Another Movie Geek

I've never seen him in anything where he doesn't play a colossal prick.
I hope in real life he is a really nice guy but in the world of scifi, he seems to be type cast as 'we need a smarmy douche, a real Ben Cotton type. Oh, we can get the real Ben Cotton? Perfect!'

It was on the original list but I felt some comedy needed to be represented. Plus with Mindfield you keep the romulans unknowns still and that leaves the reveal in BoT more punchy.

I can't love this enough.

Never forget who sold us out:

Title card from movie "John Candy I Like Me"

Movie for a Sunday afternoon. Apparently we need a good cry today.

Also, if one watches LD first and then an older Trek show and makes the connection, they can enjoy it in a different way. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey.

Aslo: I am dead set against ANY and ALL gatekeeping. Why are you choosing this hill to die on?

yet there are still plenty of jokes all across LD that dont need a single ounce of reference. Also, LD tells plenty of their own stories that need no connection to previous Trek.

ad from safway saying "savings like its 1929"

Hey safeway.... its nice you are running a sale but invoking the year that led to the great depression is not quite the flex you think it is

I think the franchise is well present in the cultural zeitgeist that anyone who hasn't seen it and has an interest in it has enough context to start any where they want.

Gatekeeping "you must watch in this order only and not watch new stuff til you've seen all" is anti IDIC. This is not the way.

It's great to want to watch all of Trek, but since the shows already are from different time periods there is no wrong or right way to enjoy Trek.

My episodes:

TOS: Trouble with Tribbles
TNG: The Inner Light
DS9: Duet
VOY: Blink of an Eye
ENT: Minefield

Before the current era of Trek, I introduced a friend by showing them one "perfect" episode from each series and then let them choose where they would want to start. Maybe something like that would help them? 1/

I love that this is one of my favorite comfort films.

@terrymatalas.bsky.social upon seeing this:

TOS had a character genuflect.* WTF is with this "something new" balderdash?

*S1 ep 14 Balance of Terror: as Angela Martine ends her walk down the aisle she kneels and has her eyes closed for a few moments before standing next to her fiance.

Well, Iblis is from the OG Galactica which is nothing like SGU.

I'm a finish carpenter by trade, but hate working outside of being in a shop. Most jobs these days are build and install and I just do not excel at the install work.
Glad you like it! I'll have my etsy up by the end of this week. If you like anything drop me a line and I can get you a better price.

My friend once had a cookbook to trick kids into eating veggies by hiding then in stuff. Might be worth looking into.
