Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 27, 2024

OMC! Burt with the Vulcan Toebeans! Maybe if we’re lucky Gutter will sing us some Klingon Opera?

Elvis should get his Data right.

Weekly? Star Trek is on TV six nights a week.

But I avoid TNG. Did not care for that one.

Voyager and the Original Series for me!

Next: The Wrath of Roombas?

OT: Klingon

I have ST, TNG, DS9, ST: V, and ST:E seven days a week. Fun!

Well, the third panel glitches have stopped. That’s not a good sign. I wonder, were the glitches some sort of message to wake the Roombas and give them instructions for the invasion?

Burt, I highly recommend “Enterprise”. Trouble found T’Pol particularly fetching! ;D I have pictures to prove how avidly he admired her on screen and would try to attack someone who tried to attack her! ❤️

Spoken like a true nerd.

So if the raccoons are Trekkies/Trekkers, does this mean the opossums are Star Wars fans?

Since cats have 9 lives, “live long and prosper” would seem appropriate.

I’m thankful that ‘Enterprise’ is getting reappraised recently. It arrived at the end of ‘Star Trek’ fatigue and was never as bad as people thought. Well, except for ‘A night in Sickbay’ and ‘These are the voyages…’

Burr deserves a night off. Insulting Elvis every day is hard. Though after this I kinda get it.

I just watched some of the movies again and got some of the Easter eggs. Bones took a blood sample from the young Khan and injected it into a dead Tribble to see if the tissue would regenerate. Fascinating!

No glitch? This has a “It’s quiet out there. Too quiet.” feel about it.

I love that he’s doing the cat version of the Vulcan Salute. Peace and long life.

Isn’t The Woman a Star Wars fan? I seem to remember a panel in which she’s depicted as Princess Leia.

Next Generation? That’s been off the air since 1994. What is the time period for this comic strip?

There are a few episodes of TNG that have Spock in it, he could be there.

I see Burt as Chief Engineer Scotty and Elvis as grumpy Dr. McCoy!

How relevant, just the other day I was asking a coworker how Geordi’s VISOR worked! I never got into ST but I really like the VISOR.

Burt giving the Vulcan salute!

Did you knows? In Star Trek hoomins is the pesky aliens pestering and poking nose into other worlds or planets.

Burt with the exhibition of Politeness Judo.

Elvis toe beans, too!

ST:V Seven of Nine !

Your snark is illogical, Captain Elvis!

Here’s to BCN: Live long and prosper!

Careful. While the Burt’s away, the glitches shall play.

LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS!

DISCLOSURE: I’m old enough to remember when TOS was originally broadcast.

BCN is home to many fandoms; I’m assuming there will be multiple references to assorted TV and film SF&F genres.

OT – Anybody in the path of Helene. Are you there? Are you OK?

Rare sighting of toebeans on screen!!!

Also Spock was in some episodes of TNG.

DS9 for me! #Brunt #Weyoun #JefferyCombs

ooo, Trekkie stuff <3 STNG all the way for this Imzadi.

Elvis is not a Trekkie!

I’m loving all the Trek references today!

They will remember this time in September

When their feed wiggled just like Jell-o

They will remember the kind of September

When Elvis acted far from mellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When Burt watched Star Trek with his weekly space bros

Try to remember and if Burt is your mentor

Then follow, follow

/Tom Jones, Harvey Schmidt /Try to Remember

Love this! It reminds me of the big Sci-fi debates from that one summer (I can’t seem to find it).

OT – Another of the greats has departed. RIP, Maggie Smith

I’d never heard of her until I saw “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie”—and after that, I always have remembered how talented she was.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Burt-Ra: It looks like the Portentous Wind has died down for now. But be on the lookout for Things happening.

Beatrixia: I’ve been searching through the scrolls, and it looks like Queen Morticia and King Gomez of Castillo had a friend they called Thing. He could always be counted on to lend a hand.

Burt: Anyway, Trevor, Puck, and I are going to the oPyramid Gaming Room for an evening of Senat, Hounds and Jackals, and other games. Elvis should be joining us as well.

Bea: The Artisans and I are planning a trip to Afar to find out if the Nile Library has any further information.

