A very happy birthday to the gentleman who was, when I was deciding what I wanted to do with my life, very much "my" Doctor… @oldsixie.bsky.social
One of the most traumatizing lines in sci-fi fandom: “Vila weighs 73 kilos.” RIP Michael Keating. You made it into orbit.
Gas has now gone up to 32¢ per gallon in Rancho Bernardo?! Outrageous!!!
I've done a bit of math. In this image, the red lines represent the maximum area that would've been visible in the original '93 analog broadcast; the blue lines represent the minimum area that would've been visible (every CRT TV differed). 🙂
Amazing night… starting w/ incredible new doc BEAM ME UP SULU… followed by after-party-ing at SCUM AND VILLAINY. But the perfect nightcap was watching the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg, leaving a brilliant fiery trail across the starry sky. A fitting ending to a "Trek" evening, indeed!
Amazing. But… this hasn't got s--t on Doctor Who. The 1988 DW story "Remembrance of the Daleks" — set in November 1963 — includes a scene in which the first ever (1963) episode of DW begins to play on a TV. So the DW TV series exists within its own universe. 🤯
As per the norm this time of year… please no heckling, et cetera et cetera… 😉 @gallifreyone.bsky.social @larrynemecek.bsky.social
When I was very small and went to school in fall ’81, I had an assignment to draw my favorite memory from the past summer. I drew (a very simple, long-lost version of) this image. My teacher came over and said “Is that Indiana Jones?!” She proceeded to tell me how cool that was, and gave me an A. 👍🏼
TIL this is a real song. Ive always known it as the theme from “Pengo” 😮
The TV remote my great-uncle (grand-uncle?) had when I was small: an RCA "Victor" single-button unit which used sound to switch your TV on or off. It was released in the 50s, but he still had one when I was little… and I have vague memories of playing with it, thinking it was absolutely magical. 🥹
Tree time. And while Trek isn't exactly the "reason for the season," I'll allow it.
Happy (62nd!) birthday to the longest-running sci-fi franchise of them all. Don't @ me Trek peeps… you know I love you… it's not a competition! (Actually it is, and DW wins.) 😉
