Adam Savage looks at the newest TOS tricorder collectable.


My biggest problem is that the Cochrane Delta on the case doesn't have the Science Division symbol in it. That one seems like a "duh" addition to me.



But yeah, the prop looks great. And including all of the official logs and the Edith Keeler archival footage was a stroke of genius.



If Majel Barrett was still alive it would've been great to have her read off TOS-related entries from the Star Trek Encyclopedia in an in-universe style. A brief summary of the major races, historical events like the Eugenics Wars and the Tarsus IV disaster, etc.

Out of the Trees by Graham Chapman and Douglas Adams


A failed TV pilot that predates both Hitchhiker's Guide and Monty Python, but features actors from both.



Frankly while there are good bits the whole thing seems rather disjointed. I get that these sketches aren't supposed to be components of a comprehensive storyline, but there has to be SOME sense of structure. If not a narrative then by theme, emotion, or contrast of style.

Some modelers took Galileo model kits and transformed them into pop culture mashups.


Combine the Galileo with an Imperial shuttle! Or the ECTO-1! Or Battlestar Galactica! Or the A Team van! Or the Winnebago from Spaceballs! Or a Tie Fighter!

We Travel By Night presents a walkthrough of the TOS sets.


Of course I already knew about this layout from the reference materials published over the years, but it was still nice to see a 3D model.

A group of students are working to recreate the University of Minnesota campus in Minecraft.


It's always nice to see my old alma mater, even in a form like this.



I never got into Minecraft, it seemed like something that I would have to devote a lot of time to research and practice to get any enjoyment out of. I've seen some impressive creations, but it's not my thing.
