So we doin' introductions now?
Hi! I was slingin' tech podcasts at TWiT.tv for nine years before I left in 2019 to work in local television (lol).
I like Star Trek, computer and television history, aviation, architecture (pro brutalism), civil engineering, game dev, film, music, film music. 👋

This was the first Star Trek thing I saw. My dad took me to the theater to see it, back when I only knew Star Trek (TNG) as "dad's show". Later went on to rent all the other movies (in the weird order of 6-4-5-1-2-3). That, along with Voyager premiering right after is what got me hooked (obsessed?).
Star Trek Generations was released 31 years ago today.

Lots of valid concerns about any possible WB sale, but my main concern is that this Chuck Jones cartoon might go back in the vault.

Suddenly this shirt I picked up 10 years ago has new meaning.
...I probably shouldn't wear it for a while.

Actually I image there is a biological inhibitor as part of the alterations, that can be activated if you know a beam is coming. Perhaps activated by tensing certain muscles in sequence.
The beam had to cancel due to prolonged beam out, but all the energy had to go somewhere (bright flash).
