Owen' Recommended Watching

Part 1

[I watch all of these shows regularly. I've seen most of them over a dozen times.]

Doctor Who 1963-Present

Doctor Who depicts the adventures of an extraterrestrial being called the Doctor, part of a humanoid species called Time Lords. The Doctor travels in the universe and in time using a time travelling spaceship called the TARDIS, which externally appears as a British police box. While travelling, the Doctor works to save lives and liberate oppressed peoples by combating foes. The Doctor often travels with companions.

Star Trek The Original Series 1966-1969

The show is set in the Milky Way, circa 2266-2269. The ship and crew are led by Captain James Kirk (William Shatner), first mate and Science Officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Chief Medical Officer Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy (DeForrest Kelly). In the opening credits of each episode, Shatner explains the purpose of this starship: Space: The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission is to explore strange new worlds, find new life and new civilizations, and boldly go to places that no one has gone before.

M*A*S*H* 1972-1983

The show is an ensemble piece revolving around key personnel in a United States Army Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) in the Korean War (1950–53). The "4077th MASH" was one of several surgical units in Korea.

The Golden Girls 1985 - 1992

The show, featuring an ensemble cast, revolves around four older single women (three widows and one divorcée) sharing a house in Miami. The owner of the house is a widow named Blanche Devereaux (McClanahan), who was joined by fellow widow Rose Nylund (White) and divorcée Dorothy Zbornak (Arthur) after they both responded to an ad on the bulletin board of a local grocery store a year before the start of the series. In the pilot episode, the three are joined by Dorothy's 80-year-old widowed mother, Sophia Petrillo (Getty), after the retirement home where she lived burned down.

Star Trek The Next Generation 1987 - 1994

Set in the latter third of the 24th century, when Earth is part of the United Federation of Planets, it follows the adventures of a Starfleet starship, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), in its exploration of the Alpha quadrant and Beta quadrant in the Milky Way galaxy.

Roseanne 1988 - 1997

The series centers on the Connor family, a working-class American family struggling to make ends meet on a limited family income. Dan, Roseanne, and their three young children, Becky, Darlene, and D.J., live at 714 Delaware Street in the monotonous fictional Mid-State suburb of Kane County, Illinois.

Family Matters 1989 - 1998

The show centers on the Winslow family, an African-American middle-class family living in Chicago, Illinois, and halfway through the first season, the Winslow family's nerdy Steve Ukkel (Jaryl White) is introduced, who originally appeared as a one-off character in the script. However, he soon became a breakthrough character in the show (and eventually the main character), joining the main cast.

Star Trek DS9 1993 - 1999

Set in the 24th century, when Earth is part of a United Federation of Planets, its narrative is centered on the eponymous space station Deep Space Nine, located adjacent to a wormhole connecting Federation territory to the Gamma Quadrant on the far side of the Milky Way galaxy.

7th Heaven 1996-2007

The series follows Reverend Eric Camden, a Protestant minister living in the fictional town of Glen Oak, California, and his wife Annie as they deal with the drama of raising 7 children (twins Sam and David come later in the series) ranging in age from babies to adults with families of their own.

George Lopez 2002 - 2007

The comedy revolves around a fictionalized portrayal of Lopez who works at the Powers Brothers aviation factory. George raises daughter Carmen and dyslexic son Max with his wife Angie, after surviving a miserable, dysfunctional childhood at the hands of his neglectful alcoholic mother Benny. The show stars the titular comedian George Lopez, who plays a fictionalized version of himself, featuring his life at work and his family life in Los Angeles, California.

Nichelle Nichols (Grace Dell Nichols; December 28, 1932 – July 30, 2022) was an actress, singer, and dancer best known for her portrayal of Nyota Uhura in Star Trek and its film sequels. Her portrayal of Uhura was groundbreaking for African American actresses on American television. She volunteered her time (1977-2015) to promote NASA’s programs and recruit diverse astronauts, including some of the first female and ethnic minority astronauts.

She volunteered her time to promote NASA’s programs and to recruit diverse astronauts, including women and ethnic minorities. She is one of four surviving members of the original cast of Star Trek.

Her break came in an appearance in Kicks and Co. In a thinly veiled satire of Playboy magazine, she played Hazel Sharpe, a voluptuous campus queen who was being tempted by the devil and Orgy Magazine to become “Orgy Maiden of the Month”. She attracted the attention of Hugh Hefner, the publisher of Playboy, who booked her for his Chicago Playboy Club.

She appeared in the role of Carmen for a Chicago stock company production of Carmen Jones and performed in a New York production of Porgy and Bess.

