You know, after watching Nemesis and Picard I think Olmos would have made more sense as Picard and Stewart would have been a better Adama.

I could see Patrick Stuart saying "ZOOM IN ON THE COCK" like Olmos did when filming the movie.

Also Adama would have been the one to hook up with Six in the final season instead of Tigh.

I can't hate Time's Arrow because it has Brent Spiner playing Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream and I will forever love that and David Xanatos I mean Riker, talking to Titania.

Patrick Stewart beating a cylon to death with a flashlight would require a lot more suspension of disbelief than watching EJO do it.

Similarly, EJO wouldn't need Kirk's help in slapping down Soren.

Change a few lines and this is Adama talking about the Cylons and his experience in the last war.

I watched this a few days ago but keep forgetting to post. Just one more TOS episode left....

All Our Yesterdays- What a strange episode. It's the only one of the entire series that takes place completely off of the Enterprise. We're very quickly shoved into this situation where people on a planet in a solar system that is about to go nova are fleeing to the past history of their planet to escape (which is a decent concept). However, what we actually get is disappointing. Only two time periods are shown, one being some kind of Spanish Inquisition era where Kirk gets branded a witch and is going to be executed for witchcraft. The other is the one we spend more time in, which is the planet's ice age with Spock, McCoy, and the female lead of the episode. It's really not at all explained, but apparently by going back 5000 years into the past, Spock starts to 'devolve' into an ancient warlike Vulcan. McCoy is not affected in the same way, which is also never explained. When the three of them first go back into the past, somehow they can communicate with each other even though they are in different time periods? For an episode with a good concept, it's just not very interesting. They never really learn much about the planet before they have to flee from the supernova. Spock spends a lot of the episode being an rear end in a top hat which is magically cured when he returns to the present.

Starfleet won't let me--a woman--captain a starship, so I'm going to steal my old friend Jim Kirk's body and use his penis to prove that women can totally be captains too. Oh no I've gone crazy because women can't handle real power. [SHOW CANCELLED]

It is a little known fact that starships require the Captain to physically insert his penis into the ignition chamber to start the warp reaction in Spacedock.

I just got through Code of Honour. The main plot's not super great but there's still lots of nice interactions between the crew, like the French being a dead language and this is becoming a speech scenes, and that's really what I'm watching the show for.

90’s Trek intro quality is always the inverse of the show’s actual quality.

TNG: the middle ground, solid show solid intro
DS9: boring rear end intro that got worse when they changed it up, great show that got better when they changed it up
Voyager: S-tier intro, D-tier show

Then, every post-2001 series has an intro that mirrors the shows themselves.

Enterprise: there’s good-to-great stuff in there but someone let a milquetoast TV exec make the important choices
Discovery: sounds good at first, but then you realize it never finds a central theme and just meanders around
Picard: starts strong, good nuggets buried in there, but ultimately it’s another mess
Lower Decks: oh man have you heard STAR TREK MUSIC before because this poo poo is some STAR TREK rear end MUSIC and also here’s some weak jokes
Orville: hey guys I would also like to be a STAR TREK and maybe a GALAXY QUEST too for good measure

So really, every intro is perfect.
