I’m pretty sure this is in response to a recent California bill that forces digital storefronts to disclose if it is a license you are getting. Otherwise the storefront is not allowed to use words like “buy” or “purchase”.

Maybe all the tragedies and accidents associated with the trilogy have influenced how people view it?

How do I crosspost?

65 sounds correct since it aired only between 1999-2001.

I swear my first cousin, once removed was in a episode. I have a memory of her showing it off to me.

I once got a wrong text from someone identifying themselves as a person named Sky. I proceeded to try to act like I thought they were Sky Tate from Power Rangers S.P.D.

The whole meme and the title are references to “Sugar We’re Goin Down” by Fall Out Boy.

The chorus: 🎵 We're going down, down in an earlier round/And sugar, we're going down swinging/ I'll be your number one with a bullet/ A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it🎵

I knew one teacher that would drink one Code Red a day.

Another was addicted to Diet Coke. They stopped class to have someone deliver a case of it. They wouldn’t continue the lesson (it was an elementary school class in the computer lab) or let anyone touch the computers while they waited.

And they built it from scratch without and existing guides. There were sketches someone found, believing to be from the original production but later turned out to be inaccurate drawings.

Yay, my birthday falls on the last weekend. I definitely want to be there.

I bet the “piece” of the bridge is the captain’s chair. What else would it be?

You wanna be Bella Swan, the teenage girl with depersonalisation disorder or Edward Cullen, the predatory 104 year old vampire?

The vampires in Twilight are described as have unique powers. Edward is a mind reader.

  1. He is attracted to a teenager whom he tries to stay away from at all times.
  2. Bella has no thoughts. Edward is never able to sense a single thought from her.
  3. Midnight Sun, the latest book, is set during the first book, which is about Edward’s period which he ran away from Forks, Washington (the setting).
  4. Are you sure you want something associated with 50 Shades of Grey? That book series is Twilight fan fiction. Even the movie adaptation of the first book goes as far as to copy fscenes from the first Twilight movie.
  5. Oh and one of the characters is a werewolf who is supernaturally destined to fall in love with Bella’s unborn child.

EDIT: I have thoughts about Twilight, none of them good.

Maybe when the first was written, sequels weren’t even considered yet?

 
 

 

So I recently embraced and continued my love of Star Trek within the last two years. I think back to First Contact Day and how many Trekkies like myself ate a yeah you kind of forget that what they’re doing kind of forget that they’re not on a starship where they can do this as much as they want a meal of pierogies, salmon, and tequila while watching the movie First Contact.

Are there any similar ways people celebrate Star Trek Day?
