What was the high point of western culture, and why was it the look that Worf got in his eyes when he thought about the Klingon opera “Melota.”

One of the best things Star Trek: Enterprise did was subtly show that Starfleet began more as a NASA-style organization than reflective of the US military. We don't talk about that enough I think; and how the MACOs, like the War College in Starfleet Academy, are about showing what Starfleet ISN'T.

Comic books I picked up this week 🖖 Star Trek The Last Starship #6 Thundercats #25 Void Rivals #28 Quintesson War Part 4 of 6

I’m going to this, the #StarTrek 60th Anniversary event at the Science Museum in London, UK tonight, and after a particularly tough week it’s exactly the break/therapy/escape/tonic I need. I have no idea what is there at @sciencemuseum.org.uk tonight but I’m very excited nonetheless 🖖

You're welcome 🫡

“I was surprised by how the actors didn’t necessarily agree with everything John did,” Nathan revealed. “But also how the actors had discussed so many of the elements that inspire debate among fans today. Not that they necessarily have any hard and fast answers.”

“The Thing Expanded would simply not have been complete without the participation of Kurt Russell. He and the Carpenter film are a Thing-like amalgam—a package deal that goes all the way down to a molecular level.” I loved Aliens Expanded, so I'll happily watch a 5-hour documentary on The Thing. 😁

The ship runs on diesel and they roll coal every time they pass a Vulcan ship.

The navigator swings his chair around to talk to the captain about how neither of them get this whole pronouns thing while the ship bombards a planet of Arabic speaking Mexican cartel member’s families from orbit.

I'm tired. Got a news video coming for you and I'm trying to be positive, so I apologize in advance if I'm a little less than my usual self. Star Trek will survive, we just live in a rough time for it to thrive. Anyone gloating about this decision is getting blocked, fyi #StarTrek

Starfleet Academy to End with Second Season Details: treknews.net/2026/03/23/s...

I just heard the news that #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy won’t get any new seasons after season 2 (which has already wrapped up production.) so in effect it’s been cancelled. This sucks. I really enjoyed it. I would have loved to have seen the characters progress over the 4 seasons initially planned

Let’s all remember to purchase the Starfleet Academy comic series which debuts on April 15th.

On Solaris (1972) Kurosawa: "Marvellous progress in science we have been enjoying, but where will it lead humanity after all? Sheer fearful emotion this film succeeds in conjuring up in our soul. Without it, a science fiction movie would be nothing more than a petty fancy."

This would be a war crime. Obviously. Collective punishment.

Remember when ICE raided that Hyundai plant in Georgia and detained all the Koreans who were here on work visas? Imagine that at every airport, plus shooting passengers in the face.

People arrested while protesting ICE say federal agents took samples of their DNA. It's legal, but experts say the practice raises questions about what the government is doing with that genetic data.

Wow. Just announced-- Bari Weiss and co. are shutting down CBS News Radio. deadline.com/2026/03/cbs-...

big respect to the makers of starfleet academy for having the ship look like a face in this one shot

There is no more contrived media narrative than 'Bari Weiss is being held back fro her views' like dawg all that has ever happened to her is that she has been advanced beyond any scope of reason solely because of her political views

"Mamdani represents something that, until recently, was considered impossible: an Indian American rising to one of the most influential elected offices in the country, without the backing of the pro-Modi lobby. The new South Asian power broker has finally arrived."

Israel is planning to occupy Southern Lebanon. Reminder: Hezbollah came into existence the last time Israel did this. What horrors will be birthed from this latest maniacal blunder?

Lebanon’s Health Ministry says 826 people have been killed and 2,009 wounded during twelve days of Israeli attacks.

Actor Javier Bardem speaks out for Iran and Palestine at the Oscars

#Watch | Actor Javier Bardem calls for an end to the war in the Middle East, while speaking on the red carpet at the #Oscars2026

Javier Bardem at the Oscars, "No to war, and free Palestine" "We're here to celebrate movies" "It's a great opportunity to say no to this illegal war (with Iran) that has created so many deaths" "This is the same badge I used in 2003 for the illegal Iraq war" "Here we are in the same position"

While presenting the Oscar for Best International Feature Film, actor Javier Bardem said, “No to war and free Palestine.” He wore a pin in support of Palestine along with a placard reading “No a la Guerra” (No to the war).

"The absence of peace and self-determination for the Palestinian people is the original sin; all flows from there. Netanyahu prefers to be in a costly state of wars with seemingly no end rather than see a free Palestine."

‘No to war, and free Palestine’ says Javier Bardem at the Oscars

Javier Bardem revives his 2003 Iraq War protest pin at the 2026 Oscars to condemn the current war in Iran.

Actor Javier Bardem explains why he said at Oscars "Free Palestine" and "no more wars." He does a great job here explaining how the suffering in Gaza is continuing and how in the West Bank Christian and Muslim Palestinians are being attacked and killed by Israeli settlers backed by Netanyahu
