With another week comes another batch,

There's great consistency with this DVD release:
Picture and sound quality are great as always, along with some really nice extras.

In other news, SFXB Forum has been patched to 3.3.19, which contains quite a lot of vulnerability fixes.

Star Fleet Synthwave Tribute Song

I meant to share this long ago but things kept distracting me.
It was Dan H who put me onto this:
X-Bomber (Star Fleet / Bomber X) 🚀🌌 Synthwave Tribute Song - YouTube

It's an AI song about Star Fleet, that is actually very nice and catchy.

One thing I like about it is the chorus:

We are the heroes of the Star Fleet crew
Flying so high, breaking on through

I found myself humming it the other day and I feel like this song is just as easily about all the people - nomatter how they're doing it - that're keeping Star Fleet and the memory of a really cracking little TV show alive - even 40+ years down the line.

Four episodes per week is a nice pace for watching Star Fleet.

We didn't turn out quitters at the academy. It's gonna be OK.

Makara by Phil Base

Expand Image

Dan H was kind enough to send me some AI images done by Phil Base, based on the UK Look-In comic.
I've added these to the appropriate folder on the site and I made a few adjustments where the program hadn't delivered the expected result with Makara's alien implant while Dan got the eye looking at the viewer.

You can get a nice glow effect in photoshop if you duplicate a layer, set the duplicate to additive blend or similar, and give it a gaussian blur. I thought a 10-pixel radius looked about right.

So, a team effort all-round by Phil, Dan, Mike Noble and others.
