This episode was directed by Johnathan Frakes, the actor who portrayed Thomas Riker in “Second Chances” and “Defiant”

I knew I recognized him!

I totally agree. Except my last watch through of DS9 where I actually enjoyed it. Not so much the baseball aspect of it, but seeing Sisko go all over-competitive “Little League Dad” on everyone (and getting thrown out for it 😆) and the rivalry with the Vulcans. But yeah, “Take Me Out to the Holosuite” is usually one I skip.

I found it interesting that Takei credits the franchise’s popularity with it being originally a low-rated show. Since it was low rated, it was cheap for networks to syndicate, so it was run frequently which built up the fan base.

Well, for future reference, any time you see something posted by me, you can rest assured that it will never be “Rule 34” anything. Not my jam.

I haven’t seen Battlestar, but you may have just sold me on it.

Also, this image is fucking with my head.

Should I have gone with Pooh Laren?

I started out with a less menacing one, but then I realized it would be a disservice to her to make her anything but the buff kangaroo.

State of Fear is in my collection, but if I’ve read it, I don’t recall it at all. You’ve just inspired me to bump it up on my read list.

Had to shrink the font a bit; looks better all on one line.

Is that good? I’m old and have no idea what that means.😆

Ooooh, I’m totally adding that to my email signature.

Aaaaaaand done.

I quit smoking over a decade ago, but if I had the opportunity to light a cigarette from the Olympic torch…I’d take it. Probably also use that cigarette to light the pilot lights on my water heater and then all my showers would be heated by the Olympic flame (technically speaking).

Life imitates art:

I know, right?!

Bench please.

Clearly we need MicroUSB-C /s

I say exactly what I want to say and fork anyone who has a problem with it.

If those are my two options…start looking for my projects on Codeberg I guess.
