“I really did live and breathe Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I cared about Buffy more than I cared about my real life. And just having that consistency — when I was, like, 10, I watched the first season of that show while it aired, and was with it for seven years. And it was such a tool of dissociation for me. It was, in hindsight, I think, very much a coping mechanism for not being able to form the kinds of deep romantic relationships that other people can form when they’re an adolescent in the right body. I wasn’t in a place where I could open myself up to people, but here was this show that was so emotional, that I could have this relationship with.” -Jane Schoenbrun

September 2022 is the month marking 35 years of Star Trek TNG, the show that introduced me to the Star Trek universe and Science Fiction as a whole, and shaped so much of my life.

Over on Twitter, I was asked to take part in the #TNG35Art, where many artists who love TNG will be showing art they made in celebration each day of the month.

There is little I can say about "Far Beyond the Stars" (S06E13, Stardate Unknown) that has not already been said. It is a masterpiece episode that succeeds on every premise it attempts. This would have been impossible to pull off with any other cast, and Avery's performance is mesmerizing.

I managed to track down this Christies listing from 2006 with the MOST GARBAGE PHOTO that makes it look like it's been sitting in a smoker's house for 20 years.

So I took the liberty of downloading it and retouching it to better match it's original condition. Et voila! It's too gorgeous for that awful Christie's photo to be the only memory of it.

Learning very whale.
