I like how the t-rex has his own stubby arms as well a pair of robotic stubby arms on his cyber-girdle. It's so perfectly stupid.

Oh man, you know the way everyone says watching TNG straight from episode one is a bad idea, I totally understand now, but I'm loving this. How long is everyone but Tasha Yar in skirts for?

Apple Jax posted:I wonder if they let Stewart keep them. Or, if they were sold on auction to some trekkie for a million bucks. I guess the first question is would he have wanted to keep them? If it was made for the show it might not have been built for comfort. That said if it was just something off the shelf I could easily see them not caring if they walked off with the star of the show. William Shatner basically took home a couple of wigs (which were way more expensive than speedo briefs!) and the producers couldn't be bothered to really do anything about it.

Wow cool an hour and a half for space Jellyfish. And the second episode is the drunk gas episode? This is awesome. Edit: Jesus it's been ages since I've seen this one, but it starts off pretty drat morbid. It's like they found Space Station 13. Shoehead fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Nov 17, 2013 |

Up to "Journey's End" on my TNG watch. Hopefully it's a better episode than "The Paradise Syndrome." E: gently caress, Wesley's back this is gonna be rough.

Someone help me out here, I'm trying to figure out the way the writing credits are presented. Story = the actual story, teleplay = the script. Names separated by an & means they worked closely together and an 'and' means the person after the 'and' worked on it alone? Also, is it generally bad news if there's a ton of writing credits for any given episode?

They had to tone down their threat a bit for the game, since they were just about the most powerful non-energy being race we've ever seen in the show and could flip off Voyager like a lightswitch.

Yeah, when people are connected by the & symbol, it means they worked on it together. The word "and" means those people worked on it, but not together. So you could see, saycode:And while a lot of credits on a script can indicate serious issues were had with the script along the way, it doesn't necessarily mean the episode will be bad. It could, for instance, indicate the script had been sitting in the bullpen for years, being rewritten over and over but never used for whatever reason.

That usually does indicate problems though, often because the original script just wasn't strong enough and nobody could quite salvage it or because somebody just won't stop insisting it has a chance. A lot of the problems with Indiana Jones the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (in my opnion) are from Frankenscript issues, where bits and pieces of old drafts that Lucas liked kept getting added to the project over the years until it was nigh impossible to make anything coherent out of it. There are exceptions to every rule, of course, but zillions of writing credits sure is a red flag.

At the same time, a lot of scripts can be handed off amicably, from a writer who turns in solid ideas that need polishing for example.

Oh, for sure. It's a sign that something is coming along really weird. But writing guild rules are a funny thing; your credit goes up and up depending how much you wrote, and if you basically rewrote the whole drat thing from scratch by the end, you may very well end up the only credited writer, so it's not always as clearcut as you might think, especially in a show with a writer's room where the whole staff breaks stories together. Where does one writer end and another begin, you know? Anyway, probably what "story by/teleplay by" indicates is the original script was more or less thrown out by the teleplay author and done over from the original story outline. Both writers get credit, but it's strictly delineated who did what for WGA purposes.

"Hey, there should be an alien bounty hunter" is why David Duchovney's name is on a few X-files scripts.

Like, I've been rocking the commentaries on The Shield and despite episodes being credited to one person, they regularly say in the commentaries "yeah, Kurt wrote all these scenes to do with this rapist" or something similar. You never really can tell from the outside.
