Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Why DSC ever named a university after a scumbag like that...I guess we'll never know. :sigh:

It was a junior high school. And it was just "Musk Junior High", so we are free to imagine it was named after someone actually worthy.

Lorca mentioned Elon by name, but Lorca was from the mirror universe, and Musk would have fit in great there, so Mirror-Musk would be more likely to be revered by the 23rd century...

(And the real world explanation is that the reference was made before Musk really started to go off the deep end, so his true self wasn't well known to the general public at the time.)
 
We had a slightly scary moment while we were out walking the dogs this morning. It was still kind of dark when started, and while Gracie (my avatar) was sniffing a bush, I heard it started the rustle. At first I had just assumed it was her, but then I noticed she was not actually touching the bush, and our other dog Tucker was nowhere near it. At that point we pulled the dogs back and walked very quickly away from the bush. Whatever it was was big, the whole bush was rustling, so it was probably either a cat or coyote.
 
To be fair to Discovery, I'm pretty sure that reference was written back when people loved him and thought he was the new genius inventor. I don't think people really started to realize just how much scumbag and nut job he was until more recently.
 
I prefer Avery Brooks as Hawk. I’ve been binge watching Spenser for Hire, and Hawk is a great character.
My favorite scene with him... Hawk is guarding a patient while dressed as a doctor. When a malefactor comes to inject the patient and make his death look accidental, Hawk surprises him and he flees. A bystander warns him: "Doctor, that man has a gun."

Hawk just pulls his monster .357 and responds: "It's Ok. Mine's bigger."

‐------------

The old saw is "you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands". But since human bodies take time to cool, and the black helicopter crew are going to gather any fallen weapons quickly, they'll probably be prying it from your warm, dead hands. Just sayin'.

Watching the latest DS9 documentary, I get the impression that the writers really wanted Hawk as the guy running the station. But the network pushed back. They had to fight for facial hair, which is ridiculous.
 
Avery Brooks had to. Bald and goatee was his preferred look, and I don't blame him. I pretty much hate the shaved head look, but Mr. Brooks rocked it.

It’s good to watch a Man Called Hawk again. Found it on TUBI. No DVD release.
