Reminder that the writer of the Naked Now literally had her name taken off the episode because Gene took out her character work and in its place crammed in as much sexy poo poo as the network would let him get away with and she felt it just ended up degrading and he just wanted more sexy sex.

Behr writing Captain's Holiday, meeting with Gene: "He says, 'I like the idea of the pleasure planet and I want it to be a place where you see women fondling and kissing other women, and men hugging and holding hands and kissing, and we can imply that they're having sex in the background.'" Behr was briefly flummoxed on how to politely tell Roddenberry that such scenes would never make it past network censors. "I'm going, 'Oh, man, I'm in the freakin' Twilight Zone.' I go back to Rick. He goes, 'Pft, pay no attention to that, just get the captain laid.'" I mean, kudos to him on the gay part I guess. Although there is a bleak hilarity that even with that he suggested 'women fondling, men holding hands' MikeJF fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Oct 5, 2021 |

There were several times where that episode was almost funny. You could see what the jokes were supposed to be. There was definitely the potential for humour. Didn't quite get there, but you could tell they were trying.

The end credit 'gag' was perfect. This show is great, and the visuals are outstanding. Tho I coulda swore I heard Dorn's voice a couple of times on the Klingon ship, his name wasn't in the credits.

Wee Bairns posted:The end credit 'gag' was perfect. Same with the scenes on the Vulcan ship. The low-ranking Vulcan says something calmly and politely and is reprimanded for her "outburst". We know that Vulcans are known for their stoicism and so we understand that their threshold for what constitutes an "outburst" is much lower. But just showing that doesn't actually rise to the level of being funny. You've set up the premise for a joke but you haven't told the actual joke yet. And they repeated that setup multiple times but the punchline never came. There was no payoff. And the whole episode was like that.

It's not that there's never a punchline, it's that when there is a good punchline the show ruins it by telling you what it is before it does the joke. See: the end of episode 1 where everyone is telling Mariner that Boimler is having the time of his live and laying it thick and the joke is obviously that he's not enjoying himself and then they just show you that. Or the Doopler thing where we are told that the joke is that he duplicates when embarrassed, and then he does. Humour being personally subjective and all that, I'd be astonished if anyone claimed they were genuinely surprised by a LDS laugh line.

It was a fun episode in a high-concept way, even if it was lighter on the jokes -- it was enjoyable to pull back from the Cerritos a bit and see that there are Klingon Boimlers and Vulcan Mariners out there, and it pushed the series' overall plot forwards in an interesting way and (apparently) sets up at least one new main or recurring character with an intriguing hook.

I did like the way it initially felt like they were doing a Family-Guy cutaway gag but then halfway through the episode started wrapping the storylines together. (that's also what the end-credits gag was missing - it should have had the 'collective voice say something like "Spacial anomaly detected at grid reference xxx-xxx, do thing" and then absolutely nothing happens with the drones because that's not how a borg cube works. Just a little bit of a tie-in to call back to the events of the story rather than being an actual Family-guy cutaway).

Lord these threads attract a very specific kind of lovely posting Great, great episode. LOL'd every time they showed another ship punitive spiritualism  Red alert sending everyone out into the corridors in all sorts of costumes was great Even moved the main plot along quite a but using viewpoints we wouldn't normally get and tied it into the main gag of the ep. Top notch MikeJF posted:Oh my god, the Klingon Opera was the Gargoyles theme song. For the first 6 notes at least. I replayed it several times because my brain knew it was something. The Expanse? no. Game of Thrones? no. GARGOYLES wtf
