Second the high cost of the advent calendar. Some of the items look cool, but for me, not the cost.

I like this moment. No villainous riffing. No sneering. No glaring. Just a casual greeting. So surreal.

Doing what it takes to save Tendi!

No worries. You regularly comment and post on a variety of topics, always with a steady and non-antagonistic viewpoint. This situation is very, “it’s not you, it’s me.” I have relatives from the southern U.S., and they shorten “passed away” to just “passed.” It’s just what I’m used to hearing.

I love this scene! I think they all nailed it. Wilson Cruz’ delivery, posture, head tilt, everything for, "Did you just call me ‘Papi?’ " is wonderful. I’m loving the Georgiou quotes, too.

“Well hellooo!”

Nice! Before I remembered where it’s from, my first thought was it must be from Lower Decks. Nope.

Yes! I think taken on its own, it comes across as a not-epic quote. But, as the finish to a tremendous demonstration by two amazingly talented actors, it’s so emotionally hard-hitting.

Excellent. Love that episode.

I don’t hate the Borg Queen. I think she’s an awesome antagonist. All hail the (Borg) Queen Alice Krige. Mad respect for Susanna Thompson’s portrayal. Loved Annie Wersching’s Borg Queen, too. Jane Edwina Seymour’s Borg Queen creeped me out, which was the goal, so kudos to her.

Yeah it did. LOL!

How did I ever forget this one. Time for a Star Trek V re-watch.

Definitely a t-shirt ready quote.

I think of this being said the same way as two squabbling siblings saying, “He won’t stay on his side.”

Woke up, no coffee yet, and saw "Roxann Dawson (B’Elanna) passed … " Startled the heck out of me.

I can’t join them on the picket lines, but writing letters? I’m in! Sadly, my missives won’t be on Star Trek themed stationery. Paramount marketing team, get cracking on that. LLAP WGA & SAG/AFTRA.

The Thing (1982) is another favorite film of mine. It’s a lot more faithful to John W. Campbell’s novella, “Who Goes There?” than the 1951 film, but I enjoy both takes.

I don’t have a favorite, but many favorite science fiction films. Here are a few of them:

The Andromeda Strain (1971)

Dark City (1998)

Thing From Another World (1951)

I think Tendi is always great. The moment of her going full on Orion Pirate was absolutely wonderful. “That thing has a tooth remover?” “Shh. I’m pirating! Let’s go!” (s3e6)

Yes! I’m not even going to try to imagine how LD will handle a Tuvix situation, but I’m betting it will be good. If I had a list of things that would never be LD episodes, that episode title that’s a play on the name of a Harlan Ellison short story, “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream,” would be on that list. Mr. Ellison’s short story is the antithesis of humorous. But, LD continues to pleasantly surprise me.
