I wish I spoke German a little better than I do…which is pretty much not at all. I can understand some things. I can say some things. I know my colors and body parts. I know how to ask for beer. I know how to say I don’t feel well and how to ask where the hospital is. I also know how to say I think you’re a pain in my ass. I also know how to sing along with Rammstein. You know, the important things. <\/p>\n

So I was searching for pictures of Dr. Selar<\/a> from Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> (for a particular reason, which may or may not become more obvious here…depending on whether or not I can get my Shop-Fu skillz back in motion), and I came across this Facebook page<\/a> of character sketches from what looks like a German release of the Star Trek: New Frontier<\/em><\/a> book series. I wish I could understand all that’s been written without having to have the page translated. Am I really that lazy? This morning, yes. <\/p>\n

I’ve never read any of the New Frontier<\/em> books, but I have heard great things about it. I was so close to buying the first book recently. Then I saw who wrote it. Peter David.<\/p>\n

I’m still angry with him for what he did to my<\/em> captain.<\/a> And I can carry a grudge for a Very. Long. Time. <\/p>\n

Still, these might be what I need to fill the emptiness left by my still-lasting ban on new TNG books. A ban implemented because of Peter David. Hmm. <\/p>\n

Anyway, my limited grasp of the German language aside, the character sketches included this portrait of Dr. Selar, who is a prominent character in the New Frontier<\/em> universe. It’s lovely and made me smile, so I thought I would share it with you…because you’re all lovely and make me smile as well. <\/p>\n
