The Star Treks

My favorite part is how well the remote control for Spock's body worked. Not only moving the legs, but keeping his torso up and all those stabilizer muscles needed and all seemingly with two joy sticks and some dials. That McCoy, he knows his stuff.

You know for all its faults that episode has at least two things going for it--it's fun, and the characters are all in character
(Now don't get me started on out of character moments in The Way to Eden)

Are you talking about Spock digging the groovy tunes and philosophy of the space hippies?

I'm talking about almost the entire script--dialogue, actions, etc, just about everything.
The original idea was a good one--but they butchered it.

I liked Spock's Brain. I know it wasn't a well received episode, but there are some good lines in it. And it inspired a great prog band.

Bummer news. I grew up watching the original series. Role model and many firsts in her life. Fare thee well beyond the stars.

They're all getting up there, but still sad for her loved ones.
And the fans too.
One by one those who entertained us and more leave this world.

Condolences to her family & friends...

Very sad indeed. I'm getting to the age where I'm losing all of my childhood hero's. The Shat keeps plugging along, he is still trying to muscle his way into New Trek for an appearance. I don't know how they would work it in, but I would like to see him get it as a last send off.

Play an ancestor or descendant--depending on the time period?

Play an ancestor or descendant--depending on the time period?

If he had a cameo or storyline in STSNW or STD it would have to be ancestor. Time travel having already been used, I can't see STSNW doing it again in season 2.

Since Picard is going to be a vehicle to revisit and send off STTNG, he could play a descendant....

On STD, they could do the alternate universe again and run into the evil James T. Kirk, maybe as a second in command under the emperor. Maybe even do battle with the evil alternate universe President of Earth. That would be a cool send off.

EDIT: That last paragraph is a better story line than any story line STD had for the entire last season.....YMMV, IMO, etc.

I’d like to see Shatner worked in there one final time, if it can be done in a way that makes sense.

Kirk is dead and buried under some rocks on Veridian 3. But I suppose they'll come up with something.

So last night, we watched the series finale of Deep Space Nine. We watched every episode from start to finish in the series over the past several months. I have to say, this is now my favorite spin-off. Great series.

I remember when it first aired, I thought I wouldn’t like it (they’re not on a ship travelling to new places, so I thought it would get boring fast). But it became one of my favourite ST series, because it had a great cast with great writers and obviously wanted to try something different.
