Hailee Steinfeld’s Hawkeye and She Hulk were also great and completely dropped.

Kellan Lutz plays Shatner and he doesn't do a terribly good job of it. But if you're curious to see the entirety of his performance, which includes him telling the story of kissing Nichelle Nichols on screen, then here is the rest of it.

@beesbuzz.biz got me onto it. I think it’s pretty good.

The Belknap class was the predecessor of the actual US Navy California class ships. You could also go up the west coast and call it an Oregon class. Or Washington class if the Oregon is a refit era version between the two.

And a boss battle solution that was foreshadowed and extremely cleverly implemented.

A male turkey preens as a way to protect the juvenile behind him. They both stand on a street in front of a sidewalk and car.

My neighborhood is full of turkeys. Pray for me.

Does this go with his personal relaxation light?

My favorite bit is when Mike Okuda is like "Hurley went too far trying to do what he thought Gene wanted. If Gene said he liked blue everything suddenly had to be blue."

11 Times Star Trek The Next Generation DID Have Conflict Gene allegedly demanded a crew of goody-goody gumdrops, but TNG’s early years say otherwise.

I wrote a whole thing about it a while back.

Meanwhile, Hurley not only tossed Gates McFadden for not wanting to do sexist shit, but clearly misunderstood the "no melodrama" section of the series bible and turned it into the "no conflict" rule. In "Chaos" he both doesn't get it, hates it, and pushes it harder than he admits Gene even did.

@bryanmurphy.bsky.social surprised me in a good way by saying Maurice Hurley is the villain of "Chaos on the Bridge". The usual go to is Leonard Maizlish who I think is the scapegoat for Gene's kinks. Nothing Maizlish is blamed for is incompatible with what Gene was doing and saying in the 1970's.

He sounded like a floundering hypocrite and I'm glad Michel Martin took him to task. Imagine wanting people to believe that you just tell ugly jokes without wanting the greater society to embrace the beliefs behind those jokes.

It’s terribly ironic that ”Experimenter” lambasts “The Tenth Level” for making the Milgram character a gentile while casting a gentile as Milgram himself. But it’s even funnier that it calls “Tenth”, which is a well crafted drama, a bad movie while it is itself a heavy handed exposition machine.

Two creepy people stand in an alley wearing Victorian clothes. The woman holds a handled case which is firing a beam out of it. The man holds a serpent cane. From TNG: Time’s Arrow Part 1.

Darem hyperventilates as Jayden asks him to breathe in a still from Starfleet Academy: Ko'Zeine.

William Shatner holds a clipboard as he observes a test subject work a control board in the 1976 TV movie "The Tenth Level.

Everyone's got cold feet on the pod this week. Darem is nervous about his upcoming marriage in #StarfleetAcademy "Ko'Zeine" and only 68% of William Shatner's test subjects want to electrocute a man to death in "The Tenth Level". #SFA #Startrek

Yeah. It's unclear on that point because you never seen what Geordi actually installs (and he does it in a different spot than Soong did for Lore). But they also don't remove it from the casing. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Funny that the TV prop that would be seen in 480i would be so small while the prop for the wall spanning movie screen was 10 times bigger.

Kill it merely for it’s obsession with Victorian era pseudoscience.

Boiled brussel sprouts with condensed cheese sounds like one of those nightmare mid century recipes you’d find in a Kraft ad.

Those are at least single breasted. But double?

The man is suggesting a t shirt under a double breasted blazer. What it the world?

Hilarious that they thought a house in Miami would ever have a fireplace.

Yeah, it’s really text. But it’s very funny to read forums and reviews and it‘s all “It’s about friendship and brotherhood!” Well, Davidge is watching Jerry slide out of the lake naked through binoculars like he’s a perv in an 80’s college sex comedy and it just gets more explicit from there.

Enemy Terrarium Podcast Episode · Ship Full of Jerks · December 9, 2025 · 1h 12m

@ryanthomasriddle.com and I reviewed Enemy Mine along with SNW: Terrarium and talked a lot about the queer subtext that’s often overlooked in that film as well as its incredible and unique (for the time) take on fatherhood and masculinity.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy | Official Trailer YouTube video by Warner Bros.

You’re telling me Gene Coon wrote a mummy movie and it’s just now getting to theaters?

Ottawa Citizen, April 12, 1967.

When a transportation mixup resulted in Star Trek's cancellation a few weeks ago, the female cries of anguish were as loud and numerous as the male protests.

Moreover, studio publicists say, it's the ladies who fill some of the biggest, bulging-est fan-mail bags.

Why wouldn’t you need this? I think I need it.

TIL Nichelle’s birth name was Grace Dell Nichols.
