I come here for fun — to escape the dumpster fire that is the real world. I like posts about Star Trek, film and TV, toys, etc. If most of your posts are political I probably won’t follow you.

My TRON: Legacy Kevin Flynn identity disc arrived from Disney today. Apparently these are limited to 3500. The sound quality is nothing compared to the Monster dock from 2010 but it’s pretty fun.

I wish you a speedy recovery! 🖖

I know there are some Trekkie millionaires and billionaires out there who would be able to fund the remasters of DS9 and Voyager without noticing a drop in their bank accounts! I keep my fingers crossed that one of them will connect with CBS and make it happen 🤞

On this day in 1963, Canadian actor William Shatner starred in the famous Nightmare at 20,000 Feet episode of The Twilight Zone. It is one of the most famous and acclaimed episodes of the show. It has also been parodied many times.
