Gonna start editing episode 201 of @untitledstartrekproject.com soon, but I've just got one more thing I have to do first.

Screenshot from the USTP website’s randomiser page, showing the SNW Season Finale Tomorrow’s Enterprise as the randomly selected episode.

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

Rutherford and Tendi from Star Trek Lower Decks. Rutherford has oily hand prints on his uniform. He is explaining something enthusiastically to Tendi, who looks on at him adoringly.

The Halloween Apocalypse (2021)

Photograph of a young white woman with a blank expression on her face. Above the photograph is the text: Woman arrested after posing as a zoo tour guide, leading 18 guests on a one-hour tour while making up facts about the otters.

I really enjoyed this episode of SNW. It had scale, it did things we had never seen Star Trek do before, it had a fun mid-20th-century space opera vibe and a great guest star, and it ignored the usual conservative genre-brained time travel rules. A win. #StarTrek #StarTrekSNW

Post you in another country Me in Delphi in December 2017. Over my right shoulder is the temple of Apollo.

A middle aged man with a shaved head and a clipped grey beard looks into the camera with a serious expression. Behind him, the ruins of an Ancient Greek temple. In the distance, there are rocky mountains.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

This episode of Sliders is so shit.

Masked paramilitaries standing in front of the Department of Justice building, from which hangs a shitty banner depicting Trump’s bloated face and the words Make America Safe Again.

My husband just got me a new Herman Miller Aeron chair to replace the one my fat arse broke a few months ago. Finished setting it up. Just like Captain Ake.

Captain Ake is sitting in her chair on the bridge of the USS Athena for the first time. She has just finished adjusting her chair, and now she looks up at the ceiling as the computer says, "Command station settings confirmed."

The Good Place “Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it - its height, the way the sunlight refracts as it passes through - and it's there, you can see it, and you know what it is, it's a wave. And then it crashes on the shore and it's gone.”

Also The Way of the Warrior, whose two-part version leaves out some of the best scenes.

Dax in a bikini walks into a spa arm in arm with two scantily clad, muscular men. They’re all smiling. The credit says supervising producer Ronald D. Moore.

@lexfri.xyz Loving the new Cryptograms app. Getting a weird rendering bug with the keyboard on my iPhone 16 Pro Max though.

Good morning. I guess this is more or less what I should be expecting right now.

Not event the Doctor knows. From The Sontaran Stratagem: DONNA: What, you used to work for them? DOCTOR: Yeah, long time ago. Back in the '70s. Or was it the '80s?

When I get back from my holiday, I promise to return the favour.

I think it started here. But then it took off because it’s so much fun to think about.

Bluesky post by Charlotte Clymer from 10 hours ago: “Trump wasn’t seen yesterday by the White House press pool. He wasn’t seen today. He has no public events scheduled this weekend. Trump hasn’t been seen in public since Weds, and it’s unclear if he’ll be seen in public until Tues. That’s pretty damn weird.”
