Love, Logic, and Why I Don’t Write Dystopia: Some Rambling Thoughts on the Occasion of Leonard Nimoy’s Passing
When The Wife and I were on our honeymoon, one of the stops was the Boston Museum of Science. I’m always a fan of science museums. During our visit, we saw a movie in their OmniMax theater. I don’t remember … Continue reading

Wow! Look at all the strange new worlds and new civilizations!
Behold the single greatest piece of Star Trek fan art ever. (The more episodes of the Original Series you’ve seen and can remember, the more you’ll appreciate the staggering awesomeness of this.) Star Trek The Original Series by *dusty-abell on … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday
“Darmok” is one of the most memorable episodes, and for me a high point, of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Enterprise makes contact with a people, the Tamarians, whose language has resisted all efforts at translation, to the point … Continue reading

The obvious choice here is to talk about Q, but I couldn’t decide which one. This Q? Or this one? Luckily, this is my personal blog, where the only rules that apply are the ones that I choose for myself, … Continue reading
A to Z: Klingons
