“Canada Post has been rolling out a series of Star Trek-themed stamps, one at a time, in honour of the iconic TV show’s 50th anniversary. […] The latest of these stamps was publicly unveiled in London, Ont., on Tuesday. It features an image of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, as portrayed by the late actor DeForest Kelley.”

Happy Hallowe'en!
Sudden intense desire for a t-shirt that says, in pretty letters with sparkles:
I left my tooth on Cardassia Prime
Piller also notes that it had been established in “Emissary” that the Cardassians trashed the station before giving it to the Bajorans, and clearly the most effort would be put into restoring the core facilities we see in every episode, which is a delightfully savvy diegetic explanation for restricting a TV show to a limited number of permanent sets.
You should be reading these wonderful writeups of DS9 episodes. Chock-full of delicious tidbits like the above. Insightful, too.
[…E]ven if you’ve waited ten hours to do your scene in your little trailer, and you come out at 2 in the morning to finally work, it doesn’t matter that it’s 2 in the morning, it doesn’t matter that you’re tired or hungry or your makeup is driving you crazy – because what is about to be filmed will be watched and will be important and will have something to say. So you gotta bring it!
[…] when I catch bits of episodes, I go “You know what, it has staying power.” Armin and I used to say on the set — when people would say “You know, I don’t know if I really like this.” — we’d go “You know what, in ten years people will get it.” And I think even ten years from now, people will get the show.
“Let’s Play! › Klingons, Romulans, and Cardies, Oh My! Let’s Play Birth of the Federation”
There’s a Something Awful Let’s Play of “Birth of the Federation” going on, and it seems to have attracted some pretty funny Trekkies. They’re playing as the Ferengi. And everybody in the thread has quoted a Rule of Acquisition at least once.
Worth a look!
