More shows should take the hint from Scrubs. "I'm no super man" then the show starts. Could seriously do without 1:30 of Bullshit every episode. First episode of a season sure. Or things like that cool Enterprise mirror universe opening. That might be the best thing in enterprise. Edit: and the Simpsons have had intro gags for 30 years. If you want me to watch it, make it different. Hire a guy to render the ship going past different planets and phenomenon and stuff. Thrones has places on the map changing. Pre show talk about what's gonna happen that's cool too. The General fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Jul 31, 2016 |

Given a sample size of one for sapient species I'm going to go out on a limb and say aliens would look exactly like us except for nose or head ridges.

Also shouldn't that lady have just collapsed in on herself, like when you take a shallow water fish down to deep sea levels? Or at least just laid on the floor leaking fluids?

It could be just a slight difference in gravity, but enough to make her muscles weaker and her bones more brittle than someone who grew up in 1g. Really there ought to be more people like her in Federation, but this is Star Trek and every single planet is 1g with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere and exactly one climate type.

Why didn't they just strap her to Worf's back? They could have done a rousing version of Le Jazz Hot for the promenade when things were slow.

Although if I remember she was a big old whiner anyway, I'm sure she would have found a way to get all put out over that, too. I mean, if I were on an alien world the last thing I'd do it throw a fit when I couldn't find any shoes at Payless that fit my bizarre alien feet.

Do you think they have Depends on the future? If so, are they made out of the same hologram material that the hand towels on TNG were made of, the ones that look like they can't dry anything?

I was visiting my mom and got really bored w/ her so I raided her bookshelf for supernatural erotica and found an Anne rice book about witches and I'm reading it and I kept feeling like I'd heard a similar plot before and suddenly I realized star trek: the next generation totally stole this story when they made sexy Dr crusher have a scottish family gently caress ghost that fucks all the ladies, passed down from generation to the next generation because that's literally the plot of this book: a witch in scotland makes friends with a ghost and fucks it and then it fucks her daughter and her daughter's daughter and all the daughters and even the occasional sexy witch son and I mean what are doctors if not science witches? Anyway great book plenty of good descriptions of ghostcock filling up witchpussy and witchtitties being ghostsucked and good stuff like that would read and j/o all over myself again, same with that TNG episode, seeing bev cum from a ghost was and is a high point of life for child me and manchild me

Oh and I kinda like the goofy new STD ship it's dumb but in a silly way, not an Ent-E way, that thing looked like a fuckin spaceshit not a spaceship IMO, this new STD reminds me of that silly Vulcan IDIC thing gene came up with to make money by selling it on t-shirts or keychains or w/e but no one fuckin cared, not one bit. But I cared.

Tighclops posted:I found a comforter once that looked like something from TNG so I bought it and it would repeatedly just slide right the gently caress off my bed I've seen comforters like that and they're worthless. Seriously people, get a really good comforter, it's a worthy investment. If it weighs less than 40 pounds and contains less than 5 animals it ain't worth jack poo poo. My other half sheared a wingnut a couple of years ago because I spent $600 on a comforter but he shut his mouth when he slept under it, plus it will last forever. My mom never read Anne Rice or anything like that, but when I was 7 I had to do a book report and she gave me a book called "Go Ask Alice", which was a supposedly true (it's not) diary of a 70's drug addict. There was a part about how she was homeless and had to shove dried leaves up her pussy because she didn't have tampons and I was reading it to my friends at school and the teacher recognized the book and took it away forever. I'll never know if Alice got her life together or not.

Didn't someone earlier in the thread share a story that either Anne Rice ghost wrote that episode or they attributed it to her after it aired? Or maybe it was one of those unsolicited submissions that the TNG writing staff allowed. It slipped through because TNG writers don't read Anne Rice.

I loving love that episode. TNG has so many crappy forgettable episodes but there's no forgetting that one. It's so bad you will not forget it. The worst crime is for something to be bad because it's boring, that episode is awesomely terrible.

I went to Memory Alpha and found this: quote:Taylor denied that the story was inspired by Anne Rice's The Witching Hour. She explained, "One of Brannonand my favorite movies is The Innocents, which comes from Henry James' Turn of the Screw. We saw this episode as a homage, and we packed in every sort of Gothic ghost story trick that one could imagine." (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion; Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages) Apropos of nothing, Memory Alpha is one big buggy piece of poo poo anymore. It used to be fine, like 7 years ago. Now it gives my laptop and tablet diarrhea every time I go, and every page takes like 5 minutes to fully load.
