Andersson begins with posthumous myth, as found in the anonymous 1637 jest book A Pleasant History of the Life and Death of Will Summers, for example. (The revised name was probably the work of Thomas Nashe for his 1592 play Summer’s Last Will and Testament, in which the ghost of ‘Will Summers’ comments on the action.) From there Andersson works backwards, circling the evidence until he arrives back at the man himself.

The approach has much to recommend it, not least because our idea of the fool is indelibly shaped by those in Shakespeare, and in particular the fool in King Lear. Shakespeare wrote that part for Robert Armin, who also originated the roles of Feste and Touchstone. Armin wasn’t merely an actor, however; his book Foole Upon Foole (1600) studied the lives and natures of six fools, Somer among them.

I've been listening to the 'Delta Flyers: Journey Through the Wormhole" DS9 podcast. I love it. Though, I have to admit that Terry Farrell is terrible about interrupting people with complete non sequitur comments. But listening to Armin Shimerman is a joy!!! I may have to do a DS9 rewatch!

The Delta Flyers reviews one of the best DS9 episodes, "Duet," with Nana Visitor and Armin Shimerman.

I think it was a very good decision to have Armin and Nana in this episode.

Here's an interesting companion piece if "Duet" is of interest to you. ‘Duet’ is clearly inspired by the plot of Robert Shaw’s 1967 novel/ stage play/1975 film ‘The Man in the Glass Booth‘: Shaw’s story tells of a man accused of being a Nazi war criminal. The play is inspired by the factual events surrounding the kidnap and the trial of the German Nazi SS Oversturmbannführer, Adolf Eichmann, a major organiser of the Holocaust, and the question of whether he is Arthur Goldman, a Jewish Nazi death camp survivor.

So if this sounds of interest, click below for a write up on that.

IDAHO amends its anti-cannibalism bill – cannibalism news, March 2024

Idaho lawmakers have voted to expand a law that bans cannibalism because of fears about the popularity of human composting. Rep. Heather Scott introduced a bill in February 2024 to expand the state’s cannibalism ban and told a legislative committee that she’s worried about the possibility that people are eating other people. Scott said: “This is going to be normalized at some point, the way our…

Dear Robert Hewitt Wolfe,

You probably have been asked that already multiple times, but had Odo's development been planned from the start and also that his origin would be revealed?

Also, who came up with the Ferengi language spoken in "Little Green Men" and is it based on any (Earth or alien) language?

A1) No, Odo's backstory and development were things we came up with as we went along, mostly late in Season Two and during the break leading into Season Three. Our original intent was to hold the revelation that he was a Founder for a season or two and use it as a season ending cliffhanger, but Michael liked the idea so much he decided we should reveal it right away, so we could mine it for drama for the rest of the series.

A2) Ummm... I think that was mostly me? Or maybe it was Armin, Aron, and Max? I honestly don't remember 100% at this point. If it was me, it wouldn't have been based on anything in particular. When I do languages for aliens (or the goblins in my novels), I usually just spew out a bunch of stuff that sounds right to me. I don't spend a ton of time on it beyond trying to make it vaguely consistant. I'm no Tolkien. And because I do it fast, I can't really detail my thought process, or even be completely sure the Ferengi words were mine.

At various points of my life, I've learned Latin, German, Swedish, and Italian, and also bits of Cantonese, Japanese, and Spanish. Looking at Memory Alpha's "Ferengi Language" section, it reminds me most of Swedish and Cantonese, so if it was me, those are probably the languages I drew most from.

I have a vague memory of wanting the language to pattery and a little wet, like heavy raindrops. So it would match the aural landscape of Ferenginar, if that makes sense. Hence all the "op" sounds.

sooo I just watched the Suki Waterhouse’s interview and while he was on the phone with Robert it immediately reminded me of aruani hpw sweet they talk to each other and I remembered they have a baby girl now 🥹🥹🥹

Ooooooohhhhh Anon this is soooooo cute T^T

Asfafhaf Aruani speaking on the phone is a whole romantic leveling up, honestly. When you can't see the other person and all you have to go by are their voice and little sounds coming from the other side it's so wegoiggsdoigwoeihw!!!! And I kid you not, Armin is 200% giving Annie diabetes with his voice and sweet-talking.

She'll pick up the phone, say Hello? and he's going to follow it up with something stupid and silly and completely adorable like "How's my sweetest donut doing?" and she'll think fucking hell how STUPID, but before she can help it she's smiling and blushing, and then he says: "Is she out in the sun chasing butterflies?"

Oh. Oh he means their cat. Donut.

Welp. He's an asshole, even at a distance. She huffs and pouts and considers hanging the phone up, but then she can HEAR the smile in his voice when he says "Oh, did you think I meant you?"

"No."

(Soft laughter) "No, of course not. Why, when you're my sweetest prettiest choco-pie?"

A girl shouldn't be having heart-failure talking on the phone but here we are. Annie's redder than the tomatoes in the garden.

