This is definitely not my cup of tea, but I can see how some people might be attracted to the different take on Sabrina and the witches from Riverdale, Ronnie & Betty. I didn't see anything that makes me want to read the next volume. 3 💥💥💥 out of 5

Ho-hum...Thanos gains the ultimate power, fights all of Marvel's superheroes, and destroys the universe...AGAIN!! Pretty much just a retread of the far superior Infinity Gauntlet series. 2 💥💥 out of 5

My favorite coming of age book is definitely The Outsiders. I've read it several times, I'm not usually a re-reader, and of course I've seen the movie many times.

Coming of Age isn't the worst episode, and I don't hate the Wesley Crusher B-Plot. He's actually not as annoying in this story as usual, good moments with Murdock and Picard. Plus the episode is a set up for the Conspiracy episode

#StarTrekSummerMay #ComingofAge @Megabooks

Confusing at times, but never dull. Three FBI newbies get involved in a hunt for a bioterrorist who has created a new strain of anthrax. The bioterrorist's motives aren't really clear until near the end, and the finale is a bit jumbled, but overall it's a solid thriller. 3 💥💥💥 1/2 out of 5.

While the Kelvin Universe version of Wrath of Khan wasn't as good as the original, Cumberbatch did have his moments as Khan.

I had to rewatch this episode because I could not remember it. Now I know why, it's a total stinker!! Riker's "romance" with Yuta is painful to watch, and his depression over her death seemed unbelieveable since he had just met her.

People say a tomato is a fruit, but you never see it in fruit salad. I'm telling you, it's a conspiracy!!

Identity Crisis was a snoozer of an episode, which I find most Geordie episodes to be. I don't he's that interesting a character, compared to the other male leads.

#StarTrekSummerMay #IdentityCrisis @Megabooks

1. Summer movie season, new Spider-Man movie
2. Nothing has caught my eye yet (so many new releases are part of series), so working on #LitsyAtoZ and Mount TBR.
3. No really a snack, but corn on the cob, picked fresh from the garden, is my favorite summer food. Also, of course my favorite drink is the reliable Arnold Palmer.

Future humans use technology to pretend to be Hindu Gods.

Horrible pun, but all puns are pretty horrible, that's what makes them fun.

Disaster was an okay episode, for a ship board story. I liked Picard with the kids best. Stewart was great showing Picard's initial discomfort with the kids, changing into respect for them.

#StarTrekSummerMay #Disaster @Megabooks

Another episode of TNG that I had to go back and watch to refresh my memory. Interesting idea, since we've met Data's father before, now we can meet his mother. I was kind of sad to see she wasn't "real" but in a way that made her more his mother than if she were flesh and blood.

Everyone deserves a second chance they say, I'm not always so sure. My ex-wife got her chance and burned me to the ground.

This is another favorite episode of TNG. Jonathan Frakes does a great job of differentiating his Commander Riker from his Lieutenant Riker. I'm just sorry that, except for an episode of DS9, we didn't get to see more of Thomas Riker.

Maybe I'm weird, but I never had any imaginary friends. I was fine keeping myself entertained, but I never felt the need to create imaginary playmates to join in.

I found the episode, Imaginary Friend, to be kind of lackluster, too neatly tied up with a talk from Picard to Isabella. Not much of a menace.

#StarTrekSummerMay #ImaginaryFriend @Megabooks

Sorry I'm a little late with this one. On paper this episode had to look stupid, Picard vs the Devil, but it turned into a fun episode, one of my favorites from season 4. Too bad Ardra was just a one shot character, it would have been enjoyable to see her cross paths with Picard again.

#StarTrekSummerMay #DevilsDue @Megabooks

I wavered between a pick and so-so with this book. It didn't really work for me as a Hellraiser story, not nearly as bloody or gruesome as expected, nor as a traditional Sherlock Holmes story. The spectacular ending battle pushing it over to a pick. 3 💥💥💥 1/2 out of 5

#LitsyAtoZ #LetterS @BookishMarginalia

Another TNG episode I had to rewatch to refresh my memory. Fairly forgettable, interesting mystery I guess, although I never really felt like the Enterprise was in any real danger.

#StarTrekSummerMay #Contagion @Megabooks

I bailed on this book the first time, too much math made my brain hurt. I tried again with the audio, which was much better, but still at times the math was overwhelming. Will Wheaton is an excellent narrator, which surprised me since his voice usually annoys me. 3 💥💥💥 1/2 out of 5

I remember the first time I saw one of these two restaurants in one building places, thinking how clever. Definitely the best of both worlds, as long as you don't want a burger lol.

The Best of Both Worlds is probably the best known, if not the best episode of TNG. The Borg at their best, most menacing level....and that ending, Riker looking defiant, saying Fire!

#StarTrekSummerMay #TheBestofBothWorlds @Megabooks

Forget Avengers:Endgame. For a kid who grew up on late 60s - early 70s cartoons, this is the team-up I've been waiting for!! Johnny Quest, Space Ghost, the Herculoids, Birdman, Frankenstein Jr, the Galaxy Trio, The Impossibles and Ugh & Dino Boy all in the same comic is a fanboy dream come true!! 5 💥💥💥💥💥 out of 5

#HannaBarberaRules!!

Remember Me was another fun TNG episode. Dr. Crusher didn't get the spotlight often, so it was nice watching her work out this clever mystery.

#StarTrekSummerMay #RememberMe @Megabooks

Beautiful sunny day, perfect day to add to Mount TBR. I'm pretty sure I read Seinlanguage back in the 90s, since I was a huge fan of the show, but if so I don't remember it. I found The Cuckoo's Calling at Goodwill for $1, thought I'd check it out since everyone on Litsy has praised the series.

@Megabooks continues to pick some of my favorite ST:TNG episodes. A Matter of Honor has it all, action, conflict and lots of humor. I like the scene of Riker taste testing Klingon "delicacies"

#StarTrekSummerMay #AMatterofHonor @Megabooks

If you're unfamiliar with Chuck Klosterman, which I was until very recently, I highly recommend you seek out his books. He has a wonderful skewed view of the world, which he tells in a very humorous way. I laughed out loud several times while listening to this. 4 💥💥💥💥 out of 5

Conspiracy was definitely my favorite episode of season 1, I'm just disappointed they never followed up on it. The ending was tailor made for a sequel.

#StarTrekSummerMay #Conspiracy @Megabooks

📖 Dahlgren - the most mind blowing book I've ever read
🎥 Scanners - if you've seen the movie, you'll know what I mean

#manicmonday @joscho

I love Lwaxana Troi, her character is a comic gem. I thought this quote was apt for this episode, since she was definitely on the hunt for a good man.

#StarTrekSummerMay #Manhunt @Megabooks

Another episode I had to go back and watch, I only remembered it vaguely. Overall good episode, a little heavy-handed with the moralizing, but still entertaining.

#StarTrekSummerMay #TheEnemy @Megabooks

Very funny, I laughed out loud many times. Hughley takes tough subjects, police brutality and racism, and uses his razor sharp wit to make the listener laugh but also to think and question their own views on race. 3 💥💥💥 1/2 out of 5

Future Imperfect is another one of my favorite TNG episodes. I totally bought into the time jump, Riker with his touch of grey hair, Data as his first officer. Not that I don't like Picard, but Riker is my favorite TNG character, so I like him as captain of the Enterprise.

#StarTrekSummerMay #FutureImperfect @Megabooks

Busy day, I'm late with my #StarTrekSummerMay for Friday. #Violations was a truly creepy episode, showing the dark side of mental powers. It made my skin crawl watching it again.

@nelehelen Here's what the viking ruins pinkie ring looks like. I'm usually wearing either this or my LOTR gold pinkie ring. I used to work for Zales and got into rings, most are fantasy related, like my silver ring with the Stark wolf from GOT.

#SummerSantaGoesPostal @nelehelen

Do we need another comical super-team book? I'm not sure, but this one is funny, well written, good characterization and nice bold, bright artwork. I don't know how long it will take for the chuckles to wear thin and they turn things "serious", but I'd read more of it while it stays funny. 4 ???? out of 5

If I didn't already have one foot out the door, this book would have pushed me the rest of the way out. The sinister side of social media is real, and people need to wake up to the danger of Facebook. My only complaint, McNamee seemed to be a bit of a Zuckerberg apologist, one minute he's brilliant, next he didn't know how Facebook could be used by bad people. I disagree. 3💥💥💥 1/2 out of 5.

#TheChase is one of my favorite next gen episodes. Its exciting but also a thoughtful episode, with big ideas and implications to the Star Trek universe. Any story that uses Picard's interest in archaeology is a hit with me.

#StarTrekSummerMay #TheChase @Megabooks

This used to be one of my favorite movies, but I watch it recently, for the first time in like 10 years, and I didn't find it quite as enjoyable. Seemed more melodramatic than I remembered.

#Liaisons is another episode I had to go back and watch again because it didn't ring any bells with me. It was interesting, a nice cultural exchange. However, Picard and Anna's storyline was fairly predictable.

#StarTrekSummerMay #Liaisons @Megabooks

1. If its non-fiction, it's the opportunity to learn something new. If its fiction, it's interesting, clever characters and worlds that are different from my own.
2. Comics, movie soundtracks and ink pens (the last one is a bad compulsion since I work in an office supply store)
3. Only cookbook I have is an old Betty Crocker cookbook my mom gave me.
4. No, don't like poetry

Yeah I know it's the original Enterprise not the next gen version, but I liked the image so there....

I thought this episode was very heavy handed and preachy, plus everyone knew they weren't going to leave Worf a paraplegic.

#StarTrekSummerMay #Ethics @Megabooks

News Flash: Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are horrible, horrible people!! Gasp, I know right, who would have thunk it? Seriously though, I don't think I've ever come across two people so shallow, superficial, materialistic, greedy and petty. They're made for each other. Trump must be so proud, she is him made over. 4 💥💥💥💥 out of 5.

I'll be honest, I had to look-up this episode of ST:TNG online because I didn't remember it at all. I watched it last night, I don't think I've seen it before or it just didn't leave
a big impression on me. Good episode, fun mystery

#StarTrekSummerMay #Clues @Megabooks

Sadly, Lore wasn't that kind of brother for Data. One of my favorite episodes, a tour de force performance by Brent Spiner as Lore, Data and Dr Soong.

I actually enjoyed this episode of TNG, although many consider it a bad one. Marina Sirtis gave a wonderful, heartfelt performance, and I've always thought she was an underappreciated part of the show
