This article was written after the 2014 Godzilla movie. It is worth revisiting since Shin Godzilla
How did you write this without talking about Shin Godzilla or the Tohoku triple disaster?

Godzilla has a bad habit of walking through cities, shooting atomic breath through buildings and causing massive structural damage with each step. Who pays for cleaning up his mess? #GodzillaDay https://bit.ly/439Nq7P

Shin Godzilla follows the proud tradition of earlier Godzilla movies where the King of the Monsters stomps ashore in Japan causing massive property damage. Would the United States have a duty under our security treaties with Japan to fight Godzilla? #GodzillaDay https://bit.ly/2ZLkLYH

The fictional world of Godzilla King of the Monsters showed San Francisco with damaged buildings overgrown with vegetation. Did the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda, Sausalito, Marin, and possibly other cities, get condemned after Godzilla 2014? #GodzillaDay https://bit.ly/47Lm6ym

Have you ever watched the old Godzilla movies where he utterly destroys Japan and wonder what would happen to the people fleeing from his terror? If those individuals in Japan applied for refugee status in the United States, would they receive status here? #GodzillaDay https://bit.ly/4nF9AX5

Bela Lugosi’s role of Ygor in Son of Frankenstein and Ghost of Frankenstein is a character study in evil. Not just run of the mill random acts of ill will, but cold and calculated malice to kill all of the jurors who had originally convicted Ygor for death. https://bit.ly/3vZGXdU

After watching Section 32, the idea of #StarTrek TV movies has a lot of merit for telling anthology stories. Consider these ideas:
Enterprise-B adventure with Captain Demora Sulu
President Archer facing a political crisis in the Federation

Had at a great time at Star Trek San Francisco. Many people said it was their first con, which made me think of my first con, which was TimeCon in 1986, which I think was a Creation show. What was your first con? Post a photo if you have one.

Based on secondary sources, we estimate the Section 31 story is 42 years before Yesterday’s Enterprise (Stardate 43625.2/August 17, 2366) and the Section 31 Stardate (1292.4/April 17, 2324) and 67 years after Discovery went to the future (2257). Does anyone have a different estimate? #startrek
