Just catching up on these, FYI regarding Adonias "Star Trek: Lower Decks" essentially makes the original ending cannon and introduces the resulting demi-god as a new crewmember.

My phone went for a swim today and ive lost my rss feed for just the watchcast. Is that still obtainable? Liked having it all in one spot.
