My hopes for punny tng names were dashed by normal tos names. No giant Worf spider or trapicardoor spider or geordilaforgeweaver spider.

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Finally. One Star Trek thing I cannot appreciate.
Fuck spiders. They're monsters.
Edit: For the record, this is a joke...
But they’re so cute!!! All those extra eyes are adorable.
And they only suck fluids rather than dissolving bones…
"The spiders belong to the Roddenberryus genus ... "
I admire the naming commitment. I'm not scared of spiders, but I do have moments. Like the first time I saw a huge golden orb-weaver in my yard. I contacted college entomology departments, certain that spider was a bizarre mutation, likely due to human irresponsibility. I thought I was living a Saturday afternoon creature feature. An entomologist was kind enough to respond, and informed me that the spider was common and not a threat to humans.
