I was looking at attending the closest Star Trek convention just for something to do and just see weirdos dressed like Kirk and poo poo or whatever. While I wasn't expecting any heavy hitters literally the main attraction they had was some dude with like 3-4 uncredited extra roles in TNG lol. He lives like 20 miles away from the convention center incidentally.

STARKANE the premier Spokane Star Trek convention.

edit: I just looked it up again and they replaced him as the main attraction with Walter Koenig!

Isn't Synthehol without any intoxicating effects? That's why Quarks makes mad cash, he has real booze he charges a premium for.

Synthehol started as just "the better future version of alcohol that doesn't leave you hungover and also you can just mentally sober yourself up in case of a red alert or an imminent business deal or something", and then it got dumbed down to "crappy lite beer" or something like that because we're so insecure about our own existence that we're deeply uncomfortable with a setting that suggests things could actually be better, so we need every innovation to have a terrible downside that reassures us that we're actually better off without it.

FYI that's not what dysphasia or any kind of aphasia is really like. If you get broca's like I get before a seizure you just end up saying "Uh," and "Um," and "You know, like, uh," and you keep repeating stock phrases until a few minutes after you stop flopping around like a fish.

Also exterminate all Skreaans, because they're inferior to even bajorans which is laugh out loud hilarious.

Drug induced aphasia can look like it did on the show. Salvia will reduce people to babbling, sometimes in word salad, sometimes in just gibberish.

Season 1 doesn't even have a proper season finale, it just ends after a pretty dull episode 16. I'm amazed it even got a second season.

They just chopped off the end of season 1 and added it to season 2. So the intended season 1 finale is s02e04 if I remember right.

My first and only Star Trek con was in Billings in 1996. Denise Crosby was the big get, and the two fat Bajorans from Trekkies were there. Spokane sounds like a step up.

Did Paris have any family involved with that project? If he did, then technically the lizard babies will be able to carry on Janeway's story about Mars-exploring ancestors for her.

I had a legit milf crush on Kate Mulgrew when Voyager originally aired. She... did not age gracefully. Still nowhere as bad as Kes, though.

The actress that played Kes sort of surprises me that she wasn't doing more voice work after Voyager. She did a few things and she had a recognizable voice that seems like she could have parleyed into a fairly steady career in animation and games.

I remember this. A lot of Star Trek TOS episodes seemed to be based on whatever the studio had laying around that week. That episode might be the most egregious, though.

"We got some Nazi uniforms. Nazi planet!"

The next lot is a 20s ganster set. "While there at lunch, we'll film Gangster Planet!"

Now they're filming a western. "Western Planet!"

We still have those Nazi uniforms... "Nazi time travel!"

We got nothing this week. "They find another Earth! In 1963, no less! gently caress it!"

DS9: We hit the episode where Molly falls through a time portal and comes back as a feral teenager. My wife HATED this episode. Way too heart wrenching for her. We have a young daughter so it was just too close to home I guess. Hooome. *points into portal* She also, as usual, noticed a fashion item - this time it was teenage Molly's haircut which was straight outta the 90s. She said "How did she get her bangs all even like that?" I told her her bangs got in the way of her eyesight when she was hunting so she used some flint and cut straight across.

Also here's my random ST bitch of the day: Why must the crew insist on wearing their uniforms even when they're not on duty? Also this is inconsistent. Occasionally you will see someone in their cabin with some space tshirt but all the drat time they're hanging out in uniforms. Just seems like lazy TV.

It's just so random.

The link I posted says that Rodenberry was literally rewriting the script on location (to make it more believable(!)), so we're actually getting pure, unedited Rodenberry.

It makes a lot more sense now. The whole thing makes a lot more sense.
