Propping up a dodgy memory

At one end of the SF animation scale there's the state of the art: Avatar.

And then there's episode 1 of the 1973 Star Trek animated series "More tribbles, more troubles". William Shatner doesn't make a very convincing animated figure.

And so we come to the end of the ST schedule with Star Trek: Nemesis. Actually, saw it yesterday but have had laptop trauma which has delayed the report. This will be brief. Maybe.

Somewhere along the line I lost track of my Trek, so it was a pleasant surprise to rediscover Star Trek: First Contact as one of the better films of the TNG franchise.

It's an old saw that only the even-numbered Star Trek films are any good. It's certainly a rollercoaster ride when you see them in quick succession. ( Read more... )

Thanks to a power outage and leaking roof at Husband's bass student's house, a rest day for le Tour, and the unforgivable absence of Top Gear from SBS, we found ourselves watching yet more Trek this evening.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home aka The One With The Whales
Space Bikini Score: 0
Frightening Hair Memories Score: 100

That's more like it! ST II looked and felt much more like a ST movie than a desperate overfunded scriptless mishmash of shots. Shatner still reasonably trim, but the wig now has a perm that is quite terrifying. No Space Bikinis* :-( but it was fun.

Like an indoor potplant I seek the sun, but sometimes have limited capabilities of movement. Husband rescued me today and took me for a drive. We usually go directly to the coast and park just south of Hillarys, but today we went a little further.

The Trek-fest continues, but the cracks are showing. ( Read more... )

Last night I had a plan to kick start my brain this morning to match the physical progress: coffee. Coffee also equals 'location other than home' which is a Good Thing. I was tempted to have my coffee at the zoo, but since I wanted to also attempt work-like activity I settled for the coffee and sandwich shop (it can't be called a cafe) in the middle of my small local shopping centre. And ye gods it worked a charm!

( I must really like my butcher. )
