'Johnathan Frakes asserts his dominance over almost every chair he encounters in Star Trek" Always cracks me up.

I've been watching Star Trek shows since 1966. Lower Decks is a joy and will be greatly missed. Thanks to the writers and performers for that joy.

19:50 - Incorrect. Nichols had appeared on documentaries all the way back in the 1990's telling the MLK story. I forget if it was the "Star Trek Memories" or the 25th Anniversary Special, but it was definitely one of those VHS releases (if not both). LONG before 2011

The theme song lyrics are not a "Secret that Took Years to Discover;" they were published in 1968 in "The Making of Star Trek, " by Stephen Whitfield -- while the series was still in production.

As always thank you Marcus and friends so very much for the videos.
(I hope Ellie is feeling better.)

9:21 - I don't believe Benedict Cumberbatch was Khan. Khan Noonien Singh was born in Northern India, whereas the whiter than snow Cumberbatch was obviously.... not. But hear me out; My head canon is, Khan informed his fallowers, 'whomever was woken up first to pretend to be Khan, to protect Khan'. Well, Cumberbatch was the one who was woken up first, so he became Khan, while the real Khan was still in asleep stasis. And everything he did in the movie was to protect Khan and his fellow followers. Now if you go into the movie thinking this, the movie makes a heck of a lot more sense.

I don't know if this has been spotted before but here goes just in case. In an episode of next generation Picard demonstrates to Moriarty what happens if he leaves the holladec by throwing a book out of the entrance. But in Farpoint Wesly Crusher comes out of the holladec soaking wet after falling in the made up stream but as he comes out into the hall he is still wet. Should he not be dry?

If you didn’t get the Enterprise theme, you aren’t thinking very deeply.
The point was that Enterprise was closer to our time, culturally if not chronologically, and they chose a theme that reflected that.

Nothing like looking at Marcus! Glad to see him in more than just a voice-over!

At 11:09, Brennan isn't Spock's half sibling; She"s adopted.

Enterprise season 3 not ending with Archer saying "oh boy" is a worse decision than the series finale

This was a good one AJ. Thanks for all you do. ❤

9:17 - I feel like I'm one of only a handful of people who really liked Into Darkness. I think it's because I didn't compare one film to another and watched it as a self-standing universe. Opinions are valid, and I have mine -shrug-

12 mins in, and I had completely forgotten I was watching a "140 Things" list. Checked the time bar, 2 hrs 35 mins. Gonna have to pick this up later.

I really like this Deep Dive into BTS Trek facts.

I still say to this day their greatest missed opportunity was an episode of DS9 that tied into Star Trek: First Contact. Picture the plot: Sisko receives a transmission from Starfleet Command informing him of the return of the Borg, and the opportunity to finally see the Defiant serve it's purpose as an anti-Borg ship. When Sisko responds that he'll prepare to launch immediately, the Admiral informs him that Starfleet Command has decided that he is too valuable an officer to risk on such a mission, despite his involvement in Wolf 359. They tell him they have someone else in mind to command the Defiant, a skilled tactical officer with a history of combating the Borg: Lt. Commander Worf. I think it would've been a great crossover and promotion for the movie....

Fun fact: those red tube thingies also show up in the movie The Last Starfighter (and I'm sure others, but that's where I know them). They are in Star League High Command, and when we first meet Grig, he is messing with one as if it's doing... something.
"And Trekies probably nitpick their favorite franchise far more than any other fans." *cough* Comic book fans... Though it's just kind of a nerd thing to do in general. We like pointing out the bad things while still enjoying it... mostly. That and getting angry at anything new, then begrudgingly accepting it, and eventually saying it wasn't so bad or even really good when something else new comes out to complain about.

"I've got faith" is my favourite star trek opening. Fight me.

The reflective green I remember seeing that when I watched unification for the first ever time on the BBC. I don't know why but it's always been stuck in my head
