There had been rumours before, but now it's official, apparently:

I spent my time chasing down Tribbles....never caught one.:(

I'm glad YOU remember. Oh, did I get invited....did I go to the party....should I really know?

I watched SCROOGE with Albert Finney, a really great movie. I try to watch it every year, like A Claymation Christmas, another great Christmas Special.

I tried beaming you over but all we kept getting was a dog! and she seemed content to stay with her master and give him lots of loving and kiss's :)

Blue was the color I turned after drinking something green! Sorry you did not catch one or two of those buggers, bet they would have tasted pretty good stuffed inside a turkey :)

Scott

Scott, now you beat me to it! Chasing those Tribbles has wore me out.

Spectre and Scott, It glad y'all had a good Thanksgiving. I was alone, except for my dog, and just cooked Turkey Sunday, too cold for the oven to boot up. But, it was still a nice day with the Christmas lights burning brightly. Don't feel bad for me, I still enjoyed being with my dog AKA Little Girl.

So that was my dog's problem was. I keep at her to tell me when things happen, she pulls her Cat act on me, "I'M THE BOSS AND DON'T FORGET IT! IF I WANT TO TELL YOU, I WILL!"

As long as you remember drinking the stuff....maybe it ain't good you did remember.

I don't know about beef flavored Tribbles inside a Turkey, and all of the hair...everywhere....worst than a shedding dog.

We have to wait until Christmas for our big turkey dinner. Great news about the release of the Star Trek Enterprise CD. I wonder if I can get them here in old blighty.

For the Enterprise set, it is a skip and a hop across the pond to get one.
Now if you had to cross an Ocean, that might be a longer trip.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/evillaugh.gif

I have made a RETURN TO THE PLANET OF THE APES. I really like this animated series. Sure the animation is limited, but, the detail is awesome. And, Dean Elliot's music fits the Ape Universe perfectly.

Happy about Enterprise finally being released but annoyed it doesn't feature Azati Prime

Give it time, they will release it. The first set is the rough one, trying to please most fans, not all of them.

Ain't that the truth! but as soundtreakker said "La La Land is not going to shot there whole wad in one shot" got to build up the tension for volume 2 and as one of my favorite movie lines goes "The search for more money"

Scott

So it looks as though I won't be getting the Enterprise disc set then :(

There's more to expect from Lalaland in 2015, according to trekcore:


Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection - Volume 2 is due for next year, a long-awaited follow-up to their 2011 TNG release.
Star Trek: Voyager Collection is also in the works for 2015, expanding La-La Land'sTrek offerings into the Delta Quadrant.
Star Trek: Enterprise Collection - Volume 2 is expected around this time next winter and offer more music from the 22nd Century.

It is a shame to NOT get TAS Soundtrack.

Hey Guys, thought you might like to see this.
Music: From the film Frozen Let it Snow

Wonderful news Sir Squire! at lest we all have something to look forward to this coming year :)

Scott

I will have to download that video. I like the "Make it so" video I saw in the past.

I am watching another 50 year old movie, THE TIME TRAVELERS. It has our first Doctor from the Enterprise, John Hoyt. Also, music from Richard La Salle.

That was a great movie! when the first person walked through the screen, well, just amazed me when I was a kid. Thanks AZ for letting me remember a innocent time in our lives :)


Scott

Glad to keep those old brain cells active.;)

Another classic I watched, THE MAN FROM PLANET X. I like the classic alien coming to take over the world stories. One star was William Schallert, our Under-Secretary Nilz Baris on K-7.

It would seem he took a step up in his career! from a Doctor to Diplomat and the years have not seemed to touch him ;) another good old movie :)


Scott

I saw that he is 92 years old, evil character actors live forever.

Hi Guys,

I've been redoing my DVD covers so I can put them into Blu-Ray boxes so things will look a little neater. Being that you guys appreciate the older films etc, I thought you might like to see the cover I designed for Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. I tried to give it a retro look.

WOW! that looks great Pearl! I would be proud to display this in my home or store (if I had one) any time my friend. You should copyright it and send it to one of the company's that make the case's for these classic movies! Wonderful Pearl, just wonderful! very professionally done.


Scott

Thank you Scotty. Graphic design would be my dream job. I'd love to be paid for doing this sort of thing. I knew my friends here would appreciate this as I'm sure you all watched, and loved these old serials.

You are quite welcome my friend! you should make a portfolio of all the designs you have done and take it around to the graphic company's there in England, they could use your talent! and you do have a very good talent.

