Well today was kind of a waste. I finagled some time off for a dentists and doctors appointment, and picked up a fitted jacket from the post office.
I started getting sick yesterday and called both the dentist and doctor. The dentist cancelled the appointment. The doctor...
...suggested coming in early for a Covid/flu test.
The fitted jacket didn't fit, of course. Because im trans and no one makes clothes that look good on my shape. Sending that back.
Got to the doctor who gave me a rapid Covid test, but then said I was too sick for an...
...appointment! So she sent me home. Good news, it's not Covid and it's not the flu. "Lots of fluids, lots of rest."
I feel like I wasted my day. There was a problem with my PTO so I had to waste a personal holiday for the time. And my doctor is an hour drive each way.
In...
...the end, I didn't get anything done other than waste a floating holiday.
Boogers.
I've been fasting for over fifteen hours at this point. Indian food it is.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Watchalong Thread starts here! Image
I'm gonna be up-front with y'all here. I'm one of the wierdos who DOESN'T like the whales movie. After three pretty heavy movies we need something light, but ST4 comes across as overly goofy to me, versus "fish out of water."
Not helping is Leonard Roseman's music, which has a super different and almost "Disney" feel to it. I wish they'd stuck with James Horner, but for ST3, that was Paramount's doing. Nimoy wanted Roseman's music for THAT, too. Image

Star Trek III Watchalong Thread Starts HERE! Image
How I watched the movies for a long time in my childhood: Image
There's a transition between Shatner's credit and Kelley's credit that is long enough to put Nimoy's credit in. But it's not there as a subconscious sign that "Spock is missing." ImageImageImage

Doctor said to rest up and drink lots of fluids, so I think I'm gonna spend the day watching the Star Trek 2/3/4 trilogy....

Really wish James Horner had done the music for ST:4. Kind of tie it all together....
I remember loving these uniforms when I first saw them. But when you think about the TOS and TNG uniforms, there's a bit fancy for everyday wear. The cadet uniforms feel more functional (and are repurposed TMP uniforms, proving that movie just needed some color to look better). ImageImage
Those vector graphics still look pretty keen.

Also: NO SMOKING ON THE BRIDGE ImageImage

So with my fears about streaming rights assuaged, I took the jump and bought Season 3 of B5 (the best season in my opinion).

It's one of my favorite shows, and every copy I've had of it has been sub-par. The DVDs were wide-screen which was nice, but the CGI transfer was...
...botched. I had the entire series on VHS, recorded off-air, but that was just as you'd expect - certainly not the best image, but because of the CGI botch, I preferred them to the DVDs. Even considered taking the VHS CGI shots and re-editing them into the DVD footage...
...cause honestly? It was better.

This. This is NICE. A little grainy, but miles better than the DVD and VHS transfers. The CGI tends to be very crisp, although the image gets soft in scenes where live-action and CGI are on the screen at the same time. Sure, it's 4:3 and...

At the risk of crapping on Star Trek: The Motion Picture before it's 40th anniversary, I really think I've figured out why that movie is kind of plodding.

Don't get me wrong, I love the movie. It's my favorite cause it's the closest the movies have gotten to Pulp SciFi.
But it really is slow, lacks character moments and just goes on and on. Robert Wise's Director's Cut does fix things in the case of speeding the movie up, but it's still lacking in a lot of action or character moments.
Ever since I got my hands on the first draft of the movie written by Harold Livingston back when it was a two hour TV pilot, I tried to figure out where everything went wrong.
