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🎵

Is this ad real? I know the game is real.

I don’t want him associating with my favorite movie. Secondly, he probably thinks the theatrical cut is the canonical one.

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.

Years ago it was a trend to put activated charcoal in stuff like toothpaste and milk based coffee drinks.

I assumed it was a weird reference to the Phoenix Force from X-Men.

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?

 

Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.

 

Got a Blue Dream pod. This was much stronger than I expected.

 

Here is me at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Hilton. This was 1997 (spring or summer). I got to go on The Klingon Encounter (which may have been the only ride-type attraction at the time). The line to enter was lined with status of Borg (First Contact had just come out the previous November).

This is a memory that I hold dear. It made a huge impact on me. Getting to see a recreation of the Enterprise-D bridge, go on a turbolift, use a transporter (just a rotating wall and lights) and the shuttlecraft (think Star Tours) was so awesome. My mom remembers when we were on the transporter pad, having her hand on my chest and feeling my heart rate increase.

The whole attraction was a mix of video featuring TNG cast and live actors.

 

My birthday was last week (May 17). Decided to get my first tattoo, which I wanted to be Trek related. As a kid my family had a VHS tape with a recording of “All Good Things…” (and for unknown reasons, “Caretaker”). So I have seen the episode a dozen times. It is my favorite episode of the franchise. The image I’m sharing shows the tattoo only three days old.
