  1. Honestly, Strange New Worlds is my favorite of the new Trek iterations.
    Will have to try this Starbucks foam!

  3. Neve Campbell is also my root! They are crazy for letting her go. Sidney Prescott IS Scream!

  4. I was probably the only teenager who had a crush on Judi Dench and religiously watched “As Time Goes By” on PBS and also own the DVD box set as an adult. So definitely a gay icon in my book lol
