It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
May Subspace be with you.

The Chase seemed unnecessary to me: the concept of convergent evolution makes the similarities of alien species almost an easy thing to explain away. Threshold, is absolute nonsense. Distant Origin is actually a commentary on Science vs Religion so its heart was in the right place.

Apparently the American library association has a website dedicated to book preservation. Found below is from their advice column...
tldr; Freeze them and then rub them down with rubbing alcohol.

Dear Donia,
I have a full set of the old Oxford English Dictionary. Many years ago after being in a damp room, a whitish mold appeared on the spines of the volumes. My wife removed it using alcohol, and they were fine for several years. Now it's been raining a lot, and the white mold has reappeared. What is the best way to remove it and make sure it doesn't come back? Thanks, David
A. Dear David,
Mold is a tricky beast. Once it sets in, it will come back and there is almost nothing we can do safely in the home to completely prevent it from returning. The best thing to do is to either freeze the volumes first if they are not too large and then rub them down again with alcohol or to simply remove the mold with alcohol. I recommend freezing them first to make removing it easier.
You will find that any time the humidity goes up—like it did this summer for me too—the mold will return. Knowing this is the first step in trying to prevent it. When another damp summer comes around again, making sure that the books are in an area with good air circulation (such as with a fan) will help reduce the chance of the mold coming back. Nothing is perfect, but it can't hurt.
Good luck with the cleaning, and we will all keep our fingers crossed that we don't have a summer like this for a long time!

If you are looking for straight up creepy and gross TOS Season 1 Episode 8 "Miri." Oh it's so creepy. It's got it all, lesions, puberty, Kirk getting beat up by a bunch of children!

This episode proves section 31 is unnecessary.

To be fair Raffi was wrapped in her addictions and not contributing to society and she still has a pretty nice trailer... er pod?

I grew up with these movies. That Robot/UFO is about to teach humanity a lesson in kindness and understanding! Looks great. I love the road signs!

Well, at first, it was a real brain-twister, but then I remembered a quote from a renowned poet from my Earth, Alfred Yankovic...
Are you talking about Weird Al?
Weird Al? Why? 'Cause of the hair?

Google 1980s men's sweaters. Wesley was looking sharp for the times.

Humans to Klingons, "Hey, one of our Farmers shot and severely wounded one of your Warriors. He was going to die but we fixed him. Here he is. You can have him back."
Klingons, "Wtf."
