Blockbuster VD0

I saw Ghostbusters 2 and Batman 89 as a drive in double feature.

Day 35: "The Apple" – Planet of the naïve cultists in red body paint, worshipping a giant computer snake. Kirk teaches them about freedom by blowing up their god. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 34: "Mirror, Mirror" – Transporter accident sends Kirk, Bones, Scotty, and Uhura to the Mirror Universe. Evil Spock has a goatee, and Mirror Kirk is a full-on dictator. Moral: Facial hair equals villainy. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 33: "The Changeling" – Rogue space probe mistakes Kirk for its creator. It’s basically The Motion Picture but on a tighter budget. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

World Renowned Poster Artist, Drew Struzan, Suffering From Late Stage Alzheimer's — CultureSlate Drew Struzan, prolific movie poster illustrator, and creator of the original Industrial Light & Magic logo has been diagnosed with late-stage Alzheimer’s. The news about his medical condition was announced by his wife of sixty years, Dylan Struzan. Struzan created some of the most iconi

I thought it was just a weird little colloquial quirk, but now I am invested. This must be how it starts.

Day 32: "Who Mourns for Adonais?" – A giant Space hand appears and grabs the Enterprise, turns out it is the Greek god Apollo and he wants slaves. Kirk’s allergic to worship, and Scotty’s allergic to losing women to aliens. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 31: "Amok Time" – Spock goes through Pon Farr, which is basically male Vulcan time of the month. Spock fights Kirk to the death... over a woman who’s just not that into him. Checov makes his first appearance which marks the completion of the classic cast. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 30: "Operation: Annihilate!" – Flying pancake monsters attack a colony, Kirks brother Sam dies. Spock goes blind for ten minutes. Not the best season finale, but it concludes TOS season 1. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 29: "The City on the Edge of Forever" – It is no wonder this is most often considered the best episode of original Trek. Joan Crawford guest stars as the tragic Edith Keeler. Hard lessons in time travel are learned. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 28: "The Alternative Factor" – The first episode in which dilithium crystals are related to Anti-matter however not much of this doppelgänger chaos makes too much sense. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 27: "Errand of Mercy" – Klingons attempt occupy a peaceful planet. Turns out the locals are god-like pacifists, who are not too fond of the Federation and the Empire being at war. First appearance of the Klingons. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

"The Devil in the Dark" – The infamous rock monster episode. Silicon lifeform kills miners... or is just protecting its eggs? Funny how it was mentioned to be asbestos based, years before we figured out that stuff kills ya. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 25 "This Side of Paradise" – Spock gets high on space spores and smiles. The whole thing feels like a don't do drugs advert. Kirk’s allergy to happiness saves the day. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

I had no idea it was that common a mistake

Who are you asserting blocked you?

Sure. I also wonder if the word pernickety is in there too.

Day 24 "A Taste of Armageddon" – War via computer simulation. Casualties report to disintegration booths. Kirk breaks the system (literally). #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 23 "Space Seed" – KHAAAAN! The rare instance where the guest star out perfroms Shatner. The Enterprise decides to dethaw a genetically engineered late 20th century warlord. Kirk’s decision to leave him on Ceti Alpha V… will come back to haunt him #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Gary Peters is my Senator. He will be primaried, I promise.

Day 22: "The Return of the Archons" – Kirk and the crew find the people on Beta 3 are mind controlled by a computer that was originally a politician, now pretending to be a deity. Lots of culty vibes, but we get the first mention of the Prime Directive. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 21: "Court Martial" – Kirk goes on trial for murder. Typical era TV legal drama, where a 3D chess game is used to prove a computer can error (or be tampered with). #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 20: "Tomorrow is Yesterday" – Accidental time travel. The Enterprise vs. 1960s Air Force. Somehow the writers stumbled upon gravitational time warping, and postulate negative implications of knowing future events. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 19: "Arena" – This one is the classic where Kirk fights a Gorn on a planet that in no way looks like Southen California. Kirk builds a bazooka out of rocks. This is peak 60s Trek. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 18: "The Squire of Gothos" – Childish godlike being messes with the crew. If I didn't know, I would have thought it a Q. Kirk handles it like an exhausted babysitter. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 17: "The Galileo Seven" – The Galileo shuttle crashes, and it's a clash between Spock’s logic and human panic. Turns out, emotional decision-making sometimes works better. Who knew? #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 16: "Shore Leave" – Planet makes the thoughts of the crew real. Sulu is a gun nut, Kirk brawls with a schoolyard bully. McCoy dies, then he doesn’t. Amusment parks in space are weird. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

I got a bit behind on my 80 days of Star Trek and had to binge. I will be posting several today to catch back up... #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek

Day 15: "Balance of Terror" – Submarine warfare in space. Romulans make their debut, and Mark Lenard kills it. Kirk proves he’s a tactical genius. #StarTrekTOS #80DaysOfStarTrek
