I swear I bumped my head, am in a coma, and all of this is a weird ass dream. #TheInnerLight

Eline is the Trek character that I would tell my wife she resembled. That's why I try to send out birthday greetings to Margot Rose. I'm a couple days late, but Happy Birthday. #TheInnerLight is #1 Trek episode, so far.

Miles also lived a lifetime in a blink of an eye… but it sucked.

Old Picard kind of looks like Larry David.

They said the name of the planet was Catan. But if the star went supernova a thousand years ago, how would they know what the name of the planet was? The only ones who knew were the indigenous inhabitants. 🤔 #AllStarTrek #TNG #TheInnerLight

Kamin/Picard's young son is played by Daniel Stewart (Patrick Stewart's real-life son) #AllStarTrek #TNG #TheInnerLight

This simulated experience is rough, but at least Picard didn't have O'Brien's jail experience in #hardtime. 😖

My sister has recently been going through a bunch of our old childhood VHS tapes; When I visited her today, she showed me a bit of Trekkie treasure she found on one of them.

What would happen if you lived an entire lifetime in the span of five minutes? Well, today I'm going to tell you a story that links science fiction to Chinese philosophy and The Beatles.

The Inner Light and Butterfly Dreams: Star Trek’s Ties to the Beatles and Chinese Philosophy

There is a fine thread that runs through the topics of Star Trek, The Beatles, and Chinese philosophy. Don't believe me? Well, I'm going to tell you all about it.

#Funfact The actor who played Batai in #TheInnerLight also played the corrupt QM officer in #Glory. Thanks for listening to Klink's #MovieTED. And... Neelix was also in Glory.
