I was in the mood for some Trek filk songs that I'd never heard before...
Space Shanty. TNG songs are a bit rarer than TOS ones. Enterprise. I thought I'd already heard all of the Julia Ecklar ones, but I guess not... Call the Navigator. I hold fan creators to higher standards when it comes to canon, and it's inexcusable to call flame gems Aldebaran and not Spican. (In Enterprise flame gems (two words) come from Rigel). (As it turns out Spica is a real star in the constellation of Virgo. And that's the Amazing Thing That I Learned Today). For The Need of the One. Another Ecklar contribution, and another example of fans caring about deep lore. She uses the word "T'hy'a", which in Vulcan means friend/brother/lover and comes from the STTMP novelization. Mineral Rights. I never expected a musical retelling of "Devil in the Dark." All About That Borg. My favorite "All About That Bass" parody is still the Pokemon-themed "Spinning Round That Bass", but this one is okay too. Eternal Loser. A ballad by Kirk dedicated to his women. Eternal Loser. You don't encounter the same filk song being covered by more than one singer very often, but this one was. Which one do you like more?

A Not Always Right story about someone who doesn't know what a gazebo is
Of course the commenters were quick to make oblique references to the tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo. I don't even play RPGs (besides Pokemon), but that one was a classic of early Net culture.

When it comes to fan-made LEGO models of Star Trek ships, I'm very hit or miss as to whether I'll like it. Then I found this one on Reddit that couldn't help but make me smile. So yeah, let's do a roundup!
USS Reliant A variety of ships. At this scale they seem more like chunky kids toys than faithful recreations Type 8 and Type 9 shuttles NCC-1701. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be the original or the Discoprise. A variety of ships. Some I like, some I don't. I leave the determination as an exercise for the reader. A large Runabout. On the whole I like larger sets for more accurate details. All of the Enterprises in approximate scale with each other.

An article about how the American situational comedy was developed in early comic strips. Incidentally, some of those early comic strips were awfully wordy.

Angela Lansbury died today. Time for a roundup!
Her first scene. Her Cockney accent is worse than Audrey Hepburn's, and that's saying something. Beauty and the Beast. You knew this one was coming. As Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest. Performing "Bosom Buddies" with Bea Arthur When it comes to young Angela I'm most familiar with her part in 'Til The Clounds Roll By. I'll bet you never thought you'd see Angela and Julie Andrews dressed up like Carmen Miranda... Angela reads the Nativity Story accompanied by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir I had forgotten that she starred with Judy Garland in the Harvey Girls I can't remember if I've ever actually seen Court Jester. She did a good job in Anastasia
