The Halloween Apocalypse (2021)

Photograph of a young white woman with a blank expression on her face. Above the photograph is the text: Woman arrested after posing as a zoo tour guide, leading 18 guests on a one-hour tour while making up facts about the otters.

I really enjoyed this episode of SNW. It had scale, it did things we had never seen Star Trek do before, it had a fun mid-20th-century space opera vibe and a great guest star, and it ignored the usual conservative genre-brained time travel rules. A win. #StarTrek #StarTrekSNW

"Disconnection. That’s how this future began. One moment in time that radiated outward, until no one even remembered that connection was possible anymore. But it is." #StarTrek #StarTrekDiscovery

The Curse of Fenric (1989)

The cover of a textbook called Political Theory. There is a cartoon of a chessboard with all the black and white pawns set up at one end and all the other black and white pieces at the other end. One of the pawns has just made its first move.

Lucy and Harold Saxon sit together in a sleek, modern interior. Lucy wears a cream blazer and pearl necklace; Harold, in a dark suit and tie, adjusts his tie while wearing a distinctive large ring. Both look forward with an air of composed menace.

Post you in another country Me in Delphi in December 2017. Over my right shoulder is the temple of Apollo.

A middle aged man with a shaved head and a clipped grey beard looks into the camera with a serious expression. Behind him, the ruins of an Ancient Greek temple. In the distance, there are rocky mountains.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

This episode of Sliders is so shit.

Masked paramilitaries standing in front of the Department of Justice building, from which hangs a shitty banner depicting Trump’s bloated face and the words Make America Safe Again.

My husband just got me a new Herman Miller Aeron chair to replace the one my fat arse broke a few months ago. Finished setting it up. Just like Captain Ake.

Captain Ake is sitting in her chair on the bridge of the USS Athena for the first time. She has just finished adjusting her chair, and now she looks up at the ceiling as the computer says, "Command station settings confirmed."

The Good Place “Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it - its height, the way the sunlight refracts as it passes through - and it's there, you can see it, and you know what it is, it's a wave. And then it crashes on the shore and it's gone.”

Also The Way of the Warrior, whose two-part version leaves out some of the best scenes.

Dax in a bikini walks into a spa arm in arm with two scantily clad, muscular men. They’re all smiling. The credit says supervising producer Ronald D. Moore.

What I post from

A closeup of Lyra’s alethiometer from His Dark Materials, the eponymous Golden Compass. It’s a small clockwork dial with needle-like pointers, with a row of small symbols around the edge.
