Bob Dorough died yesterday.

Schoolhouse Rock was and is part of who I am. Even before I was a Trekkie, I was a SHR fan.

I won't link all of the SHR songs that he sang, just some of my favorites:

My Hero Zero
Three is a Magic Number
Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here
The Body Machine
This for That

How Robert Picardo tricked his way into his cameo in First Contact.

Because as we all know, he's a doctor, not a doorstop.

A fun fan video where the TNG crew watches Star Wars.

See if you can pick out which episode each clip came from!

A fan has modified a TOS Tricorder prop to be able to play any TOS episode.

Some British schools are removing analog clocks because some students can't read them.

So...much...snark...

Star Trek Deviantart Day 10!


Stylized Female TOS Officer. I'm reminded of Erin Esurance for some reason...


Klingon Santa Claus


This Voldemort variant doesn't have much to do with Star Trek, but I have to comment that he reminds me of a Chodak from the game A Final Unity.


A young Sarek


This is supposed to be Gul Dukat, but his face is too round...


Chibi Kirk and Rand. Have I mentioned how much I hate the green wraparound tunic enough yet?

The cast of Discovery sings Rent. Let's hear it for the... nerds!

I wasn't late posting this, nor I was I early. I posted it precisely when I meant to.

Some other covers:

There are people who use Animal Crossing characters as inspiration to cover such songs as "Take On Me" or "Fireflies"

A sort of, I dunno, smooth lounge jazz version of "Come Together" https://youtu.be/xcUEc4xKG4c

A bluegrass version of "Linger" https://youtu.be/6D_sGGJndow

Nostalgia Critic Review of the new Doctor Doolittle movie.


Ugh, I'm glad I didn't watch this one. I take my Doctor Doolittle very seriously, I've spent decades building my collection, even if I'm still a few books short I'll bet you I'm the only one in a hundred miles to own anything but The Story of Doctor Doolittle and The Voyages of Doctor Doolittle, the only ones that are always in print.


Yes, the Rex Harrison movie is deeply flawed, but I still enjoy it. Never bothered with the Eddie Murphy series.