Scott

Perhaps I should. I've just printed it out and put it on the shelf next to the Star Trek Enterprise covers I produced, and even after printing it I still like it. Happy days :)

It's just about all I've been able to do this week. My back went on Sunday and the Doc signed me off work on Wednesday. In a lot of pain when I move. :(

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I agree with Scott, about showing your work around to get a job doing graphic arts.

I'm sorry to hear about your back, take care, my friend.

Thanks AZ. I hope my back sorts itself out soon as well. Getting old isn't much fun, but the alternative is even less appealing.

Ouch! I know how you feel, I too have a bad back and when it goes out I can't stand or walk, the only thing my doctor gives me is pain meds (Vicodin, which I hate to take for pain) and Demerol (a muscle relaxant) I do not like being not in control of myself.

You really should Pearl! you do excellent work and better then some of the so called professional's do! plus you won't be on your feet as much, which should help with your back problems, as long as they give you a chair with good back support and the real major point is, you like to do this job and your really good at it! that is what I have always told my sons! what ever you do in the work field or life, just make sure you love the job you do! If you do, then you well go places and be happy! if not, then you well do crappy work and end up getting fired or quit and be unhappy for years. Plus what's the worst they can say to you! Thanks but we are not hiring right now! they differently cannot say your work is bad, unless the person is a total moron or wants to steal your work (that's why you have to copy right it or at lest put your name on it, so they can't) I don't know what program you use but it has to have a add watermark option! if not then you have to print one out and find a way to add it to your images, this way your covered. I have used all your CD covers you did for Enterprise Soundtracks and keep all the others you have done (who knows, they maybe worth something to a collector one of these days and I can move to a nice island with a sandy beach with a Pi�a Colada in one hand and a pair of chi chi's in the other :) ) either way, you win and I win! LOOL

AZ is left in the cold south! j/k you know AZ I would take you with me, and don't forget to bring your dog! she is a must.

Yeah, sure... but WTF? Just 1000 copies to be printed? There must be ten thousands of potential buyers for this product, which, if it's true what's been reported so far, may be the most accurate and objective account of the making of STTMP, just like the Cushman books are for TOS. That kind of marketing strategy is the reason for piracy, and since I'm not in a position to get hold of this in Europe (no amazon distribution!), I'm hoping for a digital pirated copy in the near future! Just saying...

I hope if they are all snapped up quickly more will be printed. Or offered as an ebook.

It's just a book....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/smack-1.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/hammerhead.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/catfight_zpsdd31450b.gif

I'm sure they well put it out as an ebook, as soon as they see the 1000 copy's are bought up and now that the pirate bay is gone, they well be rejoicing even more.

No I don't! :( lost all most everything when my NAS melted down, then had a system crash a few weeks ago, now I'm restoring things I (thank the Lord) from my backup DVD's (a 100 of them) can't wait for 2015 sure has got to be better then 2014.

Yes! I have my request in and now I'm just waiting for the links :)


Scott

At least you have backups. I still ain't replaced all of the music I lost. Instead I look for new stuff.

I just transferred from cassette the soundtrack to Buck Rogers movie 1979. The real surprise was the new cassette out of the wrapper of Where Eagles Dare. It sounds better that the download I got of the complete score.

For Christmas, I ripped from cassette the audio book of Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol by Tom Mula, and it last about 2 hours. I was only released on cassette. I saw on Amazon that it was being offered by two persons for over $2,000 each.

Everything I had was on 2 3 TB drives! yeah the photos was the worst! I had years of photos, scans of family, documents going back several generations, all gone...I just wanted to cry. Now that my mother is gone I have no one to help figure out who all these people are...just sucks on so many different levels.

Scott

Anything you got from me you need links for don't hesitate to ask Scott.

Even tho you are from S.P.E.C.T.R.E., are a nice person.;)

Shhhhhhh! they'll have me terminated if they find out! Waite, I'm the Top guy, I can afford to be nice if I want.

Anything you got from me you need links for don't hesitate to ask Scott.

Thank You Spectre! :) I could not ask that of you or anyone else for that matter, I appreciate your willing to help, but that is to much to ask of one person. I need to start going through all of my DVD's and see what I have and don't have, if I find something I can not live without I'll ask to see if you have it, if not then it is gone. Thank you my friend for all your help!

Scott

A lot of what I have is uploaded except some Star Trek stuff from you all, Greg and others. I will do what I can for you. Almost everything I have I acquired from here and will upload if needed. You all are welcome to what I have. I may have to upload, dump and them upload more if I run out of space.

You know you can count on me too, don't you? If Spectre or anyone else doesn't have one of your lost gems, let me know, please!

