Catching up

The weekly extra photos post! Now with 45 percent more cat.

She’s helping me do a bit of research. You’ll see some of her hard work here in the next few days:

When she saw the preview for the upcoming Star Trek The Yankee asked me if this all constitutes a re-launch. I had to explain the differences, and the curious nature of fandom, where people will accept a Batman relaunch, but the fans — often the same folks — wouldn’t allow that for Trek. So I had to explain how the previous movie altered the timeline, and the speculation about who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing. I explained a bit of Gary Mitchell. I explained the premise behind the Eugenics Wars and Khan. I did not name Ceti Alpha V. I didn’t want her to think I was a nerd who knew all the planet names. (I don’t, really.)

And then I drew this simple chronological history of Trek. You’re welcome:

One logo is larger than the other. And the local affiliate has a bad typo here. Can you find it?

The Chinese is OK, but the fortunes are just so optimistic that I am forced to go back for more!

Every so often I have to go look for the cat. This isn’t hard to do, she’s a creature of very precise habits and schedules, for the most part. This is a complete violation of her suntanning time.

No idea what this is about:
