TOS – so iconic. Love that McCoy/Rand cover
agree. This series is clearly where all the money is going in terms of art. The Defiant series and Dog of War….woof (no pun intended)
Ummm, that’s Dr Chapel.
Romulans signed a treaty with the Federation “more than two centuries ago” ?
Kirk lives in the 23rd Century. Two centuries ago, would be now… the 21st Century. The Federation didn’t even exist in the 21st Century. They didn’t even encounter the Romulans until the mid 22nd Century.