I wish I could help. I need to try again to get DSL, IF, some more slot have been added.

I was lucky, I found a lost soundtrack that was on my fried HD. It was on a CD in my Pickup. So one less to locate.

You CAN help, then: If Scotty can't get a certain score from us, just look for the CD on your pickup, maybe it's there, too! :)

I never know what I will find....except money.

Thank You all for your kind help! If I need anything I know I can ask anyone of you :) The major problem has been Waterfox! there is some bug in the code that makes Waterfox (Version 34.01) crash every time you try to download from Mega! so far the person that makes Waterfox is aware of the problem and a fix is supposed to come out next week or next year...I hope! until then if I have to download from Mega I have to use IE (yuck)

And a Happy New Year!!!

I got a lot of loot, like figures for my Dragon, Batman, Garfield and Dino collections,radio control space shuttle, clothes, tools, and Airship book.

We need a Happy New Year, I wore out the current one.;)

Season's greetings, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, chaps.

I wondered the same. No Christmas tree was harmed this year. I ain't had a live tree, since I was a kid. We would dig up a cedar tree, and after Christmas, replant it.

I had a great Christmas as well. I got the complete Inspector Morse DVDs, the complete Morcambe and Wise BBC years DVD box set, along with various Blu-Rays, aftershave and "Doctor Who The Vault - The First 50 years" book, also a Pop filter for my microphone. :) I'm a happy boy LOL

I glad to hear it! Inspector Morse, I really like that series. If it was not for Alabama Public TV, I would not had the chance to see such great British TV series like Morse, Doctor Who, Are You Being Served?, Red Dwarf, Waiting For God, Sherlock Holmes, and so many other great series.

Indeed. Mrs. Slocombe's pussy. Something I'd like to see again.... (uncomfortable pause) is "Max Headroom". Not seen that for eons. I also tend to watch "Alan Partridge" whenever that's repeated. DAN! DAN! DAN! DAN! ... DAN! DAN!... DAN!!! Also "Father Ted". Just watched the Christmas Special for the umpteenth time.

Sorry to hear you don't get those programmes my friend. Have you never had the chance on seeing Inspector Morse? Such a great programme. It's not your fast moving action cop show, it runs a gentle pace, but is so good, with great acting and the music is a mixture of classical and Barrington Pheloung. Morse was played by the late great John Thaw Inspector Morse (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Morse_(TV_series)) . I have the 3 soundtrack CD's if anyone is interested.

I'm really looking forward to watching them again.

I never saw Father Ted.

Two British Sci-Fi I discover last year were Star Cop and Moonbase 3. I really like both very short lived series. I'm amazed how the effect in Moonbase 3 holds up so well, and the strained relation of the crew, very real, to me. Star Cops, had great potential, a shame it was killed off. And, I love the song by Justin Hayward.

Don't forget Miss Marple and Poirot.

Yes, I totally agree AZ, another two great series. Moonbase 3 was written by Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks, who are best known for their time in Doctor Who in the 70's with Jon Pertwee. Problem was it was too realistic for TV of that time and didn't please the audiences, a real shame as it was a super programme. I think Star Cops suffered from the same issues, and was prematurely axed as well. It is a cool theme tune.

Joan Hickson was the best Miss Marple ever, and likewise David Suchet is the best Poirot.

I agree about Joan Hickson and David Suchet, they were perfect for the rolls. My Mother was a big fan of Poirot. Also, both series had great theme music.

I just finished watching the Star Wars Saga, all 6 Chapters. The Chapters 1-3 get better with each viewing, to me. I like the SE versions of 4-6, over the original. I am not a purest like I am with Star Trek.

You're excused. :) Unfortunately our favourite filmmaker is throwing together chapter 7 as we speak. Why must the great cosmos test us so?!! Come back George! All is forgiven!

Anyone seen Jeeves and Wooster? It's a hoot what.

