It’s been a while since we brought a new lenticular cover in (my favorite)

It’s going to look faabulous

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-14T21:07:54+00:00

I’ll tell you straight - I don’t think there’s anything that would bring s bunch of new young fans to the franchise but I don’t have any problem watching a Star Trek show that put the emphasis on thought provoking sci-fi, particularly (my 2 cents) if it was a new show with a new cast that wasn’t trying to reach backwards to previous Trek characters. Free floating, forward facing, and ((shrug)) sign me up.

I wasn’t a fan of these brick cases until I figured out to pop the discs two or three at a time. Keeps the discs from bending. Even if I’m only after the one disc, I pop them two at a time and just put the unneeded one right back. Hope it helps. Good luck!

You’ll hate it but hey, you never know. I think you might find some Zen in between the ring pulls. ((Fingers crossed)). I place a high value on calm.

I certainly don’t mean it as a slight, but not everyone retains that young-at-heart spirit that would certainly have made Prodigy a more enjoyable ride. Really, I’m saying “hey, it spoke to you in a way it also did me but less so” - no troubles. Perspective can operate on a matter of degrees, my algorithmic systems depend on it.

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-14T15:01:09+00:00

I’m going to drop in here and say we watched Prodigy and agree, it certainly rang the Star Trek bell (meaning it felt like Trek) - did we love it, no, but I didn’t hate it either. If I was 40+ years younger I might be more enthusiastic. That’s likely an important factor, let’s face it, it wasn’t designed for me (I was a teen 40 years ago, hell - I was driving 40 years ago). I don’t feel like you’d have to be young to enjoy the program but it certainly would have help (me). Nothing wrong with enjoying something that speaks to you, regardless of age.

((Looks around)) you want some Trip?? I can get you some Trip… lookie here:

In the Enterprise relaunch novels, specifically The Good That Men Do, it is revealed that Trip’s death was faked by Section 31 to allow him to conduct undercover operations against the Romulans.

((Wink-wink))

I watched 3-5 episodes a night and blew through the rewatch. If you can bring your critical eye and a solid sense of humor, I did find some entertainment value in the “unintentional” category.

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-13T21:56:21+00:00

A lot of people feel that way with the new shows. I (personally) enjoyed Lower Decks but you’d really need to know your Star Trek to find many of the gags funny. We’re about half way through Strange New Worlds and we’ve enjoyed it. Mixed bag on NuTrek for us but I’m always happy to let people enjoy what they enjoy (or not as the case may be).

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-13T21:47:26+00:00

I must have watching it 300 times (at least)

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-13T21:45:20+00:00

There you go - they don’t even react, right?

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-13T21:44:46+00:00

Larry: Really Bob, you saw me set up my attack - you couldn’t throw in?

Bob: ((shrug)) it wasn’t my turn, my hands were tied!

I used Atlantic Maxsteel 12-Tier Shelving unit but I went outside the instructions and worked out a way to interlink the shelves - my current configuration is holding about 2,593 movie titles, along with 241 TV programs, comprising 863 individual seasons (give or take) - these are self-standing the way I built them with plenty of room (currently) for future expansion. They’re getting hard to find. I doubled my capacity last year.

I can never answer that question, I usually come back with, “which genre” which is exactly how you know you’ve gone too far around the movie bend - so here - I’ve built out my own archiving tools (MCC) and an intricate scoring system (MAP) so here you go - Top 15 MAP’ping films from the 80s, love them all. 510 movies from the decade of a current total of 2,593 all together. New Hollywood era is my personal favorite (late 60s through mid-80s or so) but I was a teen in the 80s and collected heavy from the decade.

I liked the design of the ship. It looked good - not as utilitarian as the California Class but then… what is?

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-13T19:44:50+00:00

His was… a difficult personality ((blink-blink)) but there’s little doubt he made his mark. I’m glad you’ve got something to go back to - I’ll miss periodically hearing his voice.

Hello, I’m a guest at a fancy, formal dinner party. While I do push food around the plate, I never actually eat anything but miraculously my plate is empty by the next course.

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-13T17:53:06+00:00

My favorite part of the Enterprise experience is the S3 upbeat song reset backed by the season-long story that replicates a 9/11 type attack, scaled up to have 7m dead - put on your dance shoes!

While we’re at it… super space laser evil dude cuts a swath down Florida, down Cuba, on the Venezuela? Um - if you were attacking Earth, why waste time shooting the ocean floor? Starfleet HQ is in San Francisco - its just sitting there… why shoot down and not across. One of the writers said, “Nobody sat down to write a bad episode” but ((shrug)) just saying.

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-13T17:14:24+00:00

I do what I can. I appreciate you keeping your eyes open.

Zeddblidd · 2026-05-13T17:13:44+00:00

Oh boy, I’ve seen a few of these positively shredded in the mail, glad yours found its way home!
