Star Trek has TWO secret TV Shows: Here’s what we think they are.

Please, please, please, please

Enterprise with Pike, Spock and Number One is top of my wishlist. I have not been quiet about that!

(I google all the time for news)

But this Seven of Nine possibility intrigues me because Jeri Ryan was incredible in Leverage. I can’t wait to see what she’s like in Picard.

(My one complaint about Picard btw is that I have to wait until next week to find out what happens next.)

#gimme that spinoff I want it so bad#star trek: the lost years#I live in hope#it’s a good time to love Trek

Everytime I see a new Marvel trailer it makes me miss the game Marvel Heroes all over again 🙁

Seriously playing as Taskmaster was a blast.

Actually playing as a lot of the characters was fun. It was a good game.

I finally built the Lego Kessel Run Millenium Falcon I picked up on sale last summer. I’ll enjoy looking at it for a couple of days and then I’ll get to work.

Step 1 – modify it to be (hopefully) better aka more true to the real one.

Step 2 – turn the basic circular structure into the beginnings of a real MOC of the Starship known as Enterprise.

Step 3 – pout probably that I don’t have any good minifigs for the Enterprise crew.

It’ll be good (I hope).

I just got to the flashback of Order 66 in Jedi Fallen Order.

I cried.

#too many feels#it was sad ok young Cal looks so young

I don’t really feel like I can scream about Picard intelligently because I haven’t seen Star Trek: Nemesis – or indeed the majority of TNG – so I feel like I only have a shaky grasp of the politics of the time period.

For instance I had to check 3 things when the episode ended because I was confused.

Trust me I really want to scream about Picard because it has captivated me and I have questions! The problem is I think part of me is wondering whether I have so many questions because I’m not as familiar with Trek as I should be.

Seriously though *all the screaming* !!!

Now please excuse me while I go and watch Voyager. I’m tempted to watch TNG or to try DS9 but as I can only watch one episode at a time I figured I should just stick with one show at a time.

I just need all the Trek. Picard is making me want all the Trek.

Hey everyone

I know I’ve been pretty invisible for ages and I’ve pretty much dropped out of fandom. Life stuff happened but I don’t want to talk about that, I’m just doing a little update on what I’ll be doing with this blog going forward.

I started off being all Rumbelle all the time in what I produced. Now I’m not really producing much of anything and it’s not usually Rumbelle. Pre-Rumbelle I had been 10 years out of fandom. In that time I’d written stuff but it was all original – Rumbelle was my return to fanfic.

So what does this mean?

Basically I have transitioned back to just working on original stuff. Will I ever write fanfic again? Absolutely – if I am inspired enough that I just have to write it, but I won’t be going looking for fanfic prompts anymore. I have joined the WriYe writing community and that’s where my focus is going to be writing-wise.

Drawing is another matter. I have made it a goal this year to produce one drawing a month and those will almost certainly be fandom-based at least to begin with. I don’t know what fandom because it’ll be driven by whatever I’m most in love with at the time.

I don’t expect anyone is following me for original content anymore given the drought over the last couple of years anyway 😛 so moving forward expect more of the same. I’ll reblog anything I see that I like through the queue (but it will likely run out a lot) and I’ll probably ramble sometimes like I do about what I’m watching, or about how drawing frustrates me. Then at some point a drawing should drop and I hope by this time next year I’ll be able to see an improvement in my skills.

Happy D20 Year! 🙂

I’m going to see the Rise of Skywalker this evening!

I’m excited (and a little scared) but mostly excited.

I’ve got my X-Wing t-shirt and my BB-8 sweater and I can’t wait for that jolt when the theme music starts up. Iconic.

You know what before I go see Rise of Skywalker I’m going to ramble a little more.

I don’t think it’s a secret that I wasn’t exactly The Last Jedi’s biggest fan. There was stuff I didn’t like but that’s not what this post is about – this is about what I did like.

Just off the top of my head:

– The Phantom Menace gave us Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon who I can still hear in my head and that epic duel of the fates Obi-Wan vs Maul.

– Attack of the Clones gave us Count Dooku, the arena battle and the schemes of Palpatine against Jar-Jar.

– Revenge of the Sith had the iconic “this is how liberty dies”, the amazing heroics of Bail Organa, Obi-Wan breaking hearts and that poor young Jedi who defended Bail when he went to see what was going on 🙁

– A New Hope IS the original and thus iconic in so so many ways. I could quote a lot. It’s a thing.

– Empire Strikes Back had that “No I am your father” line which is again iconic and it brought Lando.

– Return of the Jedi was “I am a Jedi like my father before me” and Lando saying something like what idiot would take on that level of danger and Han going well…

– Force Awakens gave us BB-8, Finn, Poe, Rey and General Leia. It literally brought all of that. I can’t imagine no Finn or BB-8.

– The Last Jedi hurt my heart with so many who fell in the resistance. Then there was that brilliant moment when Poe makes a suggestion and everyone turns to look at Leia, who turns to look behind her “don’t look at me, follow him”

And those are just the core movies! Rogue One gave us a bit more Bail with “I trust her with my life” and the heartbreaking heroics of the rebellion. Solo was cool, I wish they had done another so we could have seen where they were leading with Maul. Then extended universe! I adore The Clone Wars because it fleshes out so much – Maul, Mandalore, the Clones and even JarJar grew on me because of it! Then there’s Rebels which gave us Hera, Chopper, Sabine etc.

Nothing is ever perfect but I have loved a bit of everything I have listed here. That doesn’t include video games either. There’s a lot of Star Wars to love. I don’t know how George Lucas dreamed up laser swords in space but I am eternally grateful he did. So while I am nervous about what’s to come in Rise of Skywalker I also know there will be good.

Also I promise #NoSpoilers on my return 🙂 I would never do that.

I can’t believe I missed Ahsoka off that list I just made. The spaceships too: The Millenium Falcon, The Ghost (I don’t think I could pick between them). Captain Rex, although I did say about the clones development. There was Duchess Satine and Obi-Wan.

Have I mentioned how much I rate The Clone Wars?

Sorry I’m just babbling now because it’s Star Wars day. I get hyped for new things. I was massively hyped for Jedi Fallen Order last month. I can’t express it in real life because I don’t have any Star Wars fans around me so spilling out onto the tumblr 😛 as per usual 🙂
