Maybe Muppet Orville would be more viable, since they’re both Disney?

And we have Seth McFarlane play the Kermit the Frog plush on his desk. Not a plush of Seth McFarlane, but a full-size Seth McFarlane wearing a Kermit onsie and sitting on the desk. (Although then, it breaks what makes Muppet adaptations good - the humans taking their roles entirely seriously.$

Although Kermit’s too nice to be Ed, and Mrs. Piggy is a really bad fit for Kelly. Okay, maybe a lot of the characters on The Orville would be really hard to map to Muppets.

Yes, all 100 years of them, because that's the only thing they can look forward to in their careers.

Indeed, and where despite supposed to be getting married, Lwaxana spoils Alexander, and in doing so, is a better parent than Worf ever was.

And somehow, it all works out, and Worf, Alexander, Deanna, and Lwaxana all end up in a mud bath in a holodeck program that gives the vibes of the aliens' version of Alice in Wonderland.

Martin Freeman’s 2005 film portrayal, which I admittedly don’t hate, but still think Jones does a better job overall.

You know, while that badge is mostly non-canonical, I could totally see those Starfleet security guys who wear those dorky helmets also having one of those.

I mean, how else do you explain TNG:"Cost of Living", which I think overall is perhaps the most drug trip episodes of TNG, and that's including "Frame of Mind".

I didn’t even know there was a Quantum Leap reboot, but then again, I’ve never watched Quantum Leap to begin with.

(Solved) A Minor Mystery: Can anyone identify where this image of DeForest Kelley pulling a rabbit out of a hat comes from? (startrek.website)

I recently came across this meme. After researching, the original meme appears to be https://www.geeksandgamers.com/topic/star-trek-doctor-mccoy-memes/ in late 2020.

That leaves me with one question: Where is this frame of DeForest Kelley from? Looking through both my memories and a double-check in MemoryAlpha, I'm certain it's not from TOS. Is there someone here more familiar with DeForest Kelley's filmography or, alternatively, someone who actually has the time to start looking through DeForest Kelley films?

Songs that Deserved a Music Video (startrek.website)
 

Are there any songs that didn't get a music video that you guys think deserved one?

Personally, I think of "We Want a Rock" from Flood, "Thunderbird" from The Spine, and "Brontosaurus" from BOOK.

Thoughts on Cheekface (startrek.website)
 

Do any of you guys listen to the band Cheekface? I like them a decent amount (not as much as TMBG, though).

I've always found lyrically, they have some of the same vibes as They Might Be Giants (if a bit more consistently dark), the vocals somewhat remind me of the Johns (in that it wouldn't necessarily have mainstream appeal, yet makes the song better), but the music itself is a bit different. (Funny enough, they did a cover of Ana Ng, though I'd say it is only okay.)

Most oddly specific TMBG song you have seen a non-fan like (startrek.website)
 

I had a bizarre experience once where I was telling a friend I like the band, and of all the songs he could have known from the band, he only knew (and really liked) "Let's Get This Over With". I love that song, but I find it funny it's not one of their kids albums or Birdhouse in Your Soul.

Have you guys had any similar tales?

Thoughts on TAS Theme (startrek.website)
 

What are your guy's thoughts on the theme for Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973)?

I feel like:

  1. It almost sounds like the battle music for a Star Trek turn-based JRPG on the Nintendo DS.
  2. I feel like PRO's theme gives very similar vibes to this one while having a distinct identity.
  3. I almost feel like this theme is a weird in-between of the TOS theme and TNG-era theme (which makes perfect sense - I mean what else would be between the 60s and the 80s).
