Behind the scenes of Star Trek Beyond (2016)
Just coming up to the tenth anniversary of Beyond! Here is a commission I recently completed. Triumvirate ✨ Timelapse here!
Good old Wikipedia, with a massive article about the clusterfuck that has been Paramount's attempts to get another Star Trek movie made after 2016's Star Trek Beyond
Things you can do to celebrate Captain Kirk's birthday this weekend:
Drive a car really badly
Break a rule at work you disagree with
Fall madly in love with your science officer
Challenge someone to chess
Yell your nemesis' name really loud and dramatically
Call your vehicle / mode of transportation a beautiful lady and tell folks that you love her
Fight someone like this:
Happy Birthday, Anton! Missing you still <3
Save a horse, ride a Karl
which one would you pick first? 😋
bonus question - which two together? 🥹

I spoke with a friend in Minneapolis a few days ago. She confirmed a lot of what is described below.
Please share
Minneapolis Minnesota
The following text is being shared, and the writer is asking for it to be spread far and wide. It’s a much longer and more detailed description of what’s going on. The good, the bad, the ugly.
“Friends outside MN, you need to know what is happening here. Everyone knows that ICE shot and killed a woman here on Wednesday. But that’s not the only thing that’s going on:
- ICE agents are cruising areas with immigrant-owned businesses, and kidnapping patrons and employees alike. Yesterday they abducted two US citizen employees at a suburban Target, one who was begging them to allow him to go get his passport to show them.
- ICE is going door to door in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, asking residents where their immigrant neighbors live. Read that again. If it sounds like something out of your high school history textbook, that’s because it is.
- ICE is targeting schools and school buses. They pepper sprayed teenagers and abducted two school staff members at the high school up the street from me on Weds. Police are literally escorting school buses to ensure children can get to school and home safely. The Minneapolis Public Schools have moved to virtual learning for the next 4 weeks because it’s unsafe for children or teachers to physically come to school.
- They are targeting hospitals and clinics. Patients are scared and are canceling their appointments or just not showing up. Kids are missing their checkups and vaccines, folks aren’t getting their cancer care, etc.
- They are smashing windows in cars and homes.
- ICE is increasingly picking up Native Americans—again, targeting folks based on skin color alone.
- They are arresting and beating legal observers. A friend of a friend had her arm broken yesterday. Folks are showing up at local hospitals, brought in in ICE custody, with severe injuries that are absolutely inconsistent with mechanism of injury reported by ICE. (Think: patient appears to have been beaten unconscious, while ICE agent says he slipped and fell.)
I can’t emphasize enough that these ICE agents do not have warrants. There are 2,000+ agents here and they are simply hunting for anyone that’s not white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or a green card holder, they will kidnap you first and ask questions later.
But the community is fighting back.
- Protests are happening every day.
- Community groups have been leading know-your-rights sessions for months, often to packed venues.
- Whistles are being distributed by the thousands, carried on keychains and worn on coat zippers, always at the ready to be blown in warning if ICE is spotted.
- Drivers are following ICE vehicles, blaring their horns in warning.
- Businesses are locking their doors even while open to keep employees and customers safe. As I type this, I’m standing guard at the locked door of our neighborhood burrito joint while I wait for my takeout order, so the employees can focus on their jobs. The place is packed with neighbors supporting this small business.
- Anti-ICE signs are posted everywhere. The community is making it crystal clear that ICE is not welcome here.
- Parents and neighbors are standing guard outside schools, organizing carpools, and escorting kids to and from school on foot.
- Parents of kids in Spanish-immersion daycare (there are a LOT of these daycares here!) are keeping their kids home so the teachers don’t have to take the risk of coming to work.
- Churches and community groups are holding fundraisers to buy and deliver groceries to families who don’t feel safe leaving home.
- Mutual aid money is going out to folks who can’t make rent because they can’t work or because a breadwinner was abducted, or who need a warm place to stay after their home’s windows were smashed.
THAT is what is happening here. This fight is ongoing and it’s horrifying to watch. But we are not backing down. To my friends in other cities and states, don’t think for a minute that this won’t happen in your town. It will. Be ready. Learn from us, as we have learned from Portland and Chicago and New York. Fight back. Don’t let us get to the last line of Martin Niemoller’s poem.”
We should, err... we should sit down. There's something I need to talk to you about.
I just want to say one thing. I'm disappointed but not all that surprised that they're not doing AOS 4. I really wanted it because I wanted a solid 3 movies in that series. Instead, I have 09, Beyond, and that trash fire that was ID that you'd have to pay me to watch again.
And I just don't see an all-New Trek movie with no recognizable characters drawing in big crowds. Even with established characters, Trek has always kind of struggled at the box office. Now the average movie goer who is not a Trek fan can't even say 'oh hey there's Spock.'
I don't think this is going to do well. They should have just gone with AOS 4 on a smaller budget. You don't have to make it huge. You can tell a good sci-fi story without big set pieces and lots of explosions.
I'm grumpy. I want Chris and Karl back.
