Rejected video for First Contact Day post
Apr. 5th, 2025 03:42 pmI decided this was too gross for 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' for First Contact Day, a holiday special and I found a video I liked better, so I'm inflicting it on you.
Image I could have used...
Sep. 8th, 2024 12:50 pm...in Star Trek vs. Star Wars at the 2024 Emmy Awards for Star Trek Day but found one more visually striking and informative.

Rejected image for Hugo Awards post
Aug. 4th, 2024 02:39 pmI decided to use an image I created myself for 'Barbie,' 'Poor Things,' 'Doctor Who,' and 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' among Hugo nominees for dramatic presentations.

Rejected video for scifi anxieties post
Apr. 11th, 2024 09:59 pmI decided this wasn't the best video for today's post, so I used PBS Voices explores 'The Evolution of Science Fiction' for Throwback Thursday instead.
I assembled this image for 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3' leads Best Superhero Film nominees at the Saturn Awards.


Two of my fandoms collide, again
Nov. 12th, 2023 01:22 pmI wrote "I've been waiting all century to hear the music from Princess Mononoke on a football field" in Studio Ghibli film music show. My first opportunity was in 2004, but only saw it yesterday. It's probably because it was uploaded in 2016, after I had stopped looking for the show on YouTube. Watching the show in November 8th's post made me search for it again.
A excerpt from The 'Mother of Father's Day' plus 2022 was a great year for 'Star Wars' names.
The three names from the Star Wars franchise I featured two years ago all had their best years ever in 2022, beginning with Kylo.

Kylo had an even better 2022 than 2020, reaching a new peak in popularity. As the graphic from the Social Security Administration above states: "For 2022, the number of births with name Kylo is 707, which represents 0.038 percent of total male births in 2022. The year when the name Kylo was most popular is also 2022.
