2018's Memorial Day

Page guide 2

One of the things that makes it hard to tie Star Trek into every holiday, is the scarcity of crossover information...

This is our best tie-in to the military, since TOS:

"Greitens' service organization The Mission Continues has a partnership with Star Trek director J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions and Paramount Pictures, and that led to Greitens and his fellow ex-soldiers being cast as honor guards at a Starfleet memorial ceremony."

There is no one who has died while in military service, yet, that has a tie--that I can find. And with the improvement in percentages of US military that dies, that is going to be harder and harder to reconcile, as a tie-in. (This is a good thing!)

But fans have died in combat. The least we could do is remember the loss of people we could be arguing Discovery with, right now.

I did memorials for the  "big 4", in order to keep it to Star Trek theme:

James Doohan was the one who came closest, since D-day deaths were so tragically random.

 This was really the closest scene to a military style death, that I remember, out of the whole series.

And it got a laugh out of a surviving serviceman. They need laughter on rough days, like Memorial day.

And what's Memorial day without a few graves?  Btw, the coins on Nimoy's grave actually have a Memorial day meaning. Look up the tradition on the coins.

The fun thing about 

The first one I did, as I was looking for filler. I don't like "disrespecting military", and I had concerns with Military getting upset, with this one. Wanted to pull it, but was asked to keep it up.

Sucked to lose him, anyway.

Thanks to all who have done the thankless task, especially those who have paid with their lives.

Blues Brother's TOS

Mike Mac really loves working with reimaging Kirk. This time it's the Blues Brothers.

Mine required a touch of "storyboarding":

Code of Honor

Page guide 2

This is from one of the most hated shows in TNG.  I generally hold that if it is on par with Spock's Brain, it is indeed Star Trek. Most folks will insist that Code of Honor is such a weasel.

Anyway, Justin Minor posted it with this subtitle:

Wakanda Forever!

The Black Panther movie was no where near as bad as this mess of an episode. He did it just to mess with people, and express his opinion that the movie sucked.  But, at least everyone started making fun of a bad episode.

Really, this is one of the better ways to deal with something awful: make fun of it.

Edit: Something we aren't allowed to do anymore without accusations flying everywhere. 2020 was so disparaging that I even stopped memeing for about 2 months. Plain burned out. This was old, December of 2018, for Kwanzaa.

Of all the vagaries of life, I never expected to see anything close to the Bell Riots.