Just bits and pieces! my mother loved to watch them, at that time I had not been long on the force and my first child was on his way so I had little time to watch almost anything. I'll check to see if I can still get them here or have to order them from somewhere else. Yeah losing so much just sucks, that's the main reason I opted for a NAS, and low and behold it burns to the ground taking everything (years worth of pictures, scans and music) with it! what I would not give to have isolinear chip memory setup :)

I would love to hear the soundtracks! Thank You :)

Those that burned George for what he did (to his own creation by the way) stuck with him, that when Disney made an offer he could not refuse, hell he took it...Who wouldn't want 3 billion dollars! (yes I know he got 5 billion) but he really only got 3 and the other 2 was preferred (which only owners or those on the board of directors get) stock (you and I get what is called common stock, so no matter how much you own, you will never get control of a company) which put Mr. Lucas on the board of directors of Disney, since they had an opening (Steve Jobs seat was open) and he still gets script approval (it's in his contract) and he no longer has to deal with all the hate mail and comments...JJ will! ha ha ha so if JJ fucks up Star Wars (which is a given) it will be on him. The question I have is what happens to Indiana Jones films? does Paramount just have disputation rights? or do they own a piece of them? Update: Disney does indeed own the franchise! damn!! but Paramount owns the disputation rights! There goes that.

I have a suspicion the new flick will be less rewarding than "Howard the Duck". Maybe all folks want these days are 'cool' special effects. I dunno. At �20gbp/ticket, I won't be tempted to discover how bad it is story-wise.

LOL I am right there with you! I'll wait until it goes to the three dollar movie theater then pay $20.00 bucks for another JJ movie, especially what he did to Trek, fool me once shame on him, fool me twice, shame on me! Or wait until it hits Red Box!.

I saw the teaser on youtube last year, and saw a fast loop to loop Falcon and....lens flare. Classic JJAbram. Well, classic is not the right word. Another franchise ruined....oh, I forgot George did it already.....mesa don't care....go Jar Jar!

Lens flare? That old chestnut? No way! I never would have expected. :)

It's clear we're not going to be rid of this guy. So I propose in an open letter to Mr. Lucas, to please lock up JJ Abrams his dungeon and teach him the basics of filmmaking. For starters he'll need to write out ten thousand times "I will not use lens flares" every time he uses a lens flare. Also I'm available to swing by with a heavy duty cattle prod a-la THX1138 to administer behaviour correction measures (ie give him a good poke) whilst wearing a Jar Jar Binks costume and saying "Yusa no yusa lens flare".

Well happy Friday to everyone and have a better weekend :)


Scott

Mr. Scott is happy. Engines are purring, a stack of Technical Journals to read, and a full bottle of Scotch, I never seen him so happy.

I'm still watching The Real Ghostbusters. Over 150 episodes to watch....WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?......I need to see my Brain Care Specialist.

It looks like Mr. Scott is not over his SHORE LEAVE. Dr.McCoy must be having a really rough time helping the recovery.

I just finished watching all 54 episodes of the 1st Season of Digimon on VCD. These are the Japanese version with Japanese songs, but dubbed in English. I prefer the FOX KIDS version. I became a fan of the show, and I have the toys to prove it.:)

I was organizing my CD collection, and found out that some Soundtracks I bought from Monsters in Motion are burned, not manufactured. They look like they are, but, looking at the playable side, and I can tell they are not. Has anyone else noticed?

No idea on that, AZSneed. But I do know ST Next Gen is on tv again here. And, they're airing the remastered version. Tonight's episode was the one where I fall asleep while the Enterprise and the Ferengi ship are caught in an energy-draining force field.

And, because you fell asleep, the Enterprise lost! Shame on you!

I hope He get's better fast. That really sucks He got sick!

Good to hear Scotty57 is out of the hospital :)

I will let Scott know y'all wish him a fast recovery.

Somebody better clean up Engineering of the mess from the Super Bowl party, or we will all be http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/redshirt.gif!

I passed on your well wishes to Scott, and he thanks you! He said he is getting better, but, needs more rest and will be back when he can.

Glad to hear he's getting better!

I am halfway through season 2 of Enterprise, I like a few of the episodes so far but still not sure if I want to pick up the other seasons. I just watched the repair station episode and found it "very interesting" but several episodes seem too similar to TNG, DS9 and TOS. Also the time line seems screwed up compared to other series. I like the music and Capt. Archer seems alright.

I like Archer and the crew, too. My guess, is that Berman was trying to create a replacement to TOS, by showing events that could not have happened, like the Romulans. We don't see the ship until BALANCE OF TERROR, except now they show up BEFORE the episode in Enterprise. I don't like season 3, the full war season. Archer is so changed, I did not like him that season. I hate the main theme song! The rest of the music, I like.

I agree Max and AZSneed. I was disappointed in the way they ended the Series, they could have done so much with it. Aside from the Zendi Soap Opera period and the screwed up timeline, the next step would have been the Romulan War, but that's CBS for you. They've screwed things up ever since.

The Romulan wars would have been interesting. I picked up season 3 so I still have an open mind but I like TNG, DS9 and TOS better so far.

So, what do you think of Season 3?

