Have fun, #Svengoolie gang! I'll see you next week for the slight invasion thing. Until then, have a great week!

Alas, #MeTVStarTrek friends, we have to wait a week for our favorite train wreck, "The Alternate Factor." Maybe this is a lingering pandemic syndrome (AKA Long Stupid), but I'm now fond of this episode. How? I ignore the plot & sympathize with the poor actors giving their all. Goddess bless 'em.

These movies would be only 30 minutes long without the criminally skeptical boyfriends. #Svengoolie

Somewhere I still have my ticket stub from seeing "Ed Wood" in the theatre. I thought Martin Landau was superb. That rubber octopus scene was amazing. #Svengoolie

What? No #MeTVStarTrek tonight? Where's the love!! #Svengoolie

How many garage bands were named Children of the Night? #Svengoolie

Bats - GPS of 1895. #Svengoolie

Possums - playing dead with the Undead. #Svengoolie

"Oh ho the Wells Fargo wagon is a-comin' in, I hope they're bringin' in my teeth...."🎶🎵 #Svengoolie

Tif jokes. He's giving us tif jokes. #Svengoolie

In the words of Edith Bunker, Happy VD Day! #Svengoolie

A little good news for your Friday. youtube.com/shorts/KZ-HK...

On a completely unrelated note, Kirk really goes after John Gill. I'm guessing he never forgot that C- for his last paper. #AllStarTrek

For some reason I'm noticing the touches/attempts at humor. Perhaps they were intended to keep this from being too dark for its time slot. They really undercut the story and the episode. It also needs more tension with the last-minute save. A few more drafts might have solved it. #AllStarTrek

Interesting timing to have #PatternsOfForce on tonight. Earlier today I was wondering if the people who support the current detention of "undesirables" would form/join bunds if they were identified as such. Sadly, many probably would and have no concern about a connection. #AllStarTrek

My experience like it now doesn't allow Do I get extra credit for the rhyme?

If only we had Organians to protect us from ourselves. Well, maybe someday. In the meantime, stay safe and have a great week, #MeTVStarTrek friends!

Wondering if protestors dressed as Klingons, would certain "security" forces greet them as brothers? #MeTVStarTrek #ErrandOfMercy

I'm not sure why trillium is such a hot commodity. #MeTVStarTrek #ErrandOfMercy

Have a great week, #Svengoolie friends. Next week is gonna suck - in a good way! I'll see the #MeTVStarTrek gang for Errand of Mercy in half an hour.

Happy birthday, Miss Betty! Way to go! #Svengoolie

My favorite Gorgon story was in a grade school magazine of short stories. The final scene was the main character in a scary place, hearing a noise. "I turned...," you turned the page to a drawing of the Gorgon, "and looked." I read that 60 yrs ago. That's the power of a good story. #Svengoolie

"We are men of science." "Speak for yourself. I am a hedgehog of science." #Svengoolie

It seems this is a good time of year for my creative juices. I've finished a synopsis of a fun little SF short story in the spirit of the old radio programs Dimension X and X Minus One. Do I write it before or after the novel that popped up exactly 2 yrs ago? #WritingCommunity #Writing #WritingLife

I asked her how I was going to get some work done. She saw nothing wrong with the situation. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

"They can't do nuthin' until they stop sparklin." Words to live by. #AllStarTrek #APieceOfTheAction

While listening the #StarTrek theme, I realized it's impossible to overestimate the influence this show has had on me. I was 11 when it came into my life and led me out into the universe of infinite possibilities. I'm pretty sure I never came back. #AllStarTrek

Nice version of the classic Burns and Schreiber routine! #Svengoolie

My closed captioning is spelling "Morey" as "Maori." What's yours doing? #Svengoolie #FracturedFlickers

And then every utility company in the greater Los Angeles area sued Joyce for convincing her brother to do $875 million of damage to the electrical grid. The End. #Svengoolie

True Fact: In the original Hawaii Five-O, the TV reporters were real reporters from KGMB, the local CBS station. Most often seen was Bob Sevey, who was known as the Walter Kronkite of Hawaiʻi. #Svengoolie

Did he say the irascible Swanson was played by George Bête-Noire? #Svengoolie

Maybe they should write "FREE BREAD" on top of the truck. #Svengoolie

We drank our way across the '50s. #Svengoolie

They're going to raise teachers' salaries? This *is* a fantasy. #Svengoolie

What? We're supposed to take off our masks??? #Svengoolie #WarOgTheColosalMasks

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

If you believe in coincidences: This episode introduces the Chaffee shuttlecraft, which was named in honor of Roger Chaffee, one of the three astronauts killed in the Apollo 1 fire, as a reminder of the dangers of space travel. Today is the 59th anniversary of the Apollo 1 fire. #AllStarTrek #DS9

I love this #TNG episode, too, but I need to write. I'll DVR it and enjoy it later. Good night, all! #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel #CauseAndEffect

I salute you, D.C. Fontana! #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel

Oh, great - cable's down! How am I going to find out if Sarek lives and who the bad guys are????? #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel

Even Spock can't say no to that smile. #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel

They heard that whack as far as Rigel 12, and it registered on seismic monitors two star systems away. #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel #Ouch

On an unrelated note, I was gobsmacked when someone pointed out that this is Kathy Garver, mostly known from A Family Affair. She looked familiar, but I had no clue. If only we all could age so gracefully! #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel

Sick bay needs guest chairs. #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel

And God bless Mark Lenard. Star Trek would not be as revered if he hadn't given us his Sarek. Can you imagine anyone else in the role? He's as integral to Trek's success as William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. IMHO. #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel

And I can't say enough about Jane Wyatt. True story: In 1942, she was part of a March of Dimes fundraiser traveling the country. A radio drama producer in OKC asked her if she'd do a drama; she said yes; he wrote it; she did it the next day & left w/the tour. #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel 1/2

I totally dig the plunky bass line as the theme of Spock and Sarek. So heavy, and yet so simple. #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel

A happy coincidence: I have time to watch #TOS, and it's a classic. #AllStarTrek #JourneyToBabel

"Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon...?" #Svengoolie
