I was going to ask if the script for this still exists, but then I realized that's just the Bible

Star Trek: The Animated Series looks like it should be a terrible cheap schlocky mess ... but it actually has some pretty amazing writing and acting. So, why is it so much better than it needed to be? We get into it in this week's bonus video: www.patreon.com/posts/130911...

I always loved Lwaxana. Thanks for this video @mattbaume.bsky.social. It's great to see myself credited as a Patron. All of you followers need to support Matt. Characters like Lwaxana are mother figures to many of us giving needed guidance. As my mother left us in 2023 this is important.

My neighborhood bookstore! Go there! Right now (well, in an hour)! It’s conveniently located right next to a train station and the cafe is grand.

I don't know anyone other than @televisionaryzw.bsky.social who's looking for Barney Miller hot takes in 2025 but I think the show missed an opportunity by not having Wojo be bisexual

One of my favorite Will & Grace episodes -- here's the show making a not-at-all-subtle jab at their own network's reluctance to show any sort of same-sex physical affection:

Hey Seattle, if you enjoy Bea Arthur making snide remarks about homosexuality, come join me this Sunday at the Northgate Barnes & Noble! I'll be hanging out, signing books, and showing some of my very favorite gay sitcom moments, of which about 73% involve at least one Golden Girl

My favorite thing about this image is that it's such powerful gay nerd representation. Look at those socks! And is that a pocket protector???

Kind of a cautionary tale here -- some of Brokeback Mountain's Oscars ads downplayed the gay angle, presumably to be more palatable to Academy voters, but it lost anyway. (Anne Hathaway wasn't even nominated!) I wonder if it would've done better if the ads were more up-front.

Seattle peeps, go and see Matt Baume. Hosted by my former coworkers at Barnes And Noble, Northgate. Lovely people, good times.

There are so many good jokes in the Golden Girls episode with Blanche's brother and his boyfriend that it's impossible to pick a favorite, but this one is way up there:

How gay did Gene Roddenberry want to make Star Trek? VERY GAY, with gay officers and romances and even a pansexual orgy. (Yes an ORGY.) So... why didn't it happen? The story's in this week's Patreon bonus video: www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...
