Ah yes, The Trekkie High Holy Days:

protectspock

Threshold Day - January 29th

In honor of an (Emmy-award winning?!) “WTF” inducing episode from Star Trek’s long, colorful history. Guaranteed to make you scream in confusion and ask “Why did no one stop this?” as it boldly goes where no one has ever gone before without so much as a B-plot to give you a moment’s reprieve.

First Contact Day - April 5th

The in-universe holiday celebrating the day that Zephram Cochrane became the first human to achieve warp-1 speed, leading a group of nearby Vulcans to make first contact in Bozeman, Montana.

Captain Picard Day - June 16th

A school event on board the USS Enterprise-D that the ship’s children looked forward to all year and Picard himself dreaded.

Star Trek Day - September 8th

In celebration of the first day that Star Trek aired on television (in the United States… Canadians got it a day earlier) in 1966!

i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)

Yet poor Sean Bean is stuck with the reputation for dying in every movie. Unfair.

Give him time, he still has many years of dying yet to come.

Also there’s the question of density vs quantity. If you make a hundred movies and die in 50, and someone else makes 30 movies and dies in 30, the first one has died more, but the second one has died more often per movie.

It’s the DPM ratio that really counts, IMO.
