемент и демагогии, и искренности. Важней другое. Я убеждён, что такая арифметика неправомерна принципиально. Мы слишком мало знаем о законах истории, будущее непредсказуемо, а мы — не боги. Мы, каждый из нас, в каждом деле, и в „малом“, и в „большом“, должны исходить из конкретных нравственных критериев, а не абстрактной арифметики истории. Нравственные же критерии категорически диктуют нам — не убий!»
If you like Barclay de Tolly, but you miss a lot of content with him, and at the same time you love fiction, I absolutely seriously recommend watching Star Trek: The Next Generation Because Picard is Barclay in space, not only similar in appearance, but also in character. Enjoy!
Он выглядит как молоденький холёный AU Шеппард, если бы он не летал, а пошёл бы по стопам отца или просто родился в хорошей семье с серебряной ложкой в жопе
И теперь он пытается завести хорошие знакомства в обычными людьми, которые звёзд с неба не хватают и постоянно терпит поражение))
ENG: He looks like a young, sleek AU Sheppard, if he hadn't flown, but would have followed in his father's footsteps or simply been born into a well-to-do family. And now he's trying to make good friends with ordinary people, and he's constantly losing))
Kate's moment without her Zeedex was really powerful because not only did it fully establish the danger of the toymaker and the giggle but it also shows what Kate may be struggling with as a person. All the pressure from being in charge of unit is leading her to be so fractured deep down and she's really just holding on to a thread and trying not to fall apart for unit, her friends, really just the whole planet. She's got all this pressure put on her especially with her father's legacy and you can even see her trying to hide from that legacy by going by Kate Stewart in the earlier series. Also like many characters in doctor who it's hard to call her a fundamentally good person. She has her failings and her wrongdoings, but often times you can see she's trying her best to do what's right like what she says when she hugs the doctor. She's been through so much and she's just had to deal.
I'm exited to see how they handle her story next season, as she has been confirmed to be in one episode. Especially with the fact she had picked up the tooth containing the master (My theory. I mean it did look like her hand. Not confirmed though.). She's such a cool character with so much potential for deep and interesting story lines and I hope they give us more of her story and more of her struggle.

Concept idea. Please, use it for fanfiction and other art. Qcard Story about boot licking.
Eng:
Season 1, episode 1. Q judges Picard's team. Q says the captain is impertinent and disrespectful. As an apology, he should immediately start kissing and licking Q's shoes with public respect. Otherwise, his team will suffer even more.
Rus:
1 сезон, 1 серия. Кью судит команду Пикара. Кью говорит, что капитан дерзок и непочтителен. В качестве извинений, он должен сейчас же начать целовать и вылизывать туфли кью с публичным уважением. Иначе его команда будет страдать ещё сильнее.
EN: Imagine Dragons, Enemy.
Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn, they hate us Your words up on thе wall as you're prayin' for my fall And the laughter in thе halls and the names that I've been called I stack it in my mind, and I'm waiting for the time When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic
Welcome to my twisted mind [Sein-Trek (Star-feld?)]