She was featured on the cover of Ebony magazine and had two feature articles in the publication in five years. She toured the US, Canada, and Europe as a singer with Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton bands. She appeared in The Roar of the Greasepaint and For My People and Blues for Mister Charlie. She was a guest actress in The Lieutenant.

Robert A. Heinlein dedicated his novel Friday to her. Asteroid 68410 Nichols is named in her honor.

She was awarded a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame, for her contribution to television. She was awarded a Goldene Kamera for Kultstar des Jahrhunderts. She received an honorary degree from Los Angeles Mission College. She received The Life Career Award, from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films. The award was presented as part of the 42nd Saturn Awards ceremony. She was awarded the Inkpot Award.

She was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphakappaalpha

Star Trek had a vision for a brighter tomorrow. That vision doesn't happen overnight. With everything happening in the news, it's important that we all look out for each other.

These are a few charities the wife & I try to support. We struggle ourselves & can't always turn up or donate but we do what we can when we have it. If you're ever looking for ways to help others:

In early 2020, @mystery-moose decided my cinematic education could no longer be allowed to persist with such egregious holes. He and I and @eponymous-rose and @silksieve and @fistfulofgammarays started a discord server to watch movies every Saturday night, and shortly after came @probablylostrightnow and @servantofclio and @jadesabre301 and @annalyia and @bettydice, and suddenly we had something like bottled lightning held in a jar in our hands.

It couldn't have come at a better time--the pandemic struck about a month later--and what started as a way to expand my our horizons has become a precious thing. We've watched movies together, celebrated birthdays together, and we've traveled together too, to Colorado and Chicago and the Grand Canyon and a half-dozen other little gatherings across the entire country.

It's not an easy thing for a bunch of 30-40+'s to get together every week. But we make the time, rain or shine, only missing one single week where all but one of us were traveling, and the joy it's brought me (along with the knowledge of the greatest movie of all time, Kung Fu Hustle) is comparable to nothing else. Today is our slightly delayed three-year anniversary celebration.

Happy movie night anniversary, ya pineapples!

Waffle House (A Star Trek: Picard fic)

Title:  Waffle House 

Summary: The crew of the U.S.S. Titan favour the moody atmosphere of Ten-Foward, meanwhile, their Captain prefers somewhere else. Rating: G Paring: Seven/Shaw

Author’s Note:  I posted this to AO3 last night, and I forgot to post it here, meep. Welcome to me being unhinged and needing to write something while I research another fic

While the young crew of the U.S.S. Titan favoured the moody atmosphere of Ten-Foward, a bar on Earth located near the Starfleet Academy, Captain Shaw's go-to was somewhere Seven hadn't been expecting, a diner of some description. She made her way inside to see her Captain reading reports while a fresh cup of coffee sat next to him on the table. Seven watched him for a moment, this place seemed to be his natural environment and she was immediately curious as to its origins.

"Commander, I can feel your eyes boring into me. Take a seat."

Seven shrugged and sat down across from him, taking in their surroundings. The place was full of random holograms who looked like they had stopped in on their way to work; they were talking, eating breakfast, and some even doing crosswords.

"Well, aren't you gorgeous?" A perky waitress in her 40s with long dark hair approached the table. "Liam, who's your friend?"

Shaw regarded the woman fondly. "Sadie, Commander Hansen."

"Seven, please." She didn't seem like a normal holographic representation, Seven figured she must have been based on a real-life person, an old flame perhaps? The idea made her shift uncomfortably.

"Seven, that's cute. Are you hungry? I could cook you up something."

Captain Shaw smirked. "What's your poison, Hansen? You strike me as a fruit and porridge woman." Just something about her general demeanour made him think that she liked the blandest food possible but if that was what she was looking for, she had come to the wrong place.

Seven glared at the captain, how dare he be able to get such an accurate read on her? She liked healthy food, that was all. She cleared her throat. "I'll have what he's having." Whatever it was, it was probably some earth delicacy, not space worms or something equally as horrible.

Sadie nodded. "Coffee and waffles got it." and went back to the kitchen to prepare it.

Seven looked to Shaw for an explanation, he took a sip of his coffee and lowered his voice. "Sadie, the real Sadie was a friend of my mother's. She used to own this all-night waffle house in Chicago, where I grew up. I've spent a lot of time here."

Seven noticed how Shaw’s face softened as he spoke of the place, it was one of the rare times he had seemed at peace. In the warmly lit room, he looked handsome, not that she would ever say that out loud; falling for one's C.O. was dangerous and half the time, she wasn't even sure the captain liked her.

