So here’s my latest labour of love, a piece on Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, one of my favourite films. Inevitably it’s subjective (I sobbed at the end of my recent rewatch!), but I don’t mind that & am quite happy with it. 🙂 beyondthatnextstar.blogspot.com/2025/06/laur... #TwinPeaks #DavidLynch

TOS scene, and we're on a planet with a red backdrop. I think it's intended to be a sunset dusk thing but it's really just a red green screen. Regardless, partner, it's near nightfall l recon', and there's an old West looking building facade in the background. Front and center, celebrated work associates Kirk and Spock are standin'. Spock, with half his face in shadows, looks to be ponderin' sumpin' important. Kirk is lookin' down and away, with a slight twinge of discouragement. Closed caption reads, "Death is real."

Day 11: Frog on My Toe (1996) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N4i...

Unusually for Tori, this has a slight American folk feel to me, almost like something from the Appalachians? The piano writing & phrasing is especially exquisite.

Day 10: Hungarian Wedding Song (1996) www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDrw...

Only a minute long, & mostly instrumental, with sardonic lyrics & an obsessive, rhythmic tune that burrows its way into your head. Again, it could be no one else!

A very special & unique episode of TrekRanks to have been a part of, & I had so much fun with @shuttlepodtwo.bsky.social & @trekranks.com , as we explored this topic together! 🖖🏼😊✨

NEW! You can’t be afraid of the wind or the new TrekRanks as we salute Enterprise's heroic NX-01 captain with the “Top 5 Archer Episodes.” From “Broken Bow” to “Terra Prime” & all the temporal shenanigans in between, we cover it all in this very special episode!
🔊 www.trekranks.com/trekranks-podcast
Artwork for the 221st episode of TrekRanks featuring the "Top 5 Archer Episodes." Images include the TrekRanks logo in the upper left corner and an image of him in his dress whites from "These Are the Voyages" top center. Next to that is an image of Archer in his quarters on his bed with his dog Porthos. Across the bottom row from left to right are images of Archer in his captain's chair, in his EV Suit, in cowboy garb (from "North Star") and looking rather pissed off with the Enterprise J in the background from "Azati Prime." As always, to keep you guessing, remember that the episodes reflected in photos here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" section of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.

Star Trek Lower Decks scene. Editors note, Lower Decks is just the effing best and I really miss it. Ok, so we're on the USS Cerritos in a coridor and Captain Freeman is very casually and normal standing & chatting with a mostly black and brown monster/animal alien figure who is upside down and clinging to the ceiling. The monster looking alien thing has red and teal facial features that kind of seem like a rooster or maybe a hawk, but is more bear sized from a body mass standpoint. Closed caption reads, -"Thanks again for the mimosas." -"My pleasure."

So when Tori moved to England, she discovered Chas & Dave! 😁 Not sure how well known they are elsewhere; they were a quintessentially English thing.
