So according to Memory Beta, Benjamin Sisko commands a Galaxy-Class starship, the USS Robinson NCC-71842.
Per the background information on that page, the ship may have been named after Jackie Robinson, as 718 is the area code for Brooklyn (home of the Dodgers when Robinson played) and 42 was his jersey number.
Cool.

Shows I’ll probably check out:
Marvel’s Inhumans
Black Lightning
I don’t know about the new military-based/SEAL team wannabe shows, and there are a few. Nothing else new looks interesting to me.
Horror films: not a fan.
Never seen a Nightmare on Elm Street film.
Never seen a Friday the 13th film.
Never seen a Halloween film.
It.
The Shining.
Scream.
Never seen any of them.
Army of Darkness doesn’t count, even though it’s technically the 3rd film in a series.
Horror comics, on the other hand, are something that I’ve recently gotten into, thanks to folks like Dirk Manning, Kasey Pierce, and Dan Dougherty.
Not sure why I can read it, but not watch it.
And it’s not like I read horror novels, either.
Just comics.
It’s a change of pace from the usual Marvel/DC superhero books that I grew up with.
Go check ’em out!
I started the day with an early screening of Dunkirk.
From the standpoint of a history and World War II enthusiast, it was a great story, well told.
From a film standpoint, it was a good movie. I can see it getting nominated for awards, and Christopher Nolan may actually win an Oscar for directing.
But because my tastes differ from an Oscar voter, the movie was simply ‘good’. Entertaining, compelling, but not a film for everyone.
3 stars out of 4.

So many trailers released for so many things that I’m waiting for.
Of them all, the Justice League and Thor: Ragnarok trailers were my favorite movie related ones (Ready Player One gets an honorable mention).
The TV ones were plentiful, with all the CW series and Star Trek Discovery shown.
So much to look forward to in the future.

The Panda’s back.
I don’t know how I feel about this, to be honest. I believe in second chances, and this season is a wash, so what does it hurt?
Pablo Sandoval was young and made a dumb choice, like many young, dumb people do.
We’ll see what happens.
