And now, the real lyrics to the theme from “Star Trek.” I swear.

Star Trek is a trek through the stars!

Our trek won’t go nearly that far!

With Kirk and Spock and often McCoy!

Scotty, Uhura, and Sulu—Oh Boy!

A Russian with hair like a mop

And Klingons always blowing their tops

A five-year mission is a great time for a Star Trek with you

On N-B-C!

Well…I read the “Star Trek Into Darkness” spoilers.

My favorite thrift-store find in some time. The discs inside are pristine and the cover is in excellent shape. The package itself is a fitting tribute to “the most acclaimed and, without a doubt, most intriguing Star Trek adventure of all time.”

Last time  Actually still this time on Star Trek: The Next Generation…

In an attempt to fill two hours, Riker watches the entire episode again.

“Now is happening now.”
“What happened to then?”
“We passed then.”

Okay, they never explain what the hell this thing is. Is it Q? Is it made by Q? Is it part of the whole Deneb IV “we can make whatever we want because we’re jellyfish” thing? Why is the Enterprise under siege by Good & Plenty candy?

Star Trek: The Next Generation. All seven seasons. Throwing myself back into my first fictional love to see what happens. Let’s go!

Deep Space Nine Theme — Single Version.

What the hell with the drums on this? Did they run the whole thing through Microsoft Songsmith and say “yeah, that’s fine whatever?”

Jerry Goldsmith, “Ilia’s Theme”

Because in the dark and the chill of a New York City night I can feel my heart soar. I’m carried away on the wind to a thousand different worlds, my mind drifting to imagined places and impossible ideas. There is comfort in your own creation, in turning the world into a brand new place with a single thought. It links you back to a time when you thought anything was possible, and for a few minutes you reclaim that.

Your body is prostrate on the mattress, but you’re nowhere near it. You’re off and dreaming. Bring me back a souvenir from the new planet you conquer or the new civilization you discover or the new time you visit. Goodbye, good luck, and good night.
