Welcome to Litsy!

(1981) The Enterprise crew is charged with transporting the king and princess of a planet with rare mineral reserves. The king dies, Kirk goes spy-hunting, and Spock and McCoy take the princess to retrieve a crown that will prove her legitimacy as the king's successor. Mixed feelings: there's a lot going on here, too much for its length really. But McCoy gets a spotlight that is not wasted, and the Spock/Bones dynamic feels about right.

“It's gray, Jim,“ said Dr. Leonard McCoy.

I still haven't finished any of my #readYourKindle picks for January, but time marches and here are picks for February. I've been warned the Star Trek episode is awful, but I've heard good things about the Hamilton, and don't remember why I picked up the other two. They were free, probably. I hope to get to at least two of these and make up for my disappointing show last month.

Lorelei tried to knock things on the floor as I watch a film with friends. She‘s so silly. 😆😆😆

08/100 Imagine Star Trek filtered through Douglas Adams, with a splash of Gilbert & Sullivan, an a huge dollop of the misunderstanding tropes from Three's Company. That's what this book was, the worst kind of slapstick silliness, it even has a pie fight between the Federation and the Klingons!! Amazing that this tripe comes from an author as good as John M. Ford. 2 ⭐⭐

Welcome to #MentalHealthMonday! What are you doing today to take care of your mental health? So far I've watched Star Trek with friends & spent time with my husband. I'm about to excercise & maybe take a nap. Taking care of our mental health will be vital in the coming weeks, months, & beyond. We still live in an "f your feelings" society & it's likely to get worse. Making mental health a priority is one way to fight back.

(1981) The Enterprise is called to the planet Alnath, into a situation involving a mysterious archaeological dig, a Klingon dreadnought in orbit, and a shipful of dead Vulcan scientists. Shortly after arrival, the crew begins acting in out-of-character, impulsive ways. The story's okay, except for bits that haven't aged well (though Kirk and Scotty admiring a junior officer's ass must have already been a little cringey even in 1981, surely)

The Officers' Mess of the starship USS Enterprise was a small, rather cozy room, with comfortable chairs, moderately bright lighting, and a food-service wall with four delivery slots, no waiting.
