ST: TNG "Nemesis" trailer out

At Apple.
I’ve read no advance on the flick, except remarks from Braga and Berman concerning story development and casting made in January; it appears that Data’s brother Lore is back, possibly in a supporting role, and that the Nosferatu people menace the Federation. Something about the bad guys makes me wonder if they tie in to the Temporal Cold War plot thread on Enterprise.

Data is shown flinging himself into the void at a run, as a Suliban character did on the new show, as well.

This is to be the end of that hearty franchise, TNG, I guess.

Frankenstein on the Pledge

in his longish entry for June 26th Paul says everything I wanted to about the recent supreme court decision that ye Prez has termed “ridiculous”. Congressional defiance of this decision simply underlines the growing distance between political reality and the one we actualy happen to live in. But then, we all knew the constitution was in serious fucking trouble during the election, and naturally, subequent events have done much to bear out this knowledge.

SPQR, indeed.
