A Trek Dude
@thetrekdude
Life long Star Trek fan Since '84. Mostly pre 09, enjoy some post as well though.
#RevolutionaryTrek Ideas that spark change For better or worse, the idea of individuality introduced by Hugh into the Borg collective had consequences. Lost as individuals, they were manipulated by a strong arm man, as history has always done.
In another timeline Kirk and Spock couldn't return home. Spock embraced his ancestors violent tendencies and turned to a life of crime.
I happened upon this episode of Thriller from maybe 1961? Starring Shatner in the lead role. Very Twilight Zone, very creepy and well done. Wasn't expecting the ending! "The Grim Reaper ", available on youtube.
Seeing those Boris Vallejo covers in grocery store shelves when I was a kid was always a highlight. Amazing artwork, particularly with Spock.
#revolutionarytrek Fight for freedom "I call upon Cardassians everywhere. Resist. Resist today. Resist tomorrow. Resist till the last Dominion soldier has been driven from our soil!" Damar's unexpected speech sent shockwaves across the battlefront. A great moment, in an amazing arc. Happy 4th!
The Enterprise episode with the Borg sending a signal back to the Delta quadrant was awesome.
Just Riker and Data smoking some of Risa's finest. When Data becomes not fully functional.
Models forever!! Give me those tangible, hard to light and shoot pieces of artwork all day, everyday.
#SciFiPremise Dying civilization So technically I guess their civilization is already dead, though seeing the last 2 choose to destroy each other rather than make peace is crazy. Been on a TOS kick lately and who doesn't like this classic.
Talk about an out of body experience, that must've been interesting for Leonard.
#SciFiPremise AZETBUR: Inalien... If only you could hear yourselves? 'Human rights.' Why the very name is racist. The Federation is no more than a 'homo sapiens' only club. This moment always had me think of how the UFP is perceived, a watch dog perhaps to some.
#RiftTreks Repair Reality Perhaps he himself is inconsequential, but to repair reality, he must be returned.
#RiftTreks Mutiny "It was Dr. McCoy, with a fine sense of historical irony, who decided on a name for our captured Klingon vessel." A nice historical nod to the HMS Bounty, whose crew performed a mutiny against their Capt. Kirk and crew of course then used it to time travel.
#RiftTreks Bubbles Guys I must admit I haven't posted as much...life right now! This prompt has me thinking of Worf and Alexander's relationship rift...and the most annoying bubble in all of Trek. (My interpretation of prompt)
I finally watched Blue Beetle. I hope @jamesgunn.bsky.social gives this character and cast another chance. Too bad it came at the tale end of the Synderverse. The funnest,heartfelt,movie of all those imo. So well executed, it looked amazing, great balance of humor, action and drama. Fingers crossed.
#RiftTreks relational rift The biggest rift to me, ironically is off screen. The creator, Gene Roddenberry eventually had little to do with the movies after TMP. Creative differences between himself and the studio, writers and directors left him on the sideline.
#GenreTrek Literary stories TWOK's ties to Dickens 'Tale of two cities'...from themes of imprisonment, revenge and sacrifice. A father and child reunited, past decisions make for present day circumstances. The opening and closing lines perfectly bookend the movie, beautiful.
#GenreTrek Healing after war. I find the episodes that deal with personal trauma from war to be heartbreaking and therapeutic. Especially when dealing with guilt. Guilt of what you forced to turn into, or do or could've done.