AZneed, Just started season 3 a few days ago but I have to say that between the last few episodes of season 2 and what I have seen of season 3 so far I have to admit that I am getting more interested in Enterprise and enjoying it a lot more and have already pick up season 4.

NO..NO..NO..NO..NO...NO......! You are now addicted to the series. I knew it would happen. Well, at least until the last episode. Then you will say, was it worth with THIS ending?

Like I said, I like the series, more as a sci-fi series, than Star Trek. I just can't except it as Star Trek.

Well if I was a Star Trek purist, I would have a lot of trouble excepting all the Klingon activity and Romulans showing up and don't even get me going on Vulcan Zombies but as you said looking at it as more of a sci-fi series and clearing my mind of my "Star Trekkie" impulses I found that I can enjoy it :)

Now a tribble showed up-didn't last long it was food for a lizard. I wonder what else will show up? maybe Capt. Kirk or Mr. Spock with all the time traveling anything seems possible with Star Trek Enterprise. Still I am enjoying it.

Since you are enjoying it so much, I guess I will have to give you some spoilers.....I DON'T THINK SO! You are just going to have to watch the rest of the series.:)

AZSneed, Thanks for not spoiling the surprise.

I would never get in the way of someone enjoying watching videos or movies by spoilers.

I bought last week the complete series of Cowboy Bebop. I had it on an over compressed set, but, this one I really enjoyed. It was like seeing it for the first time, very clear detailed picture. It was like moving up from VCD to Blu-ray, when comparing quality.

I also bought the anime, Halo Legends. I really enjoyed it, even tho I didn't even know about the game Halo. And, I bought Orson Welles's Citizen Kane. I have heard how great it is, well I enjoyed it, but, nothing real special about it, to me.

Citizen Kane was ahead of it's time but now it doesn't have the same "power" it had back when times were different. I bought a 60 inch flat screen and a blue Ray player two years ago. Major improvement. I went through my entire movie collection. Really made a difference with movies with a lot of "eye candy" in them.

I guess you are right about Citizen Kane, I can see it.

It is true about Blu-ray. Now, I don't have Blu-ray, I can't afford to upgrade everything, but, from what screen grabs I have seen, I wish I could.

I hate to keep re-buying movies. I bought Silent Running with Bruce Dern on Beta, VHS, and DVD. And, the Beta costed me $50.00 in the early 80's.

I know exactly where you are coming from. Beta-VHS-DVD-Blue Ray. I did the same thing plus bought a Tandy series III computer in 1982 with a 48k memory, cutting edge at the time. (+ chasing 0 across the screen firing -) That was what the games were along with pong :) I sure spent enough money trying to keep up with technology over the years.

YOU CAN'T KEEP UP WITH TECHNOLOGY! I had a Commodore 64 from 1986 to 1996, I really enjoyed that computer. Then in 1996, I got my 1st PC, now I'm on my 5th PC.
I just don't like how computers are getting smaller, with my eye sight getting worst with age, I need big. I have a 19 inch monitor, just right for me. Of course, If I had a big screen TV, then it would not matter, just view PC on it. I can't afford to upgrade, hell, I can't even pay attention anymore.:)

AZSneed, any update on Scotty? If you have contact, tell him he should get well soon, and we miss him...

I sent a email Monday, no reply. I'm worried again.

I don't like the sound of it... let's hope the best!

Note: We need a "thanks" button too. I didn't really "like" your message...

I pray that Scotty is alright, a "thanks" button would be great.

Good news, I heard from Scott and he is doing better. He is busy going to Doctors, and trying to get his medicine adjusted, so he is too tired to visit, yet.

WHAT! You don't like my post? ;) I agree about the "thank you" button.

That's great news!!!!!!!

Who's that mysterious doctor treating Scotty? Could it be that it's Bones, travelling through time to cure our beloved engineer? (We all know how he hates doing all these kinds of strange transporting devices...).

Thanks for the update, AZSneed! :)

You are welcome! I'm glad I got the update, I'm relieved.

I hope it is Bones treating Mr. Scott.

Anyone here ever watched episodes of the 50's TV series, Space Patrol? If not do a search on youtube, and you will find many episodes. Watch out for episodes from the other Space Patrol from the UK, a puppet series, different series altogether. The series is about Buzz Cory, Commander-in-Chief of the Space Patrol on the man made planetoid, Terra. The series has episodes on various planets in our solar system and beyond, and our favorite..time travel. So far I have downloaded 45 episodes, and have about 25 on DVD. Since it was live, they made copies of the episodes on film, from a camera aimed at a monitor, so the quality varies. It is considered cheesy now, and I like cheezy.:)

I just finished season 3 of Star Trek Enterprise, a lot of action and Captain Archer did change but I certainly can understand why. On to season 4, I have to say the series is better than I thought. I suppose I will have to consider picking up Voyager after I'm done.

