Y'know, it might be time to get my team back out there, on the streets - and these are just some of them, because as we all know: one of us - one of many!

I know it was only a matter of time, but I bought the first Xbox for two games: #Fable and #JadeEmpire, so this feels really weird. I mean, more weird than Halo even. Yeah, I'll be playing the hell out of this!

While we're here: Jade Empire remaster when? 😜

One of the better prices of #VirtualPhotography I've seen recently. Outstanding.

And as a fan of Massive, also a reminder I need to play the damn game. 😅

It's time to stop subservience to Donald Trump.

And that starts with questions about how to stop US bases on UK soil and maintain our national security.

Voyager is 31!

"Much will be made of the political correctness of this new venture, not least in that the captain of this ship is a woman".

A woman, captain of a ship 😱

Just a reminder that we've come a long way, and that the reactionary whiners of today are just the latest in a long line. 🖖

TELEVISION REVIEW

Now for a Politically Correct 'Star Trek'.

By JOHN O'CONNOR

"Sequence under way. Engage!" And the "Star Trek" franchise blasts off once again. Consider mere-ly this one statistic being bandled about by the producers: There are already more than 325 hours of "Star Trek" productions, including the original series (which began in 1966), the seven feature films and the television spinoffs, "Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)."

And now, with the centerpiece of the new United Paramount Network, Trekkers can focus their notoriously intense scrutiny on "Star Trek: Voy-ager," the first of the series created after the death of the "Star Trek" creator, Gene Roddenberry. Much will be made of the political correct-ness of this new venture, not least in that the captain of this ship is a woman, but "Star Trek" has long been a multicultural champion of erasing prejudices of all sorts. This time it just goes a bit further. After all, it's the 24th century.

Capt. Kathryn Janeway, played with unmistakable authority by Kate Mulgrew, takes the U.S.S. Voyager to search for a ship belonging to the Maquis, Federation colonists unhap-py with a new treaty. The problem is that the captain's chief of security is an undercover agent on the missing ship.

But the Voyager, with 15 decks and "bioneural" circuitry, is soon swept up in a displacement wave that pushes the star ship 70,000 light years away on the other side of the galaxy. The Federationists and the Maquis are forced to work together for survival.

It's an ingenious concept, bringing the series back to its early days of anything-can-happen suspense. Cap-tain Janeway spells it out: "We're alone in an uncharted part of the galaxy. We have no idea of the dan-gers we'll have to face. Somewhere we'll find a way back."

Tonight's two-hour pilot is certain-ly a marvel of special effects. Com-paring early "Star Trek" with this is like comparing "The Great Train Robbery" with St…

I quit smoking 20 years ago last year. Nicotine patches, done.

Stopped drinking nearly six years ago. Not a drop since.

But I swear: getting food and eating under control is still the hardest bloody thing I try to do. Just getting consistent with cardio and remembering I'm not in my 20's anymore!

It was 1994 (damn) when Kyle Rayner picked up the ring.

He was my #GreenLantern.

I'll never forgive DC for doing him dirty in his #100 by reviving Hal Jordan.
