Welcome to Star Trekking — random intersections in the final frontier.
So I was informed that my old tweet has come back around, for current events reasons.
Comparisons work!
Meanwhile, something else has been brought to my attention today.
When Sweden joined NATO the ceremony was accompanied by Jerry Goldsmith’s First Contact theme. Because of course it was.
Makes me more proud of my Swedish heritage than I have ever been before.
In honor of this august occasion, I am going to place my copy of this excellent book on my coffee table.
Don’t miss the Treksperts in conversation with Gary Lockwood. And when I say in conversation, I mean they listen as Lockwood unloads some choice stories.
Have you read Variety’s state of the franchise article yet?
Not sure I’m excited for “an origin story of sorts for the main timeline of the entire franchise.” Can the franchise crawl any further up its own Jeffries tube?
Reminder: free shipping!
You know I love cover versions of Trek themes.
Surf style.
Memories of your high school band.
Lounge.
And a little something for your inner light.
Until next time, LLAP.

I'm all for Trek being honored in real world political stuff, and I love Jerry Goldsmith's FIRST CONTACT theme, but it still strikes me as odd that they would use it at such an occasion. Go figure.