Sure Archer had a reason in the story, it is that it was not need to create a story like that. It was the whole season story that doomed the series to die, even season four where they got more on track could save the series. It is a shame that Berman messed it up, and got new people in season four to TRY to save the show.

Season four has the Mirror Mirror like TOS episode and the TOS Defiant. A real wicked episode.

Voyager, I liked for what I saw. It is the only ST series I have not seen much of. I have the first season only. I liked that they got back to seek out new worlds to contact, and new peoples to meet. Robert Picardo (the holo doctor) is the only ST actor I ever saw and heard in person. I sat across the isle from his wife, which I just found out he divorced in 2012.

I have never seen any of the Star Trek series actors in person. :( The 3rd season reminded me of DS9 during their war with the Dominion. The nice thing about seeing only a very few episodes of Enterprise and Voyager is that it is all new to me. I usually watch TOS, DS9 and TNG once a year. I enjoy it but no surprises when you seen them several times before.

Just watched another episode of TNG-remastered. Tonight's episode was When The Bough Breaks. Nice to see the shadows of the mic booms has been left in.

IMO Voyager has some great episodes.

How is the picture compared to the TNG dvd set that first came out? I picked up the entire set back then. My wife rolls her eyes when I talk about getting it on Blu-Ray :)

Ah the eye-rolling thing. You get that too. I'm actually watching it on terrestrial tv of all places. CBS started showing season 1 a couple of weeks ago along with TOS. With respect to TNG, the space scenes with the Enterprise have been significantly cleaned up, and the planets look like they've been re-done with CGI. Nice. Even so, personally, I'm not convinced it's worth an urgent upgrade from DVD to Blu-ray.

They guys in charge of remastering addressed an issue in Encounter at Farpoint where Data and Riker are walking behind a bush on the holo-deck. Originally, two shots were overlapped where they enter and emerge from the greenery, with a simple blurring that didn't work very well. Now it's seamless. Looks like that scene annoyed someone other than just me.

theone2000, Thanks for letting me know, I will hold off buying it on Blu-ray and save my marriage :)

That sounds like a topic for a Jerry Springer show or such. "I Love Star Trek More Than My Spouse!"

I DO love Star Trek better than my spouse....oh, wait, I don't have a spouse. Sorry, Jerry, I will leave.:(

I finished Enterprise, didn't like the ending-seemed rushed but overall I am happy I picked up the series.

It was rushed. They planned on 7 seasons, so when it got canceled in the 4th season, they wanted to end the series, so they came up with THAT ending. I don't care for it, too.

I really liked the way they did mirror-mirror episodes even changing the starting scene and music- just about everyone was killed. The way people got killed off there wasn't many long careers but plenty of upward movement and I thought the Klingons were blood thirsty :)

That episode is the favorite of all of the series to fans. It was really like a movie in a series. The main theme was a treat to see and hear.

Ditto on all the above. Not a big fan of the show though. Also not happy about how "Trip" buys the farm at the end. Also, not a huge fan of Stargate Atlantis, but Connor Trinneer's performance as a partially humanized Wraith wasn't bad. Unfortunately he was adversarial and had to be seen off.

From what series listed I have watched, I remember those tv series within. I think the worst is from B5, and the best from Simpsons, even tho it was gross.

I didn't like the way Trip bought it either seems someone always gets killed in each series except TOS. At least the ones I have seen, don't know about Discovery and please don't tell me and ruin it. :)

Oh, one real fact, the Klingons lost the Tribble Wars.

Yes, and not without horrible carnage on the Klingon side, to say the least!

In TOS they come back. I can't remember if McCoy was the first to get iced on the 'amusement planet', but he got put back together again, unlike Humpty or Trip.

The Day of the Dove, man, that was a bloodbath. They got whacked by the boat load, and were restored to good working order for the pleasure of a diabolical alien 'thing'.

The Klingons said it was GLORIOUS! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/lau_zpsf2785ec5.gif

Yes your right it was a terrible lost for the Klingon Empire one that they will never forget, who knew that a simple Tribble hunt would start a war. I heard the Romulans armed the tribbles with high explosives :)

RUMORS! Klingon are honorable, they don't lie. As for the Romulans, I BELIEVE IT!

The first tribble axel in history is finally achieved...

