So ... does this mean there are other Sci-Fi franchises known as ....

  • STAR TRES
  • STAR TRRS
  • STAR TARK
  • STAR WARK
  • STAR WAES
  • STAR WREK

because according to the clues given and probable answers, these are all correct .... and if you argue between two scifi franchises ... the answers never give as to which of the two they are.

My parents lived through famine in the 1950s in northern Ontario ... in Canada! They were born and raised in the wilderness and lived the first 20 years of their lives on their own without any government support, participation or inclusion. They were also survivors of the residential school system as children, so they survived IN SPITE of what the government tried to do to them.

So as children, whenever we would ever think of throwing away any edible food ... mom and dad would scold us and lecture us on the fact that they and their parents had to starve at one point in their lives.

I'm middle aged now, my parents are gone but I'll always remember their words and whenever I see any amount of food that might be thrown away, I do my best to save it, share it, preserve it ... or at the very least, give it to dogs, animals or crumble it up for birds to eat.

They taught me that one of the greatest sins that any person can perform is to waste food or deny it from someone else that might need it or use it.

That's a great plan ..... if you live north of the Arctic Circle

Yeah, I'm saving my 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel to power my 20 ton Doof Wagon with massive sound equipment and flame throwing guitar. That should be enough fuel to intimidate anyone that comes near my compound for about a week.

I just watched DS9 'Far Beyond The Stars' - Season 6 Episode 13

As a person of colour (I'm Indigenous Canadian) this was a very impactful, thoughtful and striking episode that really hit home on a lot of subjects they were still dealing with in 1998 when this first aired. The main story harkens back to the 1950s but much of the same issues from the mid century were still being felt in the 90s. In many ways, the messages from this show still resonate today.

We all like to think that 1950s style overt racism in the streets is a bygone thing and doesn't exist or not as prevalent any more but it is still there. I was totally amazed and blown away to watch this and to listen to the story it told. Racism may not be shouted in my face any more but I still feel it come out of the cracks of society every once in while and more often than not in social media forums and platforms where bad actors can anonymously scream and shout whatever they please.

This DS9 episode was a beautiful reminder of why I always loved Star Trek. It is through episodes like this that show us what we could be in the far distant future if we want it enough. As a kid and teenager, I always saw and understood the ideas and images of thinking that we could achieve a world in the future where colour, race, background or gender no longer mattered. I always noticed that in the Original Series and it was something I was really happy to see when I watched The Next Generation and Voyager as a teenager. I never got the chance to watch DS9 until now and after watching this episode I'm happy I did. That message of wanting a world of inclusion and openness is a really hopeful message I've always loved in Star Trek.

The bonus was in seeing all the actors, the main cast, and some of the supporting characters appear as they are in real life was amazing as well.

That simple message really resonated with me .... 'You are the dreamer ... and the dream'. We can all imagine a future where we can all be at our best and if we work hard enough towards it, we can be part of that dream. It's a small thing but in many ways, I'm happy to have this small community at c/tenforward with you ... I've always dreamt of enjoying Star Trek and now I feel that I am part of this digital dream with you all.

In everything else, I will never stop dreaming of a better future, no matter what may happen in the world ... I will always hope that we can all become part of that dream.

If you haven't seen the series yet, I would highly recommend it just to be able to see everything lead up to this episode. It is a definite highlight that will stick with me for a long time.

 
 

Just finished watching DS9 Season 6 Episode 10 'The Magnificent Ferengi' ..... and totally fun watch complete with the worst Ferengi in the series and a great cameo by Iggy.

One of my favourite from the series out of so many favourites so far. What a great and fun watch.

 

The highways are literal ice, either thawing, freezing or going to become ice later tonight and people all over facebook, messenger, whatsapp, whatever are all messaging each other and me and my family asking what the highways are like today and if they can safely go out. People are dying on the highways this week all over the north. Stay at home.

The safest thing to do is just don't go on the highway when it is raining in December in northern Ontario!!!
