DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


Embarking on what will likely be a several year task of rewatching all things Trek. Hey, I got all these complete season blu-ray and dvd box sets for like $15 or $20 each for Prime Day this past year.

One thing I've noticed about TOS is that the captain's log entries clearly happen AFTER the fact since they give information that they don't actually know at the time. They got away from that in TNG when they were usually just stating what was happening at the time.

"Captain's Log. We are under attack by Klingons. Meanwhile, the alien being known as Mar-tu is holding my ship hostage, threatening to destroy us unless we take him to the Hobus Array....a demand with which I cannot comply, because, it he gets to the Array, he will use it to enslave the galaxy.

Meanwhile, instead of dealing with either of these things, I am dictating the ship's log, which is really not the best use of my time, to be honest.

Captains log. During an away mission on Kaled V, I was ambushed by several political dissidents and took a disruptor blast directly to my chest. Despite the efforts of our chief medical officer, I died on the operating table at 0800 hours. This will be my final entry.

I watched the first episode of TNG season 2 and wtf. Deanna Troi gets raped by some kind of light, gives birth to the light posing as her fast aging child, and then it flies away. Only Worf seems to think anything is wrong with this. I don't think this episode could be made in 2019.

At least she didn't fall in love with and marry the fast-ageing child and leave the show.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Captain's log, stardate 49364.2

Commander Data has, once again, gained emotions and is currently holding the Enterprise hostage, demanding all 5,678 personnel praise his cat, Spot XIII. This is the sixth time in as many months. He refuses to acknowledge the reduced crew numbers due to our recent catastrophic encounter with the Ark'besh, nor does he accept that Commander Worf is no longer posted to the Enterprise. I have sent an emergency message to Deep Space Nine, requesting Mr. Worf be allowed a furlough from his duties to return here to lavish unwarranted praise upon the parasitic feline. Unfortunately, the Defiant is on a mission to the Gamma Quadrant, so we must abide this act of terrorism until their return.

It’s biggest sin is its blandness. So many episodes are irrelevant and I would struggle to remember.

It also has fewer strong main characters compared to its predecessors. Most Doctor-centric episodes are good, but can you remember a single one centered around Harry? Probably not.

The one where he gets an STD.

Uhhh... uhhh... Well I got one.

Yeah, welcome to the Writer's Strike season. That episode was recycled from a script that had been written for Star Trek Phase 2, a show featuring Kirk & co that was in development in the 70's that never materialized.


So, Kirk gets raped by some kind of light, gives birth to the light posing as his fast aging child, and then it flies away. Only Scotty seems to think anything is wrong with this?

Ilya, but yes. The other new character created for Phase II was Xon, the Vulcan science officer. (Paramount and Nimoy were fighting over merchandising revenues).
