I was on the SNW bandwagon initially, but that was because I thought we were getting a Capt Pike era-centered show with mostly new characters. But from day one, the focus was on stuffing in as many legacy characters as they could. It seems to be all that the showrunners know how to do now.
What do you call a row of rabbits hoping away?
A receding hair line!
If you see a robbery at an Apple Store does that make you an iwitness?
Hope everything is OK. Get well and rest up!
I'm reading a book about anti-gravity...
It's impossible to put down.
All 64 fatalities were from one incident, AA flight 5342 over the Potomac River at DCA. A terrible tragedy nonetheless.
Starship USS Titan holiday ornament hangs from a Christmas tree.
USS Titan has just reported for tree patrol. A great looking ship @admiralbuck.bsky.social !
Star Trek: The Motion Picture was released 46 years ago today.
This film is truly unique within this franchise. I understand that it may not be the most accessible, but I love its tension, mystery, atmosphere, and curiosity.
I did the inflation calculator and it said that Uncle Billy lost the equivalent of $143k. If I was George Bailey, I would be quite upset too.
Nimoy's propensity to think deep on world-building and character development is what ultimately made him a successful director. Shatner, on the other hand, had a more versatile range of acting ability that could meet any scene. It's such a strong combination to talents.
I have soooo many questions about how this happened....
Never seen this sketch before - very cool!
That is not the White House behind him. It could be Trump's ballroom though 🤣
I would love to see it live on in some fashion, but I think that's going to be a tough sell. There's a lot of competition in the mid Atlantic region.
Oh, you're 100% right. All of the coasters I rode today (except for maybe Ride of Steel) were much more rough than they were 15+ years ago. I was just thrilled that most of the attractions were open b/c the last few times we went, almost half the rides were closed. Six Flags ruined the place.
Yep, that was you then! And sorry - it's always been the Mind Eraser to us and i don't even know what its name is now 😄. I was a ways back in the line. Hope your enjoyed your visit - the park has lost its luster in recent years but we're still bummed that it's closing.
I think I saw you there today (getting on the Mind Eraser) but didn't realize at the time it was you or I would have tried to say hello!
Never realized there were two doors!
It's funny because it would totally happen!

I can't believe the guy who started 'The Man Show' of all things is the person who is currently rallying us to defend democracy 😆
Happy National Constitution Day. Maybe give it a go over, and ask questions if you need to. Kirk is happy to help!

I'm still baffled as to whether the neck of the ship has curved lines now or straight. The show shots are curved, but the title credit shots (including new ones they added for S3) are straight lines still. 🙄
She's too over the top to be taken seriously as chief engineer. Hemmer was a much stronger character compared to her.
I think the Trek community is recognizing that there may be a correlation between SNW Pike's on-screen decline and Anson Mount's increasing online rants.
Yep - I've been hesitant to admit it b/c I want to believe in the good of people, but it does seem like Mount the actor's personality is bleeding into Pike's personality as we go along, and that's unfortunate for Star Trek as a whole.
Season 1 SNW Pike was OK IMO - there were still elements of DISCO Pike in there. I liked his dynamic with Spock in that season's finale. But since then, when the writers aren't flat out ignoring him, they're making him aloof, controlling in his romance, and borderline racist.