"So did you have a reason for interrupting my breakfast or do you just enjoy my company?" Probably not the latter, Shaw thought he hadn't been as kind as he should have been to her; her connection to the Borg while minute still left him feeling uneasy around her, but Admiral Janeway insisted that they would be a good match and she wasn't a woman to be trifled with.

"We got a message from Starfleet; we're supposed to rendezvous with Admiral Baines at 1300." A diplomatic mission, hardly dangerous but important nonetheless, the way Shaw rolled his eyes told Seven that he would rather be doing absolutely anything else. She wondered why he accepted the rank of the captain if he seemed to deplore such things.

Sadie returned with a large stack of waffles and coffee, putting it down in front of her. "Here we go hon, waffles with syrup and coffee. Enjoy."

Seven stared at her plate of food, while it did look appetising, she could tell it was mostly made of sugar, how very unhealthy. She looked up to see Shaw watching her.

"It's not going to kill you, Hansen." He had been eating something similar every day of his childhood and he had turned out just fine, maybe overly sweet food messed with her internal systems? Surely not. Her unconvinced look made him take a different tactic. "Seven, please."

The use of her name was unexpected, she had been trying to get him to use it ever since she had come on board but to no avail and yet here he was pleading with her to eat with him. She smiled and shrugged, cutting into the waffle stack, and taking a bite. "Oh god." She moaned, the sweetness of the pastry combined with the syrup was overwhelming, she had never tasted anything like it.

At the moan, Shaw subconsciously sucked on his lips, that sound was entirely too enjoyable to hear just once, and over waffles no less. He wondered if he could get her to moan like that in other situations.

Seven saw some of the patrons staring and swallowed her mouthful of food. "Sorry, first time." It was true, while she had seen waffles before, she never had any desire to taste them but now? She felt like she could live off them.

Shaw laughed. "Well hell, if that's your reaction then we should make this a permanent breakfast date."

Seven blinked. "Date, sir?"

He silently cursed himself. "You know what I mean."

Seven nodded a hint of a smile on her face. "Yes sir."

‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Actors Say Season 5 Would Have “Crushed It,” Defend “Naff” Theme Song

In addition to all the new Star Trek Universe show panels from Mission Chicago we have covered, there was a fun panel for Star Trek: Enterprise, which celebrated its 20th-anniversary last year. On hand were show stars Connor Trinneer (Charles “Trip” Tucker), Dominic Keating (Malcolm Reed), and Anthony Montgomery (Travis Mayweather). The trio shared stories of their time on the NX-01 Enterprise, including some frank discussion about the series which ended in cancellation after four seasons. TrekMovie was there to report on the highlights.

7 years and movie?… that ship has sailed

When the moderator asked the group what it was like walking in for the first episode, the actors talked about how they were given high hopes for their future:

Connor Trinneer: We weren’t walking into a pilot, we were walking into a series. We had that luxury. So that was a little intimidating. We knew we were in it together. And we knew we were going to be together for well… Anthony Montgomery: It was supposed to be seven years. We signed for seven years. They told us we were doing movies, because they didn’t do movies with DS9. They didn’t do movies with Voyager. So they told me that the fans love Star Trek and you guys are going be here for at least seven years, and you’re going to be doing movies and everything. And you guys know how that all turns out.

Regarding if they thought the show were more anticipating the show being big or worried it would fail, again they talked about the initial excitement, which soon turned to concern:

Anthony Montgomery: Really big, initially. Connor Trinneer: But then, we wondered for a long time if we were going to be coming back to work. Anthony Montgomery: That started in season one.

As for what was planned for the show beyond a fourth season, speaking for the group, Montgomery made it clear they were on a roll once they got to season four and it would only have got better:

Anthony Montgomery: They’d never told me where we were going, but I can tell you it would have been fucking great. What? Come on! Did y’all see season four? We have really stepped into our own by season four. So if we’d gone five, six and seven, man, I don’t know what it would have been, but we would have crushed it!  I love that guy [points to fan] saying “you guys could still do it.” No, no, that that spaceship has sailed.

