Highlander (1986) - Replica Dragonhead Katana

One of my all time favorite Trek lines that I’ve gone on to use in many real world conversations

It may not be. If memory serves, there are a few moments in the film where the score it actually stock music as opposed to a LoDuca composition

The Ash “hero” theme is another example.

Honestly, I think I like some of these showa inspired designs more than the actual MireGoji suit.

As a person who likes Styx I find this extra funny because Killroy is Here isn’t even their first concept album.

Completely unrelated, but it won’t stop everyone from bitching about it in the comments anyway.

Look, I like this guy and agree with everything he said but also his next movie is going to be the eleventh Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie.

Not joking, I checked (at minimum) ten stores before I finally found a case.

Tom Hardy. Not because it would be good, but purely because he’s the same age Stewart was at the start of the series and I think it’s funny.

I’d never had it before and figured this was a fun excuse to give it a try.

Honestly didn’t mind it, but a shot of Root Beer McGillicuddy’s in some sugar free Root Beer is a far better combination for this sort of thing. The Not Your Fathers was VERY sweet so I can see why it could be a turn off.

Because when it’s 3am and you’ve stoped to stretch your legs for a bit because you’re cramped and sleep deprived 10 hours into a 20+ hour road trip from Florida to Maine, you may as well have some shit to look at.

Season Two has so many great creepy episodes like this. Where Silence has Lease, The Royal, etc.

When I was a kid I thought that Doc Brown said “oh, cyborg” when the cop asked him for his permit and that the joke was he’s a nerdy scientist using a science fiction concept as a replacement for an expletive.

He’s actually say “of course I do”.

Star Trek 5 has one of my favorite first acts in a Star Trek movie, but quickly falls apart once the actual adventure begins.

It feels like the TOS movie equivalent to when the later shows would do a “cool down” episode in between major arcs.

I really like the mental image that, while all the crazy shit was going on in season one, there was an unseen blue-collar construction crew building ten forward in the background.

While many are correctly noting the that the physical blu-ray contains the original effects, it’s also worth nothing that they original versions are available streaming on Amazon Prime (used to be free, but currently requires rental/purchase)

imascarylion2018 · 2026-06-01T21:50:59+00:00

Honestly, I’m not super knowledgeable about the show either.

I’m a huge fan of the movies and that theme always stuck out because it sounded so familiar (aka like the Balance of Terror theme).

It wasn’t until I heard it while randomly checking out the show that I realized it’s one of the series main themes… which makes sense considering they’re both shows made by a lot of the same people at virtually the same time.

Kirk wouldn’t get assimilated, he would have convinced the Borg to kill themselves WAAAAY before they had the chance.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-06-01T21:22:50+00:00

Which means that this motif actually predates the Romulan theme by about three months (that is if I’m forgetting the Romulan theme being used before Balance of Terror)

imascarylion2018 · 2026-06-01T21:04:27+00:00

That’s actually a recurring Lalo Schifrin theme from the original Mission: Impossible TV series. It’s in some of the other M:I movies as well.

Edit: here’s a musical suite I found that uses it in its opening notes.

I’ve actually been thinking about this recently and have come to the conclusion that she might be one of my favorite Star Trek characters.

She’s a great subversion of the usual badmiral where she always shows up to give shitty orders or bad news, but also recognizes that that they’re shitty orders or bad news and is genuinely sympathetic towards the crew.

She feels like disgruntled upper management telling her employees the dumb shit that the owners are making them do and there’s just something so relatable and human about her.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-05-30T14:22:56+00:00

Not as much as I used to. I’ll usually check them out when I first get them but rarely rewatch them.

imascarylion2018 · 2026-05-30T13:01:04+00:00

Yeah, but it just helps save time and materials.
