An officer just called another officer a "walking freezer unit" because she didn't immediately gently caress him when he gave her a god-awful pickup line

Jeb! Repetition posted:Huh, showing stills of future episodes to uh... entice me That's actually a shot from a previous episode... which you'll see in a future episode!  I actually really enjoyed Part 1 of "The Menagerie" in my current (very slow) watchthrough. By this point, viewers would have had enough of an idea who Spock was that it must have been a real mindfuck to see him to go around sabotaging everything and committing treason.

The penalty for going to illusion planet is death because it's ability to conjure fantasies is an existential threat to the federation. 70 years later: Hey everyone check out these holodeck!

Jeb! Repetition posted:I'm actually getting absorbed by this conflict TOS has some great highs and entertaining lows. This one isn't really either, but it sets the stage well enough. I'm hoping many of the others also pleasantly surprise you, and I can't wait for you to get to both those and the really bad ones.

Jeb!, I have no right to tell you what you should watch. But considering you just watched and screencapped some stuff from TOS, maybe you should dive right into Move Along Home on DS9?

Jeb! Repetition posted:Watching Where No Man Has Gone Before. A vessel that's been missing for over two centuries? It better not be something they sent to space in the 60s with a frozen modern day human inside Important thing to keep in mind about TOS, especially first season TOS, is that a lot of the background trivia hadn't been firmly established yet. Depending on who was writing the episode, TOS was set as little as two hundred years in the future or as much as nine hundred years in the future.

Season 3 is pretty rough though. It usually remains entertaining on a basic level, but they definitely get into a few ruts when they've run out of good ideas.

Jeb! Repetition posted:The idea of a human, with all their frailties, gaining godlike power without equally godlike morality is existentially terrifying By comparison to Gary, Q was incredibly moral, even before getting spanked by the Continuum. He never actually just outright killed anyone, or blew up a ship, or permanently altered someone without getting their consent in some manner first. He did put them in danger at times, particularly in Q Who, he did put them on trial and force them to account for themselves and prove themselves worthy of existence, he did have pig-men stab them with bayonets...but not permanently. Gary just straight up killed people and wanted to kill everyone and turned whatsername into another mutant and so forth. For no reason, other than 'well, I can now, and I feel like it', even before he knew Spock had convinced Kirk to mutiny him (in case he did all that stuff).

TBF, even in "The Cage" they talk about weaponizing it to make people push the wrong buttons and blow up the ship. Subtle uses, like tricorder readings, are the most dangerous. (And the cheapest to show.)

Where No Man Has Gone Before is a classic, and despite its rough edges (being the 2nd pilot episode), it holds up well.

The moral of Star Trek is that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and probably in under 10 minutes.

TOS as a whole is a good show, definitely not unwatchable. Some individual episodes are unwatchable, though. Actually probably just The Alternative Factor.

I don't think Gary actually turned her, I think it just took her longer to turn because her ESP score wasn't as high. GOD WHY DOES THIS poo poo STICK IN MY BRAIN

It's Star Trek tradition that you can basically get away with breaking whatever rules and orders you want if you think it's The Right Thing To Do.
