Day 112 of inserting a Muppet into a Star Trek screenshot

#StarTrek #StarTrekEnterprise #TheMuppets #SesameStreet
In a screenshot from Star Trek: Enterprise, we see T'Pol sitting in the Enterprise captain's chair trying desperately to hold on as they are under attack. There is a wall of sparks behind her. To the right is Telly Monster from Sesame Street. He's holding his hands up and screaming.

I’ve been rewatching season 5 of #TwentyFour, (again), and had some thoughts on the very talented Peter Weller.

If you’re interested, my micro-piece is linked below. 📺

Four years ago, I produced this video essay on Enterprise’s Vulcan trilogy, arguing that it is a clear Trek for all time!

NEW! We celebrate a legend this week on TrekRanks w/the “Top 5 Jeffrey Combs Moments.” No one is more revered in the #StarTrek fandom for their unique skills & broad range! (And perfect timing w/all the DS9 love right now.) Shran, Brunt, Weyoun? Take your pick!
🔊 www.trekranks.com/trekranks-podcast
Artwork for the 226th episode of TrekRanks featuring the "Top 5 Jeffrey Combs Moments." Images include the TrekRanks logo in the upper left corner and an image of Combs as Tiron in "Meridian," his first Trek appearance in the upper right corner (holding a glass). IN the bottom left corner is Brunt pointing back at the viewer (from "Body Parts"), and in the bottom right corner is Weyoun trying to fake smile in "Behind the Lines." The center art is an image of the megalomaniacal computer Agimus from Lower Decks with the title words in sharp yellow: "Top 5 Jeffrey Combs Moments." As always, to keep you guessing, remember that the episodes reflected in photos here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" section of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.

Tytan and Notty were rescued a week apart from different parts of Kenya, but for the same unusual reason: both mothers died in cliff falls. The pair became immediate and inseparable friends, and it has been lovely to see them heal and embrace their Nursery life together: swt.bio/tytan

Now it's time for another Enterprise movie night with Phlox.

Now Showing: Groundhog Day (1993)

#StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekEnterprise #GroundhogDay
Top panel: It's movie night on the Enterprise, and the crew have gathered in the mess hall to watch the 1993 film Groundhog Day. On screen is a scene in which Bill Murray is driving a truck with Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog helping. Bottom panel: Phlox is in the audience watching and eating popcorn. He looks up to the screen and says, "I don't know whether I'm more fascinated by the unexplained temporal loop, or the fact that ancient humans thought they could use a rodent to predict whether patterns."
