  1. Ah, “Mudd’s Women”–I think the title of that book should have been All I Really Need to Know I Learned from “Star Trek.”

  2. I could not beleive that I was actually using it as an example, I thought ‘here is an opening for a Rachel comment’

  3. Never mind. Satuday night I was listening to a roundtable discussion of antimatter (podcast link available if anyone is interested!), and one of the participants actually said something along the lines of “That’s why the Enterprise engines are powered by antimatter.” And Sunday I was listening to a lecture on classical mythology, and the lecturer ended by saying that she thinks the mythic impulse has moved–we can’t put our monsters in the far corners of the Earth, because we’ve been there, so we put them in outer space; we can’t put heroes in the past because archeologists have shown us too much of our past, so we put them in the future, our descendants instead of our ancestors–and she specifically referenced Star Trek (not Star Wars, that’s in a galaxy far, far away). So, hell with it, Star Trek forever!
