The Star Treks

[mapleglo]

Yeah, Discovery was terrible. We barely managed to get through it. The only good that came out of it was Strange New Worlds. Though I know a lot of people don't like it.

Strange New Worlds is the best of the worst. I still don't like how they talk like it's the 21st century. I don't like the way the ship looks. I hate the way that guy does Spock. Kirk is no good. Pike is fine. He's handsome and charming and that goes a long way.

Last night was the original Star Trek that had Teri Garr in it. I couldn't remember the episode when she died. But she had a decent part as a secretary that was really very smart. And of course very cute!!!!!

I love that Alfred E. Neuman is a redshirt, lol

I think it’s more to balance out Kirk and Spock, but yeah it is still amusing.

As far as I'm concerned, both Star Trek and Star Wars died ignominious deaths, twitching their last covered in festering sores and a putrid stench in a dank pop-cultural sewer, when a Hollywood cabal with more cocaine than brains decided JJ Abrams was the answer to every single "sci-fi" question anyone could ever ask. The invisible flush handle was pressed right there and then, with the swirl around the bowl spanning a decade and a half, finally - nay, hopefully - reaching its chaotic, gurgling conclusion at the bottom with this latest mess. May it all disappear swiftly, with a nary a hint of a clog to keep it lingering around any longer than necessary. I'm sick to death of being offered the stench of these noisy turds as a "legacy" of the original.

I'm not a rose-lens, backward-gazing idealist; TOS, TNG, VOY et al were not 100% perfect by any means, but even with the occasional foible or blunder, they were still better than anything in the "reboot" era.

Ah..you speak my language....and nary a word would I change! Bravo Winslow! Bravo

Anyone see “Friday’s Child” recently? It’s one I haven’t seen in years and watched last night. It’s a weeeiird episode. Strange dialogue and facial expressions from the actors. McCoy smacks pregnant Julie Newmar. Very odd episode. I don’t know what was happening during filming but something was going on. Either everyone was angry or stoned. Not sure.

I guess if you're a planet of super-badass warrior types, you can wear pastel leotards wrapped in feather boas, give everyone blonde up-do ponytails, and no one will laugh at you.

On the other hand, Julie Newmar, so...

But yeah, that one, and the one with Marvin Belli in a floral shower curtain are indeed a couple of TOS turkeys.

Two of my least favorite episodes.
