Seraphima and Riker ...

Seraphima and Riker

Photo-A-Day #02625

One of the best things about Paramount + is that they have several great Star Trek shows ont he platform. I love Star Trek Discover, Strange New Worlds and now Starfleet Academy. Through Tik Tok I discovered a cosplayer named Seraphima and her service dog, Riker (Named for Johnathan Frake's character Commander Riker from Star Trek The Next Generation). Around Christmas Seraphima ran a campaign to get Riker (her dog) to meet Riker (Johnathan Frakes) at Wondercon. Meeting a celeb at these events can be costly so Seraphima sold photos of Riker that were "signed" by Riker. She put paw print signatures on the photos. When I got mine I also got this sweet christmas card of Seraphima and Riker along with some Star Trek themed stickers and the signed photo of Riker. It was a very nice package and she was able to raise enough to meet Johnathan Frakes recently. And some additional money to help pay for Riker's extensive vet bills.

I think about that today not only because Wonderconw as last week and Seraphima and Riker did finally get their moment to meet Johnathan Frakes but also because Paramount + cancelled Starfleet Academy. I'm really not happy about the cancellation. There is still a second season to be released but that will be the last one. There are many great characters in this series and I'm unhappy that they were not given time to fully develop with additional seasons. There is one character that I found the most interesting and he is a Klingon, the warrior race that has been the antagonists for much of Star Trek until they were allowed into the Federation. A couple of famous Klingons were Khan from Wrath of Khan and Lt. Worf from Star Trek The Next Generation. In Starfleet Academy we have a Klingon named Jay-Den Kraag. 

Jay-Den Kraag is played by Karim Diané and I follow him on Tik Tok. He shares a lot of behind the scenes stuff about the show. Karim is also getting a lot of hate because Jay-Den is a gay Klingon. Our, sadly, uneducated masses of Maga cult dipshits have deemed Star Trek as becoming too "woke". It sickens me that the overly vocal people are the ones who need to shut up the most. I mean, that's why we are where we are int he world right now. Loud mouthed idiots making it harder for the rest of us.

I love the character of Jay-Den Kraag because he is so different. He is from a warrior race but wishes to be a doctor. That is something that his family shuns. He is tall and imposing but is gentle and kind even though he has the voice of a rumbling dump truck. At every turn this character has shown himself to be much stronger than the warriors around him. I wish to see much more of his story. the show should have gotten many more seasons to develop these characters.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
