Star Trek Meets Downton Abbey


Mr. Spock is no more. Our favorite eye-shadowed Vulcan has passed on to the place where everything is logical. 

I confess, I haven’t thought of Star Trek in many years. In high school, I was a devotee of the original series. In college, I really dug The Next Generation with Patrick Stewart and his sexy bald head.

Nowadays, I’m into Downton Abbey. Season Five has just come to a close and we, the fans, are staring down the barrel of its last year. I have loved every minute of Downton Abbey, just as I did Star Trek all those years ago. That got me wondering how I could enjoy such vastly different dramas. As it turns out, they’re not so different. Read on and see if you agree!







"Beam me up, Scotty!"



"Where's my Jim Beam?!"













To boldly go where no man 
has gone before...

Thomas Barrow in the 1920's....















"I'm a doctor, dammit, 
not a _______!"


"I'm a chauffeur, dammit, not a nobleman. No wait! I'm a nobleman, not a chauffeur. No wait! I'm an American businessman. That's it.... I'm an American businessman."







"She canna' take any more! 
She's gonna blow!"
Edith....pretty much all 
five seasons.




"WARP SPEED!"



The rate at which Mary goes 
through men.











"Captain, we're being hailed!"


Mrs. Hughes and her repeated efforts to pull Carson into the 20th century.



"Fascinating...."



"Fascinating..."

















"Make it so."

"Make it so."
















To explore new life and 
new civilizations...

Bye Tom. Drop us a postcard 
from America! 






"Non interference is the 
prime directive."
"I won't interfere."
(C'mon Isabelle, marry 

Lord Merton already!)




















"Set phasers to stun."
 
Set fashions to stun!




"Live long and prosper."
Live long and prosper, Julian!
Can't wait for your next series!

    I actually saw Seventh-Heaven when we died: you couldn't GET any moe curly, extravagantly-surplus-lush Upstairs when my beautifull, brilliant, bombastic girl passed-away at 17.

    "Those who are wise will shine as brightly as the expanse of the Heavens, and those who have instructed many in uprightousness as bright as stars for all eternity"