Good thing they breed the arms and heads off of them! Does he purr when you pet him? Let's not find out!

Those poor Tribbles gave their lives for THIS! Fancy dressed dust mops? It sure don't improve his looks.

So I have it backwards, he evolved from a tribble? Or did they try to splice human and tribble DNA to see what would happen? I'm not sure if what they were going for is what they got. It's a scary world we live in! Is that Shatner's brother?

New TV show "Tribbles on ice" or is it "Dancing with the tribbles"

Yeah Max, "Dances With Tribbles" starring Kevin Kostner, William Shatner as the "Lab Tribble" and Walter Koenig as the other Tribble in the corner. Also starring DeForest Kelley as the taste testing judge whom complains he's a doctor not a taste testing judge, and Leonard Nimoy as the Food eating contest champion challenged by the innovative James Doohan. Who will eat the most tribbles and live to eat another day. Special voice appearance by Barbara Babcock as the witty sarcastic replicator. Rated R for language, violence and extreme carnage. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. No Wolves admitted. Movie will start fallowing the short film "Hitler on Ice - A German's Dream Come True, just not how he expected".

I think y'all have eaten some tainted Tribble, the mind altering ones, OR.....I'm the loony one....if so, don't tell me.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/devil.gif

I stopped eating tribbles years ago-I had too many hair balls afterwards and there isn't that much meat. Also they tend to tickle on the way down.

KIRK: I fail to see the significant difference.
BELE: Lokai is white on the right side. All of his people are white on the right side.

Yep, the klingons missed finding the man eating Tribble planet, until too late. I'm sure it tickles the Tribble when the man goes down.

So, is that the good cat or bad one?

Both neat pictures.:)

Giant man-eating tribles- a new horror movie coming to theaters near you. Would it be an honorable death for a Klingon to be eaten by a giant Trible?

Or when it voids the Klingon, will he be the same as they remember him? Buddy (maqoch), you haven't changed a bit!

Tribble movie....BRING IT ON! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/woohoo.gif

Are you blind? He's black on the right side! :) Soon as I came across this pic I thought of that episode.

EXCUSE ME! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/old.gif

A TRUE TOS fan, fer sure.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/spocksmiley.gif

They end up chasing each other on a desolated plant where everyone else is dead-the true "race wars" maybe the tribbles can take over after and make it a fuzzy friendly planet except to Klingons

That's right. That was the conclusion to a 50,000 year chase. Just needed a priest* (or a tribble) to take down the leader before the finish line. :) *Obscure reference

With the news out today? welcome to a total fascist state here in the U.S.!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing I missed something?

Spectre8750 are you referring to the FCC new rules for the internet?

The FCC has decided it and the U.S. Government will now regulate everything on the Internet and charge billions in new taxes as though it is a Utility. They may now regulate what is posted and said on the internet. And Obummer is now going to make Ammo for weapons illegal, starting with the 5.56mm for AR-15's. I think it is nothing but the elite ruling over us and what we say and our ability to protect our selves. WE ARE IN THE DARK AGES!
One more step backwards away from any type of world Gene Roddenberry could ever think of except on some planet ruled by tyranny!

Well, if the Internet providers were not wanting to give Netflix and others special deals, Obummer and the FCC would not have interfered. As always, WE are the losers in the deal.

Let me make one thing clear, we will not have taxes on the Internet, it will be fees. Of course, we are not stupid, fees ARE taxes, no matter what they say.

All they would have to do is regulate business from unfair practices. It's an excuse to regulate us, not the internet. I feel like we live in China for a while now. It just keeps getting worse!

it's all about power and control, now the FCC will push to expand it's size with all these new rules they will have to create and then enforce

Yes, worst. Both parties are the same helping us, by controlling us. If we have the freedom of choice, then let us decide.

Unrelated or not, you decide. In Alabama, the Republican Governor is going to raise taxes because they can't stop over spending, and to do it with out us voters having a choice, because we would NOT approve more taxes. And, they wonder why they need new voters, because us old ones have more sense to NOT vote for them.

Leonard Nimoy, Spock of ‘Star Trek,’ Dies at 83. RIP Leonard Nimoy. May his Cotra find it's way through the Stars. REMEMBER!

Rest in peace Mr Spock-Leonard Nimoy, you will be missed. When I was a kid I always played Mr Spock when we played Star Trek.

Cheers Leonard.

As for the internet story, I've not heard of any of that. Wow. It sounds to me like the internet is getting a lethal injection.

We are gathered here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. But it should be noted that this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.

