Have you watched "Spearhead" on Blu-ray? I love the fact that they preserved the filmed opening titles (including the title "zoom") from the original prints!

Excellent way to start the show. Mine would be "Ribos Operation"—my 1st—but everyone has their own! "Spearhead" is a brilliant place to begin… the first color (and the ONLY shot entirely on film)! Plus, you're only two stories away from the theme-song "sting"… which defined the series from then on!

Wait… “Spearhead” to “War Games”? So you start with Pertwee, go through to the end, and then go back and watch Hartnell/Troughton?

Scum and Villainy Cantina

Amazing night… starting w/ incredible new doc BEAM ME UP SULU… followed by after-party-ing at SCUM AND VILLAINY. But the perfect nightcap was watching the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg, leaving a brilliant fiery trail across the starry sky. A fitting ending to a "Trek" evening, indeed!

The Paradox of Gilmore Girls and The Sopranos

Amazing. But… this hasn't got s--t on Doctor Who. The 1988 DW story "Remembrance of the Daleks" — set in November 1963 — includes a scene in which the first ever (1963) episode of DW begins to play on a TV. So the DW TV series exists within its own universe. 🤯

This really came to a head with PICARD season 3. The sheer volume of people “casually” announcing on social media that they’d seen it in advance rubbed many, many folks the wrong way.

Filmmakers of the world…

When I was very small and went to school in fall ’81, I had an assignment to draw my favorite memory from the past summer. I drew (a very simple, long-lost version of) this image. My teacher came over and said “Is that Indiana Jones?!” She proceeded to tell me how cool that was, and gave me an A. 👍🏼

Still works!!!

✅ I'm In This Photo and I Don't Like It

Yes! If you’re in a “creative” field (maybe true for other fields, I wouldn’t know) the WORST thing you can do for your career is to stay home, avoid events, pass on attending parties, etc. The friends you happen to make today WILL BECOME the people who hire you (or at least work with you) tomorrow.

Merry Christmas from Lumon Industries (outies only). #Severance

TIL this is a real song. Ive always known it as the theme from “Pengo” 😮

Apparently as late as VOY this was still an “issue.” 😉

The TV remote my great-uncle (grand-uncle?) had when I was small: an RCA "Victor" single-button unit which used sound to switch your TV on or off. It was released in the 50s, but he still had one when I was little… and I have vague memories of playing with it, thinking it was absolutely magical. 🥹

McCoy’s ludicrous claim that “Rome had no sun worshipers” has always puzzled me, because ancient Rome ABSOLUTELY had sun worshipers. Was this (very common) information somehow forgotten by the 23rd century? Perhaps it was lost during WW3 (like those “spotty” records about Khan’s timetable) 🤔😉

Back in the game, baby! 🤔

For those who celebrate

Tree time. And while Trek isn't exactly the "reason for the season," I'll allow it.
