Pocket Travels: Solo Transfer
So our train came late and our 10 minutes transfer time turned into maybe 3 minutes. However, in order to make our adventure into the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, we had to make our train to get in before the entry cutoff at 3:30. So me and the other person planning to do this had said we’re getting on no matter what. I sprinted with my luggage and just managed to signal to the conductor to let me on. I was hoping to hold it for the group-10 people. Unfortunately, while she let me in, she would not open the doors again for anyone else. So I’m standing in front of the doors. They’re standing on the platform. And well, suffice to say I’m riding solo to Cardiff.
All things considered, I will likely meet them at the hotel. But I will wait to see Doctor Who things with said friend. Should have time tomorrow. Not particularly panicked. Sort of wish we had a picture of the whole scenario. Particularly of me standing at the door looking out at them as the train left.
On a brighter note, I met a lovely couple from Cape Town visiting their sons in Ludlow. We chatted a bit about travel and life. And the ride has provided such pleasant views. Alone but not lonely.
If I can dream up another hundred or so of these, I might have a book like Vader & Son ;) Maybe call it “Sparks McGee: Mother’s little man”?
Say, while you’re here, why not stop in and donate to my wife’s MS Walk for the Cure:
YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS
Come one, come all to Bill Shatner’s School of Overacting!
Forget subtle, nuanced performances. Those are boring and forgettable. Learn how to say your lines with gusto!
In this course you will learn such techniques as…
- The double fist shake
- The naughty kitten
- The cultural appropriation
- The self bitch slap
- The enthusiastic mime stuck in a box
- The nipple hardener
- The sweaty declaration of self
- The “this wall is amazing”
And many more!
And now my reaction gif collection is complete.
I’m in love with the naughty kitten!

Ever since this happened I’ve been dreaming about Fringe/Star Trek crossovers, to the point of assigning Fringe characters to Starfleet positions. And then I was like WELL WHY NOT JUST PHOTOSHOP IT because I don’t have boundaries. The positions are a little murky because of the constraints of finding screencaps that fit together (which is also why I didn’t include everybody, SORRY), but here are the vague assignments:
- Broyles is captain (and a Vulcan)
- Olivia is first officer
- Atlivia is chief of security, and ideally Lincoln and Charlie would be security with her because having the uniform colors correspond with Blueverse/Redverse/Amberverse is half the fun.
- Astrid is a science officer (technically she might be more suited to communications officer since I feel like a lot of what she does on Fringe is communications/translation type stuff, but I didn’t have anybody else in blue sooooo)
- Alt-Astrid is helmsman
- Peter is chief engineer
- Walter is chief science officer
- Lincoln is navigator/tactical officer
- William Bell is already Spock so whatever
- Nina is probably some Starfleet higher-up or captain of a rival ship idk
Don’t talk to me about confusion arising from having multiple versions of the same person on the bridge, THEY’RE WEARING DIFFERENT COLORS IT’S FINE
