One of the things I love most about Star Trek is that is goes on forever. You like a character? Beyond the episodes, there's more than likely at least dozen novels about them. Not enough? Have a ton of comic books where they go on even more adventures. Still need more? Here's a thousand fanfics. Here's a background graphic from an episode seen for 0.2 of a second detailing their education and qualifications. Horny for them? There's art for that, fic for that and maybe even naughty photos of the actor. Starships your thing? Here's a technical manual explaining how things work, and a set detailed floorplans. Want more? Here are books on the histories of the pretend starships, with endless variant designs and backstory for their creation. Still not enough? Walk around the ship on the laptop or computer as if you're there. You like the aliens? Here's a novel detailing their backstory. Here's a pretend travel guide to their planet. Still not enough? Here's an old Star Trek book with details about their anatomy. Still want more? Here's a fan diagram of the alien's penis.
Reed making tacos; a thrilling saga.

GREAT GREAT SHOWDOWNS HUNT: Day 7 (part 1)
1. Manhattan, USA - These two lovebirds just moved into a new apartment where the one lovebird set up her clay throwing equipment and the other lovebird sits behind her and sexily helps her. Where was this new apartment?
2. Baltimore, USA - This young woman is going shopping with her mother for some new things that will look nice on a dance party television show. Where do they film them doing this shopping?
3. Toronto, CAN - This water creature was stolen from his watery home, but is keeping him safe at this woman’s place. One night he decides to sneak out to see a movie next door. Where did he go to do that?
What is happening: I will post some little paintings of characters from popular film scenes from March 9th through 16th. These paintings shall be placed into envelopes and hidden somewhere at the locations in which these scenes were filmed. This could happen in your town!
The first person to find these paintings shall keep them as a gift from me! I only ask that you post a picture of the found painting in your possession, so I can congratulate you in front of the world. Post it on twitter or instagram or email me. LET THE HUNT COMMENCE!
THERE’S ONE IN TORONTO
I HID IT

One of these guys has gotten himself into a tough situation that even his abiding cannot fix. His friend has an idea of how to handle things. They meet in a diner to discuss. Where did they film this diner scene?
I would keep an eye on what Scott C is doing here this week, because a little birdie told me these paintings aren't just being hidden in LA...
Squirrel Girl: Infinity Comic #1 (2022)

Disappointed to learn that Ark Encounter, the creationist theme park in Kentucky whose primary and by primary I mean only attraction is a replica of Noah's Ark built with public tax incentives & that pitches itself as a field trip destination for public schools, has abandoned their plans to build an "immersive" Plagues of Egypt ride, but delighted to learn the Bible theme park is building a Tower of Babel instead
This wasn't a bit btw. The Ark Encounter creationist theme park is showing their strong commitment to Biblical literalism by building a new Tower of Babel
"Lord willing, we hope to build a reconstruction of what the tower of Babel might have looked like at the Ark Encounter." I mean the Lord was very much not willing the first time around. Like I know what you mean but when it comes to the Tower of Babel the Lord was very much not Ο Γιάννης είναι ο τράγος φοβάστε το ελάφι
God: I have used the Tower of Babel as a cautionary tale
Evangelicals: At last we have built the Tower of Babel, from the classic Bible story Don’t Build A Tower of Babel
