The Crew of The China-London USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D
Isn’t it flipping amazing how accurate the entertainment industry is? The CLSA crew are currently undergoing training in space combat and alien diplomacy. If all goes to plan, they’ll be playing Squadron 42 (2026 video game), before you can say “The geological instability is accelerating. My tricorder cannot isolate the source — the entire crust is in flux.” A quote from “Pen Pals” (Season 2, Episode 15), while investigating planet Dream IV.
The How to Get an Exoplanet if Your Old Wealth Manual

Anaconda (25th December 2025 film)
Could this be a modern interpretation of the Midgard Serpent story, a colossal sea serpent in Norse mythology that encircles the entire world and plays a central role in Ragnarök?
The story follows two lifelong friends (played by Jack Black and Paul Rudd) who attempt to remake their favourite childhood movie (Anaconda)—only to encounter a real giant snake in the Amazon.
