Crystal to the rescue!

"If you can't make your own, store bought is fine."

You know, as a 80s and 90s comic person, and a Robotech fan, I've never read the Eternity/Academy Robotech II: The Sentinels comic beyond the first few comics. I walked away from the comics world around that time.

I really should. Apparently it went off script later in the series. I do know a weekly outline was done, but were all 85 scripts? I've seen a few sources saying all 85 scripts were written, but given that the comics and novels appear to go their own way about two thirds into the story, I've wondered about that.

Feeling rather apt these days....

Favorite Star Trek: The Original Series episode?

I felt like watching TOS, and put on one of my fave episodes, The Immunity Syndrome.

It's a very good sci-fi episode, where the characters are faced with something so perplexing they don't know how to handle it, and have to learn and understand their way through the first half of the show.

Once they figure it out, it goes from Sci-Fi to character drama as they need to figure out who is best to deal with the problem and the reactions to possibly losing that person. And finally a last ditch fix that could legitimately end with the deaths of everyone while attempting to save the universe.

The effects are also pretty good for 1968.

It's a really great episode among great episodes, and for me, the one that stands out when I think of TOS.

Ah, Seven Can Soup. When you need a lot of food, very cheaply, right now.

Apparently, we've encountered Romulans on this flight, and have gone to Red Alert. SHIELDS UP!

On the ground in Las Vegas. My window is filthy.

It's not often I get to pull out the laptop on a flight, and certainly not comfortably. This is what my laptop usually looks like on these trips....

Also: MOOPSY.

Who says Southwest doesn't have business class?

On the ground in El Paso with a two hour lay over.

Oh hey. Schlotzsky's at the airport. Don't mind of I do.

Well, I'm not hurting for entertainment. I can play some catch up....

Well since my flight is two hours delayed, I may as well grab one last one for the road...

These posters look like I asked AI to give me pictures of David Tenant as The Doctor reaching towards the camera and it gave me several to choose from....
