🔖 Read Women of a Certain Age.

Great piece about how the Golden Age of TV creates space for roles beyond somebody’s mom, somebody’s wife, and harpyish crone. 📺🍿

W: Do you know the first documented time “Google” was used as a verb?

Me: Yes, it was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer 👩🏼, Willow said it, it was in Season 7, it was in reference to the character Cassie who claimed to speak on Tara’s behalf. But I don’t remember which episode.

I just finished the midseason finale of #StarTrekDiscovery and I thought it was beautifully done. Space family talking through problems is my fave. This is SOCIAL science fiction. ❤️ Replies may contain spoilers. 📺🖖🏻

Me, watching STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION and seeing a newborn in a glass bassinet in sickbay with the birthing parent nowhere in sight: “What, in the 24th century there’s no rooming in?” (Rooming in wasn’t common in 1990 but it was a thing by 1994.) 📺🖖🏻

I just watched the SHORT TREKS episode “Q & A” and it has me really excited for STRANGE NEW WORLDS. 📺💻🖖🏻

How much do we know about the instructors at Starfleet Academy and their pedagogy? 🖖🏻📺

Every time we’re watching Power Rangers and Kimberly says “I’m Kimberly” I say “I’M Kimberly!” and I don’t think my kid likes it. 📺

Anybody else get a little Billy-Crystal-as-Miracle-Max vibe from Brent Spiner’s performance as very-old Dr. Noonian Soong? 🖖🏻📺
