There was an episode of Reading Rainbow where he is on the Star Trek set and is putting on the costume, and my little child brain was completely blown.
I don't think I've watched Reading Rainbow since sometome in the early 90s! When I was in elementary school they used to gather up 2 or 3 classes together in one room and turn the lights off and put on Reading Rainbow and it was one of the best parts of the school week lol
It looks like there are a bunch of episodes on YouTube, but I'm worried if I watch it I will go into nostalgia overload
Levar is now doing a podcast, of short stories for adults.

Wow! Thanks! I have to go out of town today I might listen to this in the car!
It's pretty great. Gives you just enough nostalgia, but with more grown up books. It's amazing.
A big turning point for TNG was when they moved Geordi to head engineering and involved him a lot more. But let's be honest, Geordi's always got one finger on the jettison button...that seems to be an even better "fix" to most things that turning them off and back on.
Reading Rainbow started years before and ended years after Star Trek The Next Generation, completely eclipsing it.
So during TNG, this was every day of his life.
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
