I remember years ago there was an article that made the rounds, and it basically said (I think it might even have been the title) "Star Wars fans hate Star Wars." It was a little cheeky and reductive, as I recall, but not devoid of insight.


I realized some time ago that while it would be easy for me to say something similar about Star Trek, it's not really true. Because I don't hate Star Trek; yeah sure I think a lot of the material is dogshit, but at the end of the day I still really dig that old-time space opera.


It's the idiot writers I hate. gently caress those guys.

Do you think any of the Borg that are around in Trek times are really Borg? I mean, their whole method of reproduction is via assimilation (except for in Q Who?, where there were incubators for Borg babies), and their cubes seem to explode a lot, so how many originals could there be left?

I didn't mean the Borg Queen was an original Borg either. She;s from Species 125, which means she's almost certainly a delta quadrant species and not a Federation scientist.

It was maybe a Trek book that played around with the idea that the Borg originated as a technological virus that eventually integrated organic lifeforms to achieve total perfection.

Borg/ Ferengi fan service was the worst on Enterprise. But the original Xindi sucked too. I remember reading an interview saying that if the producers had to do it all over again they'd hire a new set of writers instead of importing them from Voyager.

I actually didn't mind the Xindi arc, just because it felt so different than anything Trek had done. Also, I watched it all over the course of a week instead of the course of a season, so maybe that made it more tolerable.

I did hate Archer from the beginning, though.

The worst part of the Enterprise theme song was that the title sequence was pretty cool and just ruined by that song.

The opening visuals were cool, but they couldn't resist showing The Enterprise test Space Shuttle, which only had that name because TOS existed, so :aaaaa:.

She was a huge draw and worked on TV non-stop in the pre-intenet porn era of television as her looks were pretty much off the charts for what sold in that time period.

Then she married comedian Jay Mohr, got less work or wanted less work, and seemed to suffer from the looming specter of old age and the obvious downsides of being with Jay Mohr 24/7 so she had a very bad run of what might have been some fairly pioneering plastic surgery techniques for reasons that were only her own and did not come out better for it.

Which sadly caused her to entirely miss out on the "milf" craze that would have seen her be one of the most in-demand & celebrated tv actresses had she left her face alone and aged gracefully.

Sorry you got a glimpse into the horrific mental rolodex of actress-chat that came about from having a life lived before the internet and growing up watching first run TNG in the hopes of seeing babes in what was often the only venue available to do that in.
