So apparently January 18th is National Winnie the Pooh Day (it's also A.A. Milne's birthday as a complete coincidence). I'm sure you wouldn't think that there'd be Pooh/Trek crossovers, but there are!


Pooh and Piglet at Tenagra T-Shirt



Pooh about to beam down, realizing that he's wearing a red shirt


The Pooh crew as the TOS crew


A Pooh/Trek poem


To boldly go where no bear has gone before


The Pooh crew as the TNG crew


And of course John Fielder, voice of Piglet and actor for Heingist in "The Wolf in the Fold" (or as SF Debris called him, "Piglet the Ripper")

So they turned Dusty Abell's TOS fanart into an Hawaiian shirt. I hope he's getting paid for it.


He made a Trek/Dr. Who crossover print.

An impressive collage of TNG characters.


(And yet that messed up Cochrane Delta bugs me...)

What is the most Mario combination of colors?

Given that we have some Canadians in the audience, I assume that a few of you know who Red Green is, so here's a Trek/Green meme that I found today.

I can't believe that it was 2016 the last time I mentioned Studio Ghibli. Well, today we get to return that fandom. Rachel Maksy makes cosplay costumes of various things, and today she made one for Kiki of Kiki's Delivery Service complete with puppet Jiji.


And because I'm still burning at the fact that the Sydney Forrest songs from the dub were removed from the DVDs to be more authentic to the original, here are some YouTube links!

A groanworthy Trek/math meme from Facebook.

What if Sisko was the captain of Voyager?


An interesting what if scenario, and this guy has clearly thought about how Sisko would do things differently than Janeway.

A different take on the TOS theme


What if the theme was coming from the ship, so you could only hear the theme if the ship was on screen, and the music faded in and out as the ship moves toward or away from the camera?


It's funny.

An Archie/TOS crossover.


Jughead as Spock makes me scratch my head. Wouldn't he be a better fit for Scotty or Chekov?

The opening theme of the South Korean dub of Cardcaptor Sakura.


I had to laugh at this one, the music just does not fit.

Trailer for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon reboot.


Yikes does this one feel unnecessary. Furthermore it's embarrassing how little Toothless's model has changed from the original. That thing does not in any way look like it exists in the same world as human actors. And when the effects in Eragon look better, there's a big problem!

Postmodern Jukebox presents a "Doris Day"-esque rendition of "This Kiss"


This thing must be heard to be disbelieved. I love PMJ, but this one is a real clunker. Now I need to cleanse my ears with the real version...


And I have no idea how that's supposed to resemble Doris Day's style. This is Doris Day.

Trek-inspired version of Mount Rushmore with the first four series leads


Or at least it's supposed to be, but that doesn't really look like Sisko to me at all.

"If You Can Identify Five of the People in this Photo, You're Old"


I guess I'm old. These people were famous in the '60s and '70s, before my time. But I had older parents and thus watched older shows and movies.



PNQ: Is Ray Walston the only Trek alumni in there? Of course Lucille Ball was a Trek VIP, but she wasn't an alumni.

The cut orbital skydiving opening of Generations


I understand why it was cut. I didn't know that the scene was intercut with the champagne bottle flying through space.



I do wonder why orbital skydiving is supposed to be fun. You'd need way more life support and inertial dampener equipment on you than Kirk (or B'Elanna later on when she recycled the costume) was wearing. Essentially you'd just be a person in a person-sized shuttle. Furthermore I fail to see what you get out of the experience in the space portion that you wouldn't get in a shuttle, and then the atmosphere experience would just be normal skydiving, just for a longer period and with more equipment.

Nostalgia Nerd talks about the Trojan Room Coffee Pot


This was a real nostalgic boot to the head. Thirty years ago I read about this in the book Dave Barry in Cyberspace. Dave had a chapter devoted to interesting sites in the early days of the World Wide Web, and Trojan Room Coffee Pot was one of them.



It really is interesting, thinking back to the early days when streaming video seemed like a miracle. The days before YouTube when you were limited to three minute Flash videos and you still had to wait for them to load.

The feud between Franz Joseph and Gene Roddenberry


Watch it if only for the 3D visualizations of the kitbash models from the Star Fleet Technical Manual.

I'm sure you've all see the Carol Burnett sketch where all the men on the Enterprise were turned into women, but did you know there was a second Trek sketch on that show?

I wasn't expecting to see a Star Trek joke in a Not Always Right entry today...
