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... )

Day Twenty-three is Favorite One-Off Character. There have been a lot of great characters over the years, and the problem is that the really good ones keep coming back. Sometimes it's decades later in a completely different series, even the ones that you least expect. So that just about leaves celebrity guest spots or characters that don't survive ( Read more... )

Day Twenty-two is Favorite Quote. This is another tough one, as there has been a lot of dialogue spoken in the last nearly fifty-seven years across eleven series, thirteen movies, and several shorts. Last time I went with ( Read more... )

Day Twenty-One is Favorite Alien Race. This is a really tough one. There have been a lot of alien races introduced over the last nearly fifty-seven years. Some appear briefly, maybe just in the background of scenes here or there, others maybe only appear in a single episode, never to be seen or heard of again. Other races appear frequently, ( Read more... )

Dragon Con starts today. Well, not officially. But there's unofficially official, or officially unofficial, whichever, things happening. Several of my friends are already there. Wiccy and I are, for the second year in a row, not. It was an intentional choice. The Hotel Hunger Games have gotten too difficult, and we were never able to luck into a ( Read more... )

My brain is weird some times. Well, all the time, but some times more than others. Today, I was sitting at break, and as usual my thoughts were skipping about on random. And I started thinking about my mom, and how I used to tease her back when I was in high school about how old she was. "What did you learn about in school today?" "The Roman Empire ( Read more... )

So, I skipped yesterday, aside from my brief pop in to say that I wasn't going to be able to make an actual post. The reason is because yesterday was the Leagues Cup tournament final. And we spent the whole day downtown ( Read more... )

In recent days, I'd given some thought as to changing the topic of the day. I was thinking of going with favorite episode from Short Treks, as some places count that as a series on its own. But after re-watching a couple, and looking over the rest, I just don't feel like there's enough there to justify giving it a day for itself. Most of the ten ( Read more... )

Day Sixteen is Favorite Episode of Prodigy. When this series was announced, I found it an interesting idea. A show that would air on Nickelodeon and be aimed primarily at that audience, sort of as a gateway to the larger Trek universe. I figured it wouldn't be for me, and that's fine. Not everything needs to be (something I wish more people in ( Read more... )

Day Fifteen is Favorite Episode of Strange New Worlds. I really liked Pike, Number One, and Spock on the second season of Discovery. So when it was announced that they would be in a new series, I was ridiculously excited. And then they announced the rest of the cast and who they would be playing. Of the other actors, I only knew Christina Chong ( Read more... )
