Somewhere between the movies and TNG, Starfleet replaced the Kobayashi Maru scenario with the "Kill Your Friends" scenario.

Kirk would win be re programming the test so that when he orders Scotty to crawl into the warp coil it reacts with all his whiskey in his blood and turns him into a Scottish version of the hulk.

Legit, though, O'Brien is maybe the only character in the TNG-era trek who feels like a regular bloke, y'know? At least he's got normal people problems, like a wife getting posessed by a space ghost or ...well, okay, he has ridiculous problems but he always seems affable and ordinary, and he drinks beer not whatever synthhol nonsense. He and Bashir actually get legit plastered together in the greatest scene in DS9.

Watched the Farpoint ep on Netflix for the first time since about 2008. I pretty much like everything about it, sorry if you can't enjoy seasons 1 and 2. We'll see about the vaccine. We'll see. Riker on the femme v-neck hairspray planet, well, that's going to be great no matter what.

sinking belle posted:I always wondered what the deal was with the pilot being a mixture of B&W and colour. Like I know the colour bits were the parts they reused for the beeping chair episode but did they lose the original film for the pilot at some point after that or what? You must've seen an old version. They lost the print for a while and had to intercut what they had from The Menagerie with a black and white workprint, but they found the full-colour version in the late 80s.

I only had a black and white TV until the late 80s, but the first time I ever saw The Cage it was in full color. Except for some reason, I remember the opening shot of the Enterprise and the Bridge in black and white. That might have been part of the Frakes hosted documentary in 88 or 89 when they were getting ready to show the full color version for the first time.

Plus him getting called out on massacring villagers in his spare time. Worf is such a perv for his violence and BDSM lifestyle. He had Skull Faced Opponent, that nobody would have minded if he killed by the billions, but no, have to go kill Skull Faced Child and Skull Faced Pregnant Woman and Skull Faced Elderly Double Amputee in Skull Faced Wheelchair so the son of Mogh can get his son of rocks off. gently caress Worf. I'm almost glad Captain Worf will never happen beyond a failed Kickstarter. Better to have a series starring Captain Reg Barkely or Captain Ayala or Mindfucked Space-Starchild But All Old And Gross Now Returning Academy Dropout Wesley "Mrs. Traveller" Crusher.

Of all the TNG alumni, Wil Wheaton is probably the only one who would actually be capable right now of making an independent fan series that didn't suck completely, but thankfully he's also probably the least likely to want to.

Wil Wheaton instinctfully makes my skin crawl. There's just something about his gerbil face...his strange rictus grin...desperate eyes I'm sure he's a nice enough guy but I just find him hard to watch in almost everything he does. I don't even really find Wesley Crusher that annoying so it's not like I dislike him because of that. He does have a very irritatingly smug voice though in real life