Burt: Say hello to Beaver Lee Cleary for me.

Bea: I will. And we’ll be meeting Arachna there. She was gathering locusts for Nommy Nom Spider Treats. Made from sustainable locust plagues.

Burt: Well, all we can do is wait and go about our daily routine and prepare for the Thing.

Bea: I know all will turn out well when we are Dunn.

Way to stop an interview, Elvis.

Is he making the Vulcan greeting with his paw??? Cool!!

I must confess: I’ve been an SF nerd virtually all my life—I very fondly remember the TV show “Science Fiction Theater” which predated, so far as I know, all other SF-based TV, and rather like TZ, was effectively an anthology show. I of course remember ‘Twilight Zone’ as being some of the best of TV.

I watched the first 2-plus episodes of ‘Star Trek’; 2-plus because I didn’t finish the third one. Since then, aside from ‘Trouble with Tribbles’, I’ve never watched ST again. Someone wrote, back in the day, that Star Trek was “Wagon Train in space”. It struck me as true then. I can’t speak to any of the followup shows, as I’ve never watched any—note that I’m not a TV watcher, really. Some movies, some sports, some things which usually show on PBS—James Burke’s amazing series, “Connections” for one, ‘Iron Chef’ as my guilty pleasure.

I’m not, and absolutely would not—saying anything negative about folk who watch more TV than I, and even less would I insult those who love Star Trek. So, if it seems I don’t ‘get’ certain TV references, the above may help to explain it.

Oh. PS: we do have a couple thousand books in this house, a majority being speculative fiction of one sort or another.

Flashback to Sunday’s BCN: The Far Side (thefarside.CoM for today has a look at a Centauer Rodeo.

Yeah, you were never winning that argument, Elvis. You just don’t stand in the way of a Trekkie’s ability to watch their favorite Trek show. ;)

TNG and DS9 will always have a special place in my heart because DS9 premiered when I was in college, and we’d watch new episodes of TNG and DS9 on a big projection screen in one of the conference halls every week. :)

Also, thems of you that like TOS, TNG and DS9, give Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds a try, they’re excellent and done with a lot of love for the original serieses.

Elvis, don’t mess with Burt. You know better.

Also, never try to get the last word over someone who controls communication.

Good thing it wasn’t anything too serious. The worst kind of glitches are the ones you least expect.

I have found all the shows, animated and live action, to be fascinating along with all the movies except movie 5, which I watched once. SNW is my are favourite. Cannot wait for Star Trek:Academy to show.

And of course, Capt. Janeway is from BloomINgton! There is a statue of her there, along the B-Line Trail. More at janewaystatue . Com :-)

Burt has it wrong: Vulcans control their emotions, not suppress them. Witness the occasions in TOS where Spock’s control slipped.

Great job there, Burt!

What is Elvis wearing? Good point about Spock.

There is a series of 3 books called These Are The Voyages one for each season of TOS by Marc Cushman that go into great detail about about everything “behind the scenes” for each episode. It helps explain how budget cuts helped tank the final season. Gene Roddenberry and Robert H. Justman gave their seal of approval to the book and gave the author access to “behind the scenes” information.

DS9 fan here. Some of the best lines and episodes, the crew of the Discovery end up in the same timeline as the Enterprise Trouble With Tribbles episode. And the one with the baseball game between the DS9 crew and a crew of Vulcans, Sisco; “Let’s hear some chatter!”, Kira; “Heree batter batter”, Warf, “Death to the opposition!” Quark was a hoot, with his ongoing rivalry with Odo

They watch it mainly in the hope that Spot will make an appearance.

The EMF makes me think that the ghosts maybe a bit active this, soon t be, October.

I want to watch ST with the raccoons.

O.T. – FLOOD DANGER

The Unicoi County Animal shelter was underwater and begging people to foster their animals, it breaks my heart that I couldn’t help, but I’m a little far from their area and my three elderly boys would not take kindly to strangers in the house, even temporarily.

Burt, you are now and forever my favorite cat here!

Yes, I play favorites, but doesn’t mean I do not like the rest (especially, Puck). Oh wait… there I go again.
