TNG, “Half a Life.” Terrific. First episode by the guy that wrote “Inner Light,” the best of all the episodes of all the series. – 03:26 AM GMT
First appearance by Michelle Forbes, apparently as Cindy Lou Who. – 03:27 AM GMT
Barrett uses her relatively recent loss of Roddenberry throughout the episode to good effect. – 03:29 AM GMT

@mubay in that bedroom pic I see a Jello Biafra poster and a weird half-forgotten Trek poster too, upper left, like Bantam cover art. – 05:17 AM GMT

Kim Thompson, RIP. His advocacy of BD in the US was deeply appreciated by me. I’m lucky to have a few albums that passed through his hands. – 08:12 PM GMT

Inexplicably, we missed the Data/Lore/Pops episode “Brothers” on our rewatch of s04. What better way to celebrate Father’s Day? So good! – 02:33 AM GMT

@TheEntropicEye maybe Kelly invented the lapel badge as ironic signifier. I GO POGO. Gave my dad some original strips a few years back. – 06:48 AM GMT
You know, those crazy leatherman peaked cap outfits Starfleet wears in nuTrek do sort of point to the goatee timeline. – 10:31 PM GMT

should unpack my overall distanced stance with regard to DC/Marvel underwear beings. I’m just not as interested in superhero stuff as SF. – 11:13 PM GMT
but what distinguishes the two? well, obviously, Marvel or DC. And the medium. But I love the medium. – 11:14 PM GMT
My besties in comix? Walt Kelly and the Hernandez bros. attn @xaimeh et al. Stan, Steve D, Bob K, S&S? Well, I, what, respect them. – 11:17 PM GMT

Why is Star Trek’s multimedia material, schlock, fan-produced foolishness, and the occasional genuine gem, so much more compelling to me? – 11:31 PM GMT
I can’t actually answer this question, I think. Sorry to hear the Superman movie is disappointing. I’m unlikely to notice. Kal-El’s no Kirk. – 11:33 PM GMT

@paulconstant that’s a fine plan. Try cutting all the verbs, adverbs, or nouns, that helps sometimes. I actually always loved cutting. – 03:21 AM GMT