About that theme song…

One of the more controversial elements of Enterprise was the theme song: Russell Watson’s “Where My Heart Will Take Me.” As a group they defended the theme and talked about how producers were very optimistic about it, although Keating noted he wasn’t a fan of the new version of the song used for the final two seasons:

Connor Trinneer: They were very psyched about it. They were really excited about it. Dominic Keating: I got to say when they suddenly introduced a tambourine and the upbeat version of that song for season three, I got to say, that is some goofy shit. I am watching the show now and I am on season three and I can’t even listen to it. It is naff, really naff. The original song? I didn’t mind at all. I thought it was rather beautiful. Anthony Montgomery: I thought it was fantastic. And it fits our series. It does. For what our show is and what it represents in the franchise, I thought it was a perfect song. Connor Trinneer: I think I heard it for the first time and went, “That’s a song, that right there is a song.” Dominic Keating: I thought it was rather fitting with the graphics and absolutely the human endeavor and flight and I thought it was pretty cool.

Representing Florida and Britain

The actors also talked a bit about how they developed the cultural identities of their characters. Connor Trinner described how he was taken by surprise when the writers identified Trip coming from Florida about halfway through the series:

Connor Trinneer: I’ve had done a play in New York for about a year playing this guy from Oklahoma and all this said was [Trip is] a good old southern boy. I know Oklahoma is a tip of the South or south Midwest. Anyway, I went in with that accent and worked on that and knew it really well … and then they wrote that I was from Florida and I went to the producers and said I’m not doing Florida and they’re like, “They’ll never know.” And I was like, “People in Florida will know!” And sure enough there was a family that came on the Make A Wish Foundation to our set and they were from the town Trip is supposed to be from and they were just like, “I just want to thank you so much for nailing our accent.”

And Leicester-born Keating talked about how he was proud to represent Britain, and he was given some leeway in portraying a British character:

Dominic Keating: It was it was an honor. And if anything, I got slightly a wider berth how they were particular about what they’ve written. Connor, if you wanted to change anything, you have to bring up the writers’ room, didn’t you? It had to go through a whole order of command to change an “and” to an “or” or a “but.” I could just go, “A British guy wouldn’t say that.”

Nichelle Nichols

Nichelle Nichols è l’attrice passata alla storia per aver interpretato la tenente Uhura in Star Trek.

Una delle prime donne nere a ottenere un ruolo da protagonista in una serie famosa è stata anche la prima attrice a girare una scena di un bacio interrazziale, nel 1968, con William Shatner che interpretava il capitano Kirk.

Il personaggio interpretato, in un ruolo di primo piano e di comando, accanto a maschi bianchi, è stato di incoraggiamento e ispirazione per tante donne che non si erano mai viste rappresentate in questo modo.

Tra i suoi ammiratori c’era stato Martin Luther King che era intervenuto personalmente per convincerla a non abbandonare la parte dopo la prima stagione, ritenendola fondamentale per la rappresentazione delle persone afroamericane sullo schermo. 

Nacque col nome di Grace Dell Nichols a Robbins, un sobborgo di Chicago, il 28 dicembre 1932, da Lishia Parks e Samuel Earl Nichols, operaio e futuro sindaco della città dell’Illinois.

Aveva esordito, negli anni Cinquanta come attrice e ballerina. Dopo diversi ruoli a teatro, al cinema e come cantante nelle orchestre di Duke Ellington e Lionel Hampton, aveva recitato in un episodio della serie televisiva The Lieutenant, incentrato sulla discriminazione razziale e mai trasmesso in televisione perché considerato controverso.

È stata protagonista di diversi musical e occasionalmente anche modella.

Dopo l’enorme successo di Star Trek, andato in onda dal 1966 al 1969, denunciando la mancanza di donne e persone di colore in campo aerospaziale, aveva deciso di collaborare in maniera volontaria in un progetto speciale con la NASA per reclutare personale. Un impegno durato dal 1977 al 2015, gestito insieme alla società Women in Motion che ha portato all’arruolamento di centinaia di persone e contribuito a formare celebri carriere come quelle di Sally Ride e Mae Jemison, prima afroamericana a viaggiare nello spazio.

Entusiasta sostenitrice dell’esplorazione spaziale, è stata nel consiglio di amministrazione del National Space Institute (oggi National Space Society), organizzazione educativa per la difesa dello spazio.

Nel 1992 le è stata assegnata una stella sulla Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Nel 1994 ha pubblicato la sua autobiografia, Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories.

Ha partecipato a numerosi film e serie tv come attrice, doppiatrice, produttrice e coreografa, oltre agli spin off cinematografici della serie che le aveva portato fama mondiale.

Ha pubblicato anche due dischi Down to Earth, nel 1967 e Out of This World, nel 1991.

Nel 2007, in Heroes ha interpretato Nana Dawson, la matriarca di una famiglia di New Orleans devastata dall’uragano Katrina. L’anno successivo ha recitato nel film The Torturer, seguito da The Cabonauts, una commedia musicale di fantascienza.

