Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

STFU, you're going to make this a challenge for the orange one to put more of his face everywhere thinking it's "beautiful"

A face so beautiful only a mother could love it

This pic reminds me of Capt Pike from the Star Trek pilot.

That character is from the initially-unaired pilot ("The Cage"), but that shot (and actor) is from "The Menagerie" - a 2-part episode from the first season that re-used scenes from The Cage as flashbacks.

They had Pike injured and in the wheelchair so they could use makeup and the "beep" communications to disguise the fact that the actor playing him was different in the newly-filmed scenes versus those from the flashbacks.

Thx, did not know that. Always nice to find out something new about Trek.

Why is the orange child rapist wearing earrings?
