Monday is for shitposting about Star Trek

[lunabee34]

1. I got the most awesomest package from executrix! So many good looking books. I can't wait to dive in. Thank you, Exec. :)

2. I am getting back in the groove of exercising the way I want to: biked for 50 minutes, ran 2 miles on the elliptical, arm weights. Feeling good.

3. I finished big project at work! I have been receiving good feedback for my work so far. No matter the ultimate fate or verdict, it's done. So, so done and happy about that.

4. I cannot believe how much conversation I got out of my Jane Eyre shitpost. Love it, love y'all. :)

5. Next shitposting topic:

You're welcome! My latest trip to the St. Agnes book sale was, overall, disappointing, but there were a couple of good things that ended up in the box.

[the_rck]

Deanna/ice cream sundae!

Beyond that, I've no opinions.

[lunabee34]

Indeed!

I really do like them all.

I gather that Pulaski wasn't as popular as the others, but I really liked her.

[lunabee34]

Well there was an overabundance of awesome in this package. I can't wait to dive in!

*gleeful*

[lunabee34]

Yes!

I love that the show depicted her enjoying dessert.

Those were always fun moments.

[timespirt]

No, and I miss him, Scotty and Spock.

[timespirt]

Ack, sacrilege. One must see anything Trek. LOL

[lunabee34]

I took one listen to that theme song and couldn't do it.

*hangs head*

I have actually seen the error of my ways since then and would like to see the show. Who knows when it'll happen though. LOL I can barely manage to watch currently airing TV.

[lunabee34]

Me too.

I saw a picture of Nichelle Nichols the other day, and she is looking ancient. :( Pretty soon all the bridge crew will be gone.

[havocthecat]

She was great! It’s not her fault about the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that happened and the actor was amazing in the role regardess.

[timespirt]

I ether don't listen or if I taped it I fast forward through it. All in all I like the show very much. Give it a try hon, it's not bad.

[archersangel]

thank you :-D

[archersangel]

I took one listen to that theme song and couldn't do it.

mute the theme song! i always did.

apparently the music over the end credits was an acoustic version & a much better tune. a few people did vids on youtube with the opening credits & that music.

BTW when i saw scott bakula at dragon con in 2010 he siad for like a month or six weeks some guy stood outside of paramount studios with a sign that said "love the show, hate the theme song."

[archersangel]

i read a good bio about him, From Sawdust to Stardust: The Biography of DeForest Kelley, Star Trek's Dr. McCoy by Terry Lee Rioux

mirror universe o'brien was in the resistance;

Shatner still looks OK but he's a jerk! The last time I saw the guy that played Chekov he was on Babylon 5. The guy that played Sulu still looks OK too. They were all in there 30's when they played these parts.

[timespirt]

I watch the re-runs at midnight here but I finally could afford the DVD's and bought them.

[lunabee34]

Agreed.

My mom never warmed up to her because she thought they were trying to make Pulaski too much like Bones, but they didn't really seem to be the same character type to me.

[lunabee34]

I will! My parents watched it was it was airing and really loved it.

[lunabee34]

LOL

I am not surprised. I remember seeing that we were not the only ones who noped out of that theme song.

[lunabee34]

Yeah, it'll have to be something like that for me. I can't stay up until midnight anymore. That ship has sailed. LOL

[lunabee34]

Yeah, it was really upsetting to me when I realized that Shatner is a jerk. I love the fiction of all the actors on my fave shows, especially ensemble ones, also being friends in real life. That's one of the reasons I don't delve too deeply into actor lives; I really don't want to find anything out about them that detracts from their performances for me.

[lunabee34]

OOoooh, I'll add that to the list!

[lunabee34]

I thought so!

It's been so long since I watched DS9 that I can't remember.

[conuly]

I've spent several years aware that the cast of TNG carefully markets an image of them all being best buds. Which they might well be anyway, but it's definitely an image they're invested in presenting.