"Oh god, shut up." She mumbles.

"Yeah?" (more laughter) "How are you? I really miss you. It's been raining here."

She chews on her lips, trying to pick up every little intonation in his voice. "I'm alright. It's sunny here and I've got errands to run..." Twirling the cord around, she adds, very quietly, "And.... I um... I miss you too."

"What was that? I didn't hear anything after errands."

"... I miss you."

"Louder? Really bad connection here."

"I miss you."

"If you could say the first and second and third words again..."

She's enraged and embarrassed. "You heard me!"

So much laughter on the other side, he's having the time of his life and it pisses her off! How dare he sound so cheerful at her expense when there's still four weeks to go before he comes home?!

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry," Comes his voice, still quite breathless and so, so beautiful when it drops so low it makes butterflies in her stomach. "I miss you more though. I can't wait to come home and kiss you and kiss you and kiss you and ki-"

She yelps. "Stop stop stop, we're on a public line!"

And again, more laughter. "You're so adorable, Annie!"

From "Broken Bow" to "Calypso"

Since 2010, I rewatch all of Star Trek every five years during that calendar year.

Obviously since 2017 this has become an increasingly daunting task.

Usually I'd start with TNG + those movies then do DS9 --> Voyager --> Enterprise and end with ToS and the movies. Since 2015 I did the TNG/DS9/Voyager by stardate instead of full series. (Which means mixing episodes the last 2 seasons of TNG and first 2 of DS9 together, and the same for the last 5 DS9 + first 5 Voyager)

This time, I decided to do the entire universe by stardate.

Which means yesterday I started with Enterprise, Broken Bow.

Honestly I think starting with Enterprise is going to mean the first four dozen episodes are going to make it a bit rough of a beginning. But, I've been wanting to do the complete Stardate rewatch for a long time.

And also I forgot Broken Bow is double-sized premiere, like most of the series start out with a double sized episode, so I only made it through half last night and half today.

According to this list, which includes the movies and Short Treks, there are 897 episodes of Star Trek. But was last updated a year or so ago so it doesn't include the latest/final seasons of Prodigy (20 episodes), Discovery (10 episodes) or Lower Decks (10 episodes), nor the upcoming Section 31 movie or Strange New Worlds (10 episodes), so that's more like 948 episodes to get through.

*edit* Oh, it also put all 3 Kelvin movies on one line. So we're looking at an actual 950 "episodes".

(Not going to think about Starfleet Academy or Tawny's resort planet project, though those could happen before I make it there, too, since both will happen relatively late in the stardate order, but would be added in.)

Which means I'd have to watch an average of about 3 a day to get through all in a year.

For TAS, Short Treks, Prodigy and Lower Decks, that's easy.

But there's... what like 15 movies (including the Kelvin movies!) to get through in there, too, and this list counts double episodes like Encounter at Farpoint and Broken Bow as one episode.

Also, I paused keeping up with Robert Duncan McNeil & Garett Wang's Delta Flyers podcast when they started doing DS9 with Terry and Armin because I realized since it'd been 4 years or so since I'd watched any DS9 episodes that I wanted to rewatch as I listened/watched the podcast. When I get to the DS9 part of the rewatch it's going to be watching an episode or two then catching up on the podcast along with it, and Delta Flyers episodes (unlocked on the patreon) are often close to two hours long.

So yeah, I may turn this into a 2 year project now instead of 1. I may also want to re-listen to some of the Delta Flyers episodes when I watch Voyager, which, the first 5 seasons will also be mixed in with DS9 anyway.

There's other shows I want to watch besides about 950 episodes of Star Trek, too. So I'm going to commit to one episode a day of hour-long Trek and two of animated Trek and who knows how long the DS9/Voyager bit might take. I'll more than likely be ahead of that timeline most of the time, but then the Great DS9 Slowdown will happen so... I might even it out by then.

I'll give myself 2 years to get it done, that's more than doable.

Some of the watching will probably be more background noise while I'm working or doing other things. I've seen every episode of 1960's - 2000's (Enterprise) era trek at least 4 times each, many of them many more times, some TNG episodes I've probably watched closer to 20 times, (as a teen, any Wesley Crusher episodes got heavy VCR rotation time, OK?) so unless it's one I'm really looking forward to, they probably won't always get my full attention.

---

Also I have a ton of Star Trek novels which I've never read. I also own original copies of the first 30 or 40 TNG novels from the 80/90's when I would buy them with my allowance, so I may re-read some of those for the first time in 35ish years, and I think it'll be time for readthrough #3 of Kristen Beyer's Voyager novels pretty soon, too to get my J/C fix in.

First up, I want to read all of the post-Enterprise "Trip lives!" novels in the next year or two. I've read The Good That Men Do, which brings Trip back, and loved it, so I'm planning on making some reading time in the next few months as well.

---

So hey, I'll probably make some commentary about it all here on tumblr along the way.

Add "annakie's star trek stuff" to the blacklist if you don't want to ever see anything about this ever again.
