Jonathan Frakes keeps asking you to take things

I'm optimistic

My favorite part was how her hair was in a beautiful and much more complicated knot in the premier episode, then it was a mangled mess after Voyager was thrown to the Delta Quadrant, but they make a show of her fixing it into the simpler knot with her bare hands while walking the corridors from one disaster to another.

Janeway commands, and her hair obeys.

I swear this was funny when I thought of it at three in the morning.

I think I've watched this more that some TNG episodes.

This is a real TOSser

Kirk: I'm having trouble hearing lately. Bones: Can you describe the symptoms? Kirk: Homer is a fat guy, and his wife Marge has blue hair.

Resistance is rule (what is this ruleshid Microsoft?)

Description: Microsoft ad with a man on the right doing a hand sign associated with star trek and wearing a white t-shirt and black glasses with thick borders. On the left the text reads white on black " Resistance is futile - get AI-ready with Azure" Blue button says "learn more".

Iron

I'm having trouble finding a movie I caught the ending of on cable TV once upon a time, and never saw again. Does anyone here recognize it?

Modern (~1990s) soldiers (the heroes) are pinned down. They rig explosives for some reason and use the radio to remote detonate them. Something goes wrong, and one of the soldiers takes a walkie talkie and walks towards the explosives, without any cover, to use it to force them to go off. He has to get very close to them. He gets shot repeatedly, and just before being fatally wounded, he yells "Blow!" And the explosives go off.

Additional information:

• On US cable in the mid to late 1990s
• Modern war film, with then-current tech (Desert Storm-era)
• Soldiers are outside in rocky/deserted terrain during the daytime in above the described scene
• walkie-talkie is a military-grade CB brick
• Soldier is a short, young guy who I've seen in a few other movies typecast as a low-ranking soldier or officer of some kind

This just popped up on YouTube, and I thought everyone here would like to see it. It's meaningful to me because I had no idea that Frakes was personally engaged in the fight against pancreatic cancer (because of his late brother). The highlights are:

• Science Fiction is not Frakes' "genre"
• How Frakes' wife (Genie Francis) almost got attacked by a lion when she was a child
• The Riker Maneuver (Frakes is still a little embarrassed)
• Why Riker played the trombone
• How Daniel Frakes died
• PanCAN's Purple Stride Walk (It happened on April 27th. Sorry, this video is a week old. They do have weblinks at the end of the video if you're interested in helping)

...and so are artificial fruit flavors.
