#Notevember Day 8: Diagetic Alien Music, T'Lyn - Lower Decks' "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel"

T'Lyn played music on Krog's vibe tubes to disrupt the Glumpus' signal. Btw, this musical instrument was first seen in TNG's "We'll Always Have Paris".

#Notevember Day 5: A Favorite TNG Track - final scene of "All Good Things..."

While this track seems to be officially known as (oddly enough) "I've Got a Gun", in my head canon, it's "The Sky's the Limit".

#Notevember Day 4: Music is Part of the Plot - "Pop Goes the Weasel" PIC's "The Bounty"

On Daystrom Station, Riker recognized the musical tune from decades past & whistled the ending notes, which was the code to unlock the vault.

#Notevember Day 2: Warm - "Ruth's Theme" from TOS' "Shore Leave"

This is my favorite "romantic" theme in the franchise and was also used for Spock/Leila in "This Side of Paradise".

NEW: It’s another “everything goes” abstract topic on TrekRanks as we tackle “Abstract L,” linking & labeling luminous locations & lightships of all sorts that randomly begin w/ the letter L. It's TrekRanks at its abstract best! Anything could be on these lists!

#InterspeciesTrek Day 24: Manipulation - DOTs

This is more of a physical manipulation pick. Introduced in Discovery (and also seen in some of the other current Trek shows), the DOTs were worker robots which were used to conduct repairs and maintenance.

Yes!! I loved this scene with Scotty. I can't recall my favorite scene but I love this saying: "The haggis is in the fire for sure."
Yes Scotty is one of my favorite TOS characters. As I drink me Scotch.
