Imagined scene from Next Gen #StarTrek

"Computer, tea, Early grey, hot.'

Confirmed. Firing photon torpedoes.

"No! Cancel"

Ok, Teleporting pants to cargo Bay 5.

This is what it felt like trying to get #alexa to play a specific song on #Pandora this morning.

Go ahead, try to get it to play "Ballad of the Witches Road". Ended up with something from SpongeBob. Seriously.

The future is stupid.

Skipped out on the Acolyte, skipping out on Skeleton Crew.

I'm grateful so much of #StarWars has worked for me. Inevitable it's going to move on to addressing the interests of the people following me. That's proper.

Can I tell you how amazed I am that, fifty years after #StarTrek TOS, we have real Trek again in Strange New Worlds? For an old man who'd accepted no one would ever manage that again, that's really been surprising.

The microwave oven is the most startrekkian appliance in the kitchen. In fact the first residential one started selling about the time #Startrek was first aired.

It lets you play "Enterprise" at home --

Tea! Earl grey! Hot! <bing!>

An extremely detailed diagram of the history of Science Fiction. The diagram has a rather monstrous aspect, with tentacle-like roots and branches. On the upper left corner are found the roots of the diagram: Fear and Wonder, giving way to Animism and Legend. Other portals into the diagram are Philosophy, Art, Exploration and Observation. These roots converge and possibly interact with other concepts such as the Enlightment, Science, Utopias, Romantic Movements. Important science fiction works, authors and genres emerge on the way, amidst a vast quantity of other entries: the Gothic Novel, Frankenstein, Jules Vernes, H.G. Wells, Edgar Allan Poe, Science Adventure, Fantasy Adventure, Alice in Wonderland, Weird Tales, Pulp Magazines, Astounding Science Fiction, Galaxy Magazine, H.P. Lovecraft, Sword+Sorcery, Modern Horrror, Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick, Dune, Space Opera, Cyber Punk, Star Wars, Alien, Terminator, 2001 Space Odissey, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Total Recall, J.R.R. Tolkien, Dracula, Metropolis, King Kong, Aldous Huxley, and so on. A timeline is indicated on the upper and lower boundaries of the diagram.

Ok, maybe some of you trekkers can explain for me:

Why are none of the buttons ever labeled? Is there a canon reason for it? Surely there's at least some fan theories, right?

Is there a universal color-code that Starfleet uses?
