Yay, it's Liara T'Soni! Potential romance partner in the game, and the character who has an incredible story arc over the trilogy. Can't wait to see it all happen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjj_... #MassEffectLegendaryEdition

A digital copy of Shakespeare's First Folio. I'm so happy that this being on the Internet is even a thing, I've got so much mileage out of it over the years for studying the text for shows and teaching. Thank you Folger Shakespeare Library. 🙏🏾 www.folger.edu/explore/shak...

Celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Shakespeare First Folio by digitally flipping through the pages of one of the 82 copies in the Folger collection.

Continuing my belated theatre shoutouts, this one’s for friends and colleagues at my former artistic home who in August took us to the mystical woods of Athens with their trademark textual clarity and superb music. 👏🏾🎭❤️ qldshakespeare.org/a-midsummer-...

In lieu of Liara not being in any of my away missions and consequently not having any pics of her for this thumbnail, please enjoy this picturesque sunset on a distant world - the only thing that makes exploring in the Mako worthwhile in this game... www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtBO... #MassEffect

1st of many very belated theatre shoutouts: went along to Yashky Complex in Aug and am in much admiration for the many things that this indie company did so well in this production, from the tight scripting to the bang-on casting and performances to the set design. www.instagram.com/vaultcollect...

This is Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, who I take on pretty much every mission because she's good company. Also she's the only one who has a high enough Electronics skill level to break into all of the loot boxes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pKB... #MassEffectLegendaryEdition

It hadn't occurred to me until right now that it might be weird to be playing Mass Effect on a regular Sunday timeslot... And the protagonist is named Shepard... 🙏🏾🤷🏾‍♂️ Tune in on Twitch for probable blasphemy for a few hours! www.twitch.tv/colinwsmithau #masseffectlegendaryedition

How Long It Would Take To Watch All of Star Trek (Yes, ALL of It)

Colin W Smith @colinwsmith.bsky.social · Aug 3

I’m almost up-to-date with all of the canonical television and movie Treks, not much left to be experiencing on screen before I can say that I’ve watched it all 🤓 For those of you who are curious, this is 830+ viewing hours, or close to five weeks straight… 😳 www.cbr.com/star-trek-ev...

Very few franchises have as rich a television and cinematic universe as Star Trek, so just how long would it take to watch ALL of it?
