Netflix removes all Star Trek Jan 8 2026, and I spent the last few years catching up on the DEEP SPACE 9, VOYAGER and ENTERPRISE I had only ever seen the first 1 or 2 seasons of when they first came out. Mostly very good.
The last few weeks re-watching the original series, which was always on a Sunday afternoon in continuous repeat when I was in High School and I mostly didn't watch. Rewatching now struck me how good some episodes were, and how terrible others are! A few, like CATSPAW, I didn't bother to finish and went and found lists of best episodes to see instead. Much of the dialogue and acting is so stilted and unrealistic, and then there is the American '67~'68 culture good and bad.
But it still became a cultural beacon.
We can currently watch PRIME and NETFLIX, and I have been shocked a lot of the time how few movies there are on these services. I have never seen The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, and it is just one of the many I have gone to have a look at and found not available. They seem to have focused on their latest "hit series" and little else.
So with the start of the new year, we seem to have changed our routine a little. For the last months I had been making a Music+Comics thing once or twice a week, and don't feel any need to do that at the moment. Had a forced break for a week with visiting kids and grandson, and it just isn't worth the effort at the moment. I did do the FRUMP-OKER thing, but that was a bit different using a "cover not-cover" and not a thing I do regularly.
Music wise been back listening to Irving Force and his Metal SynthWave. More my thing than most of Steve Vai or MINISTRY, even if I do love random tracks of their stuff.
Will probably continue to think, go for long walks listening to music and ponder which creative direction to go in next for a bit longer...
But made this after going for a long walk, then taking a nap...
