They only got the Traitor in the first round because he told them he was a traitor. Why were they so confident that they would manage it again? #Traitors

Nice to see ASDA have finally realised that animal skeletons don't have boney ears, and did this on their new Halloween designs!

A plush cushion of a skeleton dog, with no boney ears, just the outlive of them in black.

Plus they don't have to worry about the characters looking over 30 years older than when we last saw them.

The castle one? That was an amazing one. I managed to get the Wicked cottage in Smyths, where it was reduced, which is pretty good too though. Even has a toilet, so the Wicked Witch of the West can have a wee.

When you realise that since Voyager every live action series has either been a prequel or a spinoff for another series (or, in SNW's case, both), it becomes clear that Star Trek's future has been in its past for over 25 years. What happened to boldly going where no one had gone before?

Doctor Who has a similar problem, although at least they have @bigfinish.bsky.social to provide new stories with old Doctors. Star Trek only has unofficial fan made stuff to offer that.

Simon M. Clabby @smclabby.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I always feel that Star Trek fans don't want more new Star Trek; they want more old Star Trek.

Then, a chapter or something later, Kirk, Spock and his entourage manage to all independently escape from a holodeck prison in a suspiciously convenient way, and it's somehow real, because Kirk is The Best.

Simon M. Clabby @smclabby.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The Shatnerverse is basically a series of examples of why Kirk, and to a lesser extent the TOS crew is better than the TNG crew In one of the later books the crew of the Enterprise E conduct a complex escape plan, which turns out to be a trap and they immediately get recaptured.

I once had to send a logo to a local newspaper that was unable to use vector graphics, or transparent PNGs, with their publishing software. As they were unable to say what would work, I had to look it up myself, and ended up sending them a transparent TIFF.

There is a very high risk of wildfires nationally. Residents, landowners and visitors from Mars should not undertake any activity that could start a fire, including launching cylinders into Surrey or the use of heat rays against humanity.

Alternatively, it's just a series of easter eggs for the originals, where more effort is put into the references than the story, which is just a rehash of the first one but with teenagers.
