It's so great to be able to get your picture taken with the stars. I'm sure that a lot of thought and time go into a costume. You picked great characters. I wish that Lower Decks had had a longer run. It's good that they at least had some warning and didn't have to end on a cliff hanger. Or just as bad, have a really strange ending like Enterprise had.
