I wonder how big Janeway's file is at the Department of Temporal Investigations, and I wonder how it compares to Kirk's.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
Looks like there were plenty of iconic albums that came out but at the time I mainly bought compilations.
However - there was this one which I adored!

Trying to work out why #GoogleEarth have blurred this guy's hand. He seems a nice enough chap.

Has anyone noticed the number of 'Explained' channels now popping up on YouTube? All made up from AI garbage and horrific fake robotic voices and random stock photos which have no relevance to the subject matter. I've started blocking the channels now - anyone else?

You're having a dinner party with characters from Star Trek. What four are you inviting?

It's been a few weeks now since the end of Alien Earth's first season and can I just say how unsettling I STILL find this thing? Probably more than the xenomorph.

I've been playing the Star Trek tables on Pinball FX on my Xbox. Honestly, they're a lot of fun. However, couldn't they find better voice actors to play the characters? It took me ages to realise that one voice was meant to be O'Brien - he sounds nothing like him!

Some lovely work in there. I see some video game companies in there too, so just out of interest, have you ever recreated the original Code Masters logo?

Currently listening to this Big Finish audio. It was made in 2020 but feels like what's happening now.

Anyone else still have nightmares about Pipes from the 1992 BBC "documentary" Ghostwatch?
I slept with the lights on for the next week, even though I'd worked out it was fake.

So I know I'm late to the party but I've been listening to the Big Finish audio adventure 'Whispers of Terror' from 1999. How have I never embraced the Big Finish world of Doctor Who audio adventures before??? This story is great - really embraced the audio medium.
