Awesome!

Which led to this sick video:

Clicked for the Trek, stayed for the Pink Floyd and Enigma.

I like the wallflower in the back left who feels the boogie but isn't sure whether he's ready to step out.

That was great fun.

Something about the resolution and frame rate, and the tune itself.... it's perfect.

Guy in the back left is my fave too!

This is terrific.

It honestly looks like Riker and Picard were doing a far better job grooving to this song than they were trying to sync up to a photon blast or something.

It's ALMOST AS IF they should rebrand Star Trek so that it's about a crew of elite corporate executives who are reviewing the masters of forthcoming albums from the bridge of their spaceship.

Spiner always committed 110% to the Turbulence Acting. It’s like he decided, yeah, physics definitely affect my character differently and I’m damn well going to make sure the audience doesn’t forget it.

Star Trek Acid Party

This also is great. Even people within the Star Trek universe must consider the crew of the Enterprise loosely tethered to reality.

Mein Gott, I barely speak enough German to ask for directions, but that (T)raumschiff piece is glorious without understanding a word. The training wheels!

I always mistook myself for someone who was “too cool” for TNG, but on the advice of my husband and my two closest friends, I finally got into it during quarantine.

This is a real treat, and I’m glad it came at the right time for me to be in on the joke.

The Shatnering!
Oh, you want Full Shatnerization? Common People by Pulp, arranged by Joe Jackson and performed by William Shatner (posted the non-Trek version the other day and felt bad, now's my chance).

bonus TOS musical fun:
