I wasn't a wrestling fan growing up. But the North Carolina state historical marker for Andre the Giant is a big deal for any of us who watched him in "The Princess Bride" or play Bigfoot in "The Six Million Dollar Man." #nced

I'd highly recommend. You get a lot more detail since the remastering. The ships look especially crisp now.

Kelsey should have stuck with trying to steal the trilithium residue from a California class ship. Going after Starfleet's flagship was a bit much. #TNGSunNight

Warner Brothers remastered Babylon 5 a few years ago so it looks pretty crisp now. I have the Blu-Rays. But you can also watch it for free on Amazon Prime Video. #TNGSunNight

Thank you @madonnaots.com for tonight’s fun romp. Back next week for Picard’s duet. #TNGSunNight

Great Watch, Everyone! 🖖🏻

I highly recommend watching B5. I consider Season 3 of the show to be the best sci-fi season I've ever watched. It's a rough 1st season. But anyone who survived TNG's 1st season can make it through B5's. #TNGSunNight

Worf is questionable in a fight. But he can hunt down saddles. #TNGSunNight

Picard could have said yipee ki-yay as Kelsey’s ship explodes. #TNGSunNight

The episode didn’t shy away from having a fight between a man and a woman. Kelsey more than held her own against Picard. #TNGSunNight

Picard claims another victim. #TNGSunNight

Kelsey is doing her Gruber impersonation here. But she’s more ruthless. I don’t recall Hans killing any of his own men in “Die Hard” to increase his share of the money. #TNGSunNight

Neil does not know the first rule about being tech support to a ruthless criminal. Always give them a reason to keep you around. #TNGSunNight

I guess it’s not a surprise that Picard knows how to use a crossbow. #TNGSunNight

"Starship Mine" is a double Babylon 5 feature. Kelsey is played by Marie Marshall, aka Dodger. #TNGSunNight

That’s a good face palm. If Worf was here he’d have been the one to do it and then knocked on his butt instead of Riker. #TNGSunNight

“Starship Mine” isn’t a perfect episode. But it’s got good action and some great one-liners. It’s amazing how good it is considering they were still rewriting the script during filming. #TNGSunNight

Of course Worf would keep a crossbow in his quarters. But imagine if Picard had taken the bat’leth as well? #TNGSunNight

The real Mot would be insulted by that remark. #TNGSunNight

It’s arguably more chilling hearing Satler’s scream than to actually see him be killed by the baryon sweep, especially considering the state of early ‘90s visual effects. #TNGSunNight

We got cheated out of a Picard roll underneath the closing door moment. #TNGSunNight
