There is a specific Taco Bell commercial that is in steady rotation on the few places we watch things that have commercials. Every time that it comes on, I get a strong urge to listen to 90s music. Probably not what they're trying for there, but that's the result with me. Not that it's difficult to make me want to listen to 90s music. I have a ( Read more... )

A week ago at this time, we were well into our GalaxyCon weekend. It took me a while to get back here to talk about it, but here I am ( Read more... )

I was going to make this post yesterday but dozed off before I had the chance. We're just about two and a half weeks away from GalaxyCon Columbus, and I figure I'll finally make a post about it. Today actually works out better, as they released their schedule this evening, so I have a slight bit more to say. But first, a little history ( Read more... )

Well, we have made it to the end. Day Thirty, and I don't have an actual topic for today. Just a bit of a wrap up, I think. I've enjoyed this, spending the last month talking Trek. I had more to say planned out before I fell asleep last night, but it seems to have vanished. I should have planned this Challenge out better, and had it end tomorrow, ( Read more... )

We're nearing the end. Day Twenty-Nine is Favorite Celebrity Cameo. This category is for a cameo, not a regular appearance. So Bebe Neuwirth, Jason Alexander, Paul Sorvino, etc. are right out as they were full episode guest stars. And Famke Jansen, Ashley Judd and the like are as well, as even had their roles been smaller, they weren't celebrities ( Read more... )

Day Twenty-Eight is Favorite Creature. And I'm defining creature as a non-humanoid, non-intelligent being. So Tin Man, the Crystalline Entity, Medusans, Changelings, and so forth are off the table ( Read more... )

Day Twenty-Seven is Favorite Future Tech. Some of the fun in a franchise that has existed for as long as Star Trek has is seeing how some of the technology of the future ends up existing long before the shows predict them to. Not everything has yet, of course. Still waiting on transporters, food replicators, and holodecks (though as cool as they ( Read more... )

Another Dragon Con is officially over, and as stated before I was not there for it. I followed along on social media, between friends and several Facebook groups there was a lot to read and see. And while there are a few things I would have liked to experience, I am okay with not having been there. Between the heat and humidity, the crowds being ( Read more... )

Day Twenty-Five is Favorite Non-Starfleet Ship. Unlike with the Starfleet ship entry from yesterday, today's answer isn't going to be a single specific ship. I'm going with the Klingon Bird-of-Prey, specifically the K'Vort-class version. It's just a very cool looking design. And I don't really have much else to say on the subject. I do like the TOS ( Read more... )

Day Twenty-four is Favorite Starfleet Ship. Unlike the inhabitants of San Francisco at the dawn of the 25th Century, I like "the fat one." Galaxy-class, NCC-1701-D, U.S.S. Enterprise is the one for me. I just like the design, and yes, there's a sentimental attachment due to TNG being my favorite series. Still, that's my favorite ( Read more... )
