More puttering about.



Dug out some....uh...well some stuff that's been literally rotting back behind the shed for the last 5 years, fits in rather well.



So, we started to decorate the rest of the sticks.  (can't see real well but some small rib bones hanging here and there too.)

Shut Up, Wesley!

I have a button that says "Shut up Wesley... in an airtight box."

It's mean, I know. He wasn't always bad.

...I may have to find and post a Sparks McGee vid, out of respect for Wil Wheaton...

STAR TREK: GENERATIONS
was on TV tonight and despite all the things I have to do I chose to watch it again and come here posting.

A moving movie!
It's about youth and about old age. About time and what it means.
About the choices we made, what we've gained from them and what we had to let as we went ahead, and so it's also about regrets. It's about duty and its contingencies, having children or protecting those who have. About sadness and pride and hope.
The past and present and future and whether we accept them or not.
It's about passing the baton instead of keeping it forever.
Of course there is a Deus ex Machina at the end but, hey,  this is Star Trek.

What kind of man could hate this movie without hating all movies?

Funny you mention all that now.
I just finished watching two episodes of Star Trek: Voyager, with most of what you talked about in them.

I don't know how to post YouTube videos here, but the latest Phase II/New Voyages fan film is out now. "Mind-Sifter" is based on an old fanfic that was edited and professionally published in the anthology Star Trek: The New Voyages, back in the late '70s. The author, who died some years ago, gave the Phase II producer permission to film her story.

The result is a mix of the original fanfic and the published story, plus a bit of original material and a cameo that will make people who have seen other Phase II fan films chuckle.

The premise of the story is that the Klingons kidnap Kirk and torture him for information on the Guardian of Forever. He escapes and leaps back in time... and ends up in a 1950s mental hospital, with amnesia induced and reinforced by the torture he endured from the Klingon Mind-Sifter. While the 23rd century people think Kirk is dead, Spock becomes the captain.

This story was the inspiration for the Valjiir "Shadow Captain" series of stories, that have been extensively discussed in the Valjiir thread on this forum.

Anyway, here is the link to "Mind-Sifter"...

Oh poo.

That's odd; it worked on CFC (it's in the "All Things Star Trek" thread in the Arts & Entertainment forum in the Colosseum section).