Nel 2015, ha volato a bordo dello Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, un Boeing 747 modificato per osservazioni astronomiche condotte, che analizzava le atmosfere di Marte e Saturno in una missione ad alta quota.

Ha ricevuto la sua prima nomination agli Emmy per il suo ruolo in The Young and the Restless nel 2017.

Dopo un ictus che ne aveva rallentato gli impegni, nel 2018 le è stata diagnosticata la sindrome di demenza senile.

Si è spenta a Silver City, il 30 luglio 2022, aveva 89 anni.

Vincitrice di numerosi premi internazionali, ha ricevuto anche una laurea ad honorem dal Los Angeles Mission College ed è stata la prima donna a ricevere il Life Career Award, dall’Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, nel 2016. 

A lei è stato anche dedicato l’asteroide 68410 Nichols.

La sua vita e l’impegno per lo spazio sono stati protagonisti del documentario Woman in Motion.

La sua autorità sullo schermo in un mondo alternativo e futuro, ha esercitato un’enorme influenza in un momento storico in cui la popolazione afroamericana stava combattendo per i diritti civili.

Grazie al suo attivismo ha aiutato la NASA ad abbracciare la diversità, contribuendo a cambiare le esplorazioni spaziali.

The announcer sounds strange he is strange it is Tonmmy f. There are a few people who die in the motion picture well on screen. And we think that they might actually die it's the person on the cover here and it is his wife. A lot of people don't recognize them that's some things that the lady is the one from Chicago PD and that is who she is and they calling her Leah like the song but she's famous okay she's a big figurehead in her realm and in the entire realm actually she's a famous person for and her name is Madame Curie. And he is her husband's from the show. And it's her brother and she doesn't stay with him as much as other sisters and she found having smarter kids was better and that's why and she can be very pretty and look like someone we know and that's another thing Tommy f is trying to say and she also got big ones in the desert and even Preston sort of fell for her look and she had kind of a falling from Grace and she didn't really come on to our son and she's saying some weird stuff. He didn't know what to say God knows about it okay. She's saying that she knew and she's a Goddess but he was saying you're saying God knows. And it's funny to her now but back then she got angry a lot and he said if it's like that don't say God knows and everything cuz that's like what he's up to. So now she's saying I meant me since our senses are too many physical problems just laughing and she says and you're going to be huge said yeah that's a lot of issue I don't know Goodwill sizes only go up so big and he knows cuz she's bawling with laughter but he knows that she is afraid and he says that you're not strong enough you're banking and his is not strong enough and they can't keep you around against Tommy f and Kirk has probably a lot of threats on his and him and she sees it and says can't they share and that's a question too ask them. It does look odd as in he just standing there and they beam you out ok mb it's an illusion and they feel a little better of it it does look good but wouldn't they have reason to grab you if they grab you and hell anyways, and they say there's a reason is at the time we think and then the clan will try and get you out and it's only two ships and they see it.

The reason why he knew she was in distress is because his jokes are not that good.

And Hera is laughing I didn't say anything yeah that crappy

This motion picture is going to start up and it is after destiny 2 but people are seeing these things are going on shortly and he mentioned it for a different reason and Michelle was still a decent terms. The reason is it's a professional outfit clean living there's a strong sense of duty and purpose and togetherness for defense that might actually be working because leaving you out it's like a weird thing and getting zapped that close to them probably wouldn't happen without them getting Zapped though Tommy F wants you to believe it if they hit it was an emitter right there that powerful would damage the floor and it doesn't look it that's what people say to. We think they're kidnapped.

Thor Freya

Thank you very much Chris you're a good friend

Michelle Caldwell

And thank you I appreciate it and I hope you come back safe and sound so dangerous mission and your bo

Zues Hera me too

Sounds good to me but we're out of here if it doesn't this place is hell I probably put through hell on purpose and now I see it you are too and the people here and it's the weakness to have them try and clear the surface of Earth and that's what he's up to so we're going to go after and thank you for your consideration and kindness

Costar husband of Leah

[convenient-plot-device]

My sister is! She's nine and I have been using TAS & Prodigy to get her into Star Trek for years. She loves Prodigy and always wants to rewatch episodes after we finish them :) she even went with me to Star Trek Mission: Chicago and took a picture with a Murf cosplayer! The kids are alright <3

So I'm loving all the engagement that Prodigy is getting on social media but being that it's a kids show, does anyone know of any kids that are watching it and getting really into it?

[mouthmoodz]

The best day of Kira's life.