Damn it, he's dead. I was hoping the remaining actors would be around for the 50th. Such is life.

A sad day. Good bye Mr Spock, Leonard Nimoy. I hope you find your own Sha Ka Ree. :(

"Remember"...

Here it is a little larger. please excuse the crudeness of the composition, but I only really put it together for an avatar.

I was going to start watching the 1st season Star Trek Discovery which I just pick up but instead I am watching TOS so I can spend some time with an old friend Mr. Spock. I always thought that Leonard Nimoy would be the last TOS actor to die. I suppose it was because he played a Vulcan and they live long lives-kinda silly of me to think that way.

Yes, we think of them as larger than life, and they are just like up.

They had a nice tribute on NPR radio yesterday.

This is an interesting link to a story about Leonard Nimoy The Jewish roots of Leonard Nimoy and ?live long and prosper? - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2015/02/27/the-jewish-roots-of-leonard-nimoy-and-live-long-and-prosper/)

I too watched an interview some years ago with him explaining where it came from. Fascinating. But when watching The Search for Spock when the team is assembled on Vulcan, the symbolism in the production background design / wardrobe appears unusual. Perhaps even Illuminati-esque.

Tonight's episode of TNG Remastered was Conspiracy. I wanted to see if the end scene where Remmick is hosting a number of parasites has been re-worked. Unfortunately, no. It's still got the hilarious stop-motion animation. That scene really could have done with a CGI update.

Another thing I'm starting to find annoying is that the original 4:3 aspect ratio has been kept. Fair enough for a Blu-Ray release. It would have been nice to see a cropped 16:9 version on the tv like they've done with TOS which is really filling the screen nicely. Incidentally, today's TOS episode was Who Mourns for Adonais?

I really wish they had improved TNG when they remastered them, sound like they miss plenty. With the special effects today you would think they could do a lot to improve the series. I suppose the cost were a factor.

Is that not like remaking it by changing the FX, like they did to TOS? Sure some effect were an improvement, except the 1701. I DON'T LIKE AZTEC PATTERNS.

Anything done to the Bug zipping across the floor the way it did would be an improvement. That scene still cracks me up! Did they use marshmellows with sprayed on food die to make those? And why were they missing after Shatner was seen on stage?

Where is Rick Berman when we need him?:)

SHATNER, DROP THAT! You don't know where/what/how it came about....too late.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/lau_zpsf2785ec5.gif

That "bug" scene did look like it was made by a group of high school theater students. I remembered being disappointed by it and thinking that B rated old monster movies did a better job. The episode itself was good with a great plot only to be let down but poor special effects.

Indeed. I think they could have gone a bit further and fixed a few things without 'Lucasing' it.

On 'Net Neutrality', the only breakdown I could find was done by Alex through the medium of rant on his Friday show. http://rss.infowars.com./20150313_Fri_Alex.mp3

There wasn't any coverage in the UK about this NN business, but that maybe because it's a US thang. Although I wouldn't be surprised if someone decides to spring that nonsense on us here.

There is no such thing as 'Net Neutrality', you are either for it or against it.

I don't trust the FCC to make it better, it's a power grab. They will make all kinds of new rules and add new fees witch will end up costing we the end users money.

When I heard that the FCC was getting involved, my first though, fees and taxes. Just because of greed on the part of Internet Providers, we are going to have to pay more. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/thunhappy.gif

Welcome to a new Government controlled entity, it goes downhill from here!

Spectre8750 is right it's all downhill. The FCC will ask for more people so it can enforce these new rules and grow to be like the IRS.

My sympathies, chaps. Fortunately I'm not subject to the FCC. Here we have occasional laws passed through parliament that are enforceable by police authorities. Funnily enough nobody from the government has been arrested for bulk collection even though it was ruled as illegal by a judge.

We are way too overly socialized here.

Let me rephrase that, Our Government is way out of control!

Let me rephrase that, Our Government is way out of control!

Hehe, I understood it that way. :)

It is getting scary -it seems that the government no longer serves the people but it's own interest.

I read that Obummer likes the idea of having mandatory voting. He has no clue, people don't vote because the poli-tick-ians don't listen/care about us, so why vote for them.

Obama believes that most of the uninformed voters who don't vote now will vote for his party. Instead of forcing people to vote-people should be better informed before they vote. Low information voters are dangerous to our future they have no clue who really they are voting for. Only that they belong to one party or the other.

Started watching Star Trek Voyager, so far I am not impressed but I hope it gets better.

In my opinion it does. Do as I did, think not Star Trek, think Sci-Fi.
