Scanning through listings on Tubi, noticed that 2000 remake of "On The Beach". So you know the drill.
I don't check that website every day and it's been weeks at least since I last checked it. Tonight, for the first time in a long time, I decided to check
The idea is to examine my original work code-pattern for details that are compelling to me. And Nereid is a compelling topic for my blog-posts in the past.
I have it paused now just after they "Shanghai" that Dr. scientist guy
"Who the fuck are you?". That's what I said. A few days ago. Something oddly familiar from thoughts of an extensive line of thoughts in my conscious mind a few days ago that is eerily similar
Nothing about this video is familiar to me. Except that I feel certain I had seen it when it premiered or soon after. I recognized that actor who is the commander of the submarine and I knew he was the starring character. Very possibly I saw it and forgot it. Tubi has it listed at more than 3 hours
From 5/28/2000 ( ) To 3/16/2024 ( Today , Saturday ) is 8693 days

Makes me think of that scene in "Fast Times" where "Linda," in his fantasy, tells "Brad" that she always thought he was cute.

"Metamorphosis" [ Star Trek ]
Original Airdate: Nov 10, 1967
KIRK: You already know as much as we do, Miss Hedford. Whatever that thing is outside, it's yanked us off course from the Enterprise.
SPOCK: Now on course nine eight mark one two, heading directly toward Gamma Canaris region.
MCCOY: Jim, we've got to get Miss Hedford to the Enterprise. Her condition.
KIRK: I know, Bones, but there's nothing I can do about it.
NANCY: I insist you make your scheduled rendezvous with the Enterprise.
KIRK: Miss Hedford, we'll do what we can, when we can. At the moment, we're helpless. You might as well sit back and enjoy the ride.

As I was writing about my memories of Phoebe at Camp Couchdale, I was thinking about this scene from "2001." I was writing a while back about how she told me to never forget that dance where we first met.
by me, Kerry Burgess: Journal May 27, 2006
They lined up all the girls at the start of the dance and told me to pick who I wanted to dance with. I still remember thinking about how she just seemed the right choice.

KIRK: Mister Cochrane. We were forced off our course and taken here by some force we couldn't identify.
SPOCK: Which seems to be on the surface of this body at the moment.
COCHRANE: Well, I wouldn't know anything about that.
SPOCK: You say we'll be unable to get the ship to function again?
COCHRANE: Not a chance. There's some sort of damping field down here. Power systems don't work. Take my word for it.
SPOCK: You don't mind if we continue to try?
COCHRANE: Go right ahead. You've got plenty of time.
KIRK: What about you, Cochrane? How did you get here?
COCHRANE: Marooned, I told you. Look, we'll have lots of time to learn about each other. I have a small place over that way. All the comforts of home. I can even offer you a hot bath.
NANCY: How perceptive of you to notice I needed one.
KIRK: If you don't mind, Mister Cochrane, I'd like more than just a statement that you were marooned here. It's a long way off the beaten path.
COCHRANE: That's right. That's why I'm so glad to see you. Look, I'll tell you everything you want to know, but not here. Your ship is sure a beauty.
KIRK: Yes, she is. And you've been out of circulation quite a while. The principles may be new to you. Mister Spock, why don't you explain our methods of propulsion to Mister Cochrane?
(Spock and Cochrane go to the other side of the shuttlecraft.)
MCCOY: Talks a lot, but he doesn't say much.
KIRK: I've noticed something else.
MCCOY: What's that?
KIRK: He looks familiar.
MCCOY: Familiar? Now that you mention it, he does.
KIRK: I can't quite place him, but. What about Miss Hedford?
MCCOY: No temperature yet, but we've got to get under way soon, Jim. I guarantee you, it will develop.
