Thirty-Nine
History of the Future
I’m finishing up the non-episodic features of this wonderful blu-ray set.
Seeing footage, deleted scenes, ‘new’ bloopers from 50 years ago is amazing. The interviews with the actors who were in the selected episodes are great.
All the stories told here, by the people who were there, is like rediscovering Star Trek all over again.
And there’s an option to watch the episodes with the non-remastered, original effects, which is very nostalgic.
Highly recommended to Star Trek fans everywhere.
All Wings Report In…
Hero
It’s no secret that I’ve been a space enthusiast all my life. So hearing the news about the passing of John Glenn today simply adds to the misery that I’ve felt through most of 2016.
In college, long before his return to space at age 77, I wrote a report on him for a class called “The Individual in History”. We had an option to present the report orally to class, which also involved dressing up as the person who your report was on. I opted not to do that.
Others can say more about the man better than I can. I’ll just say that he was a hero to me.
Godspeed, John Glenn.
Eventful
The last week has been rather eventful, both good and bad.
The CW successfully showed that a multi-night multi-series crossover with superheroes can work. And it was awesome.
At work a division director was ‘retired’, and a coworker was lost in the Oakland warehouse fire. And through all that, I’ve actually managed to stay sane. Angry and upset, but sane.
And other stuff happened.
Right now I’m focused on getting through the rest of this year, with Rogue One and Christmas waiting in the next couple of weeks.
Here’s to an uneventful rest of 2016.
