January 5, 1968: premiere date of Star Trek episode ‘The Gamesters of Triskelion’.
Captain Kirk, Chekov and Uhura are kidnapped by powerful disembodied aliens and forced to fight in gladiatorial contests for the aliens’ gambling entertainment.
Not a big fan of this episode, truth be told.
“300 quatloos on the newcomer!”
’nuff said.
Unlike last year, if I miss a day (or two or a week) of posting here, I won’t back date any posts.
I just hope I have something to say every now and then.
I’m surprised that I didn’t put up a review of Jumanji (which I enjoyed a lot).
I’m still hoping that they release a Ruby Roundhouse POP! figure.
December 29th, 1967: premiere date of the Star Trek episode ‘The Trouble with Tribbles’.
Tribbles – purring, fluffy, and fertile creatures – disrupt the exploitation of a disputed planet between the Klingons and Federation.
Definitely one of my favorite episodes. I have a weakness to small furry animals.
I’m not a huge fan of musicals. I don’t hate them, they’re just lower on my scale of things I wanna watch.
Might explain why I don’t go as bonkers for stuff like Hamilton.
I can’t remember the last live-action musical movie I’d seen before The Greatest Showman. Which I liked.
The trailer intrigued me since the first time I saw it. While I had rarely gone to the circus in my youth, I do remember attending one at the Cow Palace.
The movie was fun, more fast paced that I expected, with some good songs. I’m still debating whether or not to get the soundtrack from iTunes.
Anyways, I recommend it if you’re looking for a change of pace from the super hero or sci-fi film.
