Yah it’s good Big Mean Jerk posted:I can only assume this was their version of a Star Trek machete order, but it’s not like watching Enterprise after TOS is going to give you any additional insight into either. If anything it’ll give you less because now all the TNG callbacks won’t make any sense. If the second Trek show I ever watched was Enterprise, I’d certainly take a machete to something.

The only reason I can think of for following a list is if someone new to Trek wants to hit DS9 specifically on a recommendation or something and asks for a little extra worldbuilding context first. A couple friends of mine actually did this last year and enjoyed it a lot. This could probably be done in less than ten TNG episodes as long as you've got the Cardassian stuff, the Klingon arc, and maybe Best of Both Worlds just for Sisko's backstory, so it's not much of a watch order. I'm not sure if anything from TOS matters as much since most of that is minor (Kor) or gets fully re-explained (the Mirror junk.)

Dick Miller died today. It's a good thing he didn't live to see the time period he portrayed. 2024. We still have time. https://twitter.com/IraStevenBehr/status/1090790165528772608

No! He was half of the "Rock'n'Roll High School" actors to appear in the "Past Tense" two-parter!  Seriously, though, to paraphrase Sir Patrick, there was a guy who had seen everything. He'd seen it all. 182 acting credits across sixty years.

Far Beyond the Stars is frickin’ great, yeah. Tears me up every time I watch it. Avery Brooks is one hell of a director.

Astroman posted:It's not bad, but it's hard to top perfection. For me, Stealing the Enterprise is probably the best part of III and the 3rd best Horner behind TWOK Titles and Mutara Nebula Battle. Part of it for me is the novelty, there's acres of alternate recordings of the Wrath of Khan opener or the TV theme, but that's the first time I've heard a different take on that particular cue.

God yes, I love TWOK soundtrack, and I love how The Orville's new composer is channeling Horner's ghost. They do this thing at the Sony Center in Toronto where they play a movie with a live orchestra doing the soundtrack, and I'd kill for them to do TWOK.

Note that the Orville's intro is borrowing far more from Voyager than any other series. edit: Geekboy posted:For real.

I have enjoyed the Orville, but it’s like uncanny valley Trek for me. I really want the alternate universe where Seth MacFarlane just took over the franchise.

Sure, it's a little bit of a commitment, but only for a while. And hey, even if it all goes bad, you'll have an interesting story to tell when it's all over.

There's a house on a nearby block that has one of those hanging. I've definitely seen shelves of collectibles through the window. On summer nights there's always at least two couples on the porch having wine. I think I found the Star Trek Swinger House.
