The Impossible Voyage (1904 Film by Georges Méliès)

Using every known means of transportation, several savants from the Geographic Society undertake a journey through the Alps to the Sun which finishes under the sea.

I liked the part with the giant octopus.

A fun little movie, full of fantastic visuals and creative concepts. I loved all the machinery that looked like moving cardboard props. That bit where the train derailed was wild as hell. 

You simply don't get movies where people walk around on the surface of the sun but still end up frozen solid moments later these days. Even if you did, it would probably suck compared to this.

Good stuff. Well worth checking out if you have twenty minutes to kill.

I think B'Elanna and Tuvok probably work together a lot in a distant, professional capacity and it's mostly through notes about what will and will not blow the ship up. Constant updates about how not to blow the ship up or otherwise kill everyone aboard which are increasingly and endlessly complicated and if Tuvok weren't Vulcan and B'Elanna weren't built with a mind like a diamond they would both just collapse under the weight of it all and give up but instead they're lowkey kind of enjoying the challenge sometimes. When they aren't collapsing under the weight of it all. They started their messages with B'Elanna being so careful about sounding professional but by year 4 they're not even using honorifics or greetings. They might be employing shorthand. When they get back to the alpha quadrant the admirals are pouring over their notes, maneuvers, quick fixes, and long-term solutions in both horror and fascination. In year two they had to trap an alien slime in the turbolift which is nonsentient and unkillable and it helps the turbolift (which was previously broken beyond repair) run but WILL eat anyone inside that lift if the power coursing through its body reaches a certain level so that particular turbolift has to stay lower-powered and slow. No power can be diverted through that turbolift or anyone who uses it will be eaten. Engineering Win: If we incorporate this alien technology which uses star power instead of solar power which B'Elanna found detailed in an old book during a shore leave thrift sale we can increase the ship's systems' efficiency by over 50%! Security Fail: The star power technology makes people inexplicably think they are a star, their longing for the twinkling void causing them to throw themselves out into space. That's the sort of thing that B'Elanna and Tuvok are dealing with. There's so much that Tuvok brings to B'Elanna like 'this is horrifically dangerous' and B'Elanna replies like 'this is the only way the ship can keep functioning.'

Remembering Leonard Nimoy 26/3/31 - 27/2/15

Yes, it's true (I have witnesses) that I had to lie down after meeting him!

Arguably the best thing he ever did. The play "Vincent" about Vincent van Gogh with Vincent's brother Theo (Leonard) reading letters from his brother.

The 1972 British film "Baffled" a pilot for a (very PG) series - unmade - about the occult. He's unbelievably handsome in this and was obviously poured into his jeans!

AND a fan favourite. Leonard as the magician Zastro in the Mission Impossible 3-parter "The Falcon". Just love the swirl of the cloak!

There's been a bunch of these going around but none with the options I'd pick so...

Please settle this debate, my partner and i are fighting about this hard. I will refrain from saying some of his comments about Star Trek, but he's CONVINCED that Vader would win, on his own, against the entire Borg Collective.
