I like that it's also a bit of a warning to Rom. "This path is noble, but will likely make you unpopular. Don't let that break you."

"I'm Ferengi and this is deep" :P I do like Quark's observations about the humans stuck on the siege base for 9 months who've gone practically feral due to stress. That's a good moment to show exactly why he doesn't trust humans in a bad situation, because we don't handle stress well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D2SHNqkjbY

I found myself watching an episode of the godawful miserable television series Seven Days, and I'm wondering: How do I recognize this kid...? Well there it is, turns out it was Scarlett Pomers, who played Naomi Wildman on that other show that aired on UPN at the time, Voyager. Seriously though Seven Days is an unfortunate waste of an interesting premise. Just like Voyager.

Timby posted:I mean, every child actor in America auditioned for Anakin. lol yeah every male 12 year old actor in America auditioned to be Anakin Skywalker and every male 12 year old actor in England auditioned to be Harry Potter. Daniel Radcliff's story simply turned out a lot better than Jake Lloyd's but it could have easily gone the other way too. E: God, I wonder what Episode I would have been like if they'd just cast Hayden Christensen to play Anakin Skywalker right from the start because him and Natalie Portman are the same age so they both would have been 16 when filming on the Phantom Menace began in 1997. Would a hopeful but moody young teenage Anakin have gone over better than a little YIPPIE! 12 year old did? I guess we'll never know. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Jul 10, 2023 |

I picture him playing it the way he played Steven Glass in “Shattered Glass” (which is a genuinely good film) Just going around constantly asking people, “Are you mad at me?!”

BBC America showed The Best of Both Worlds this morning. What an rear end-kicker of an episode(s) I’ll never forget when it originally aired, seeing Riker say “Fire!” followed by TO BE CONTINUED and yelling Noooooo! at the TV as I realized I’d have to wait three months to find out what happened.

PatStew hadn't signed his contract and was having one of his "I demand fuckin'n'fightin"-moments and was rumored to walk. For all he knew, he just ordered PatStew's character to be executed.

It has moments (Riker and Guinan, "Sleep, Data," the Wolf 359 graveyard), but Piller wrote himself into a corner because he did a cliffhanger with absolutely no clue of what he was going to do to get out of it. Piller didn't know if he was returning, Stewart wasn't sure he wanted to come back, etc. The Borg "going to sleep" triggering a self-destruct sequence is the most gigantic rear end-pull.

Timby posted:The Borg "going to sleep" triggering a self-destruct sequence is the most gigantic rear end-pull. It kind of is. But I still love these two, and I’d have to put them (as one entry I guess) into my list of top ten all time favorite Trek episodes. I can’t remember if advertising at the time gave away the big Locutus shocker, but if it did, I wasn’t aware of it before watching. It really freaked me out, and grossed me out. Such a horrible violation of body, mind, and spirit. I’m glad they didn’t just immediately go on like it never happened. The next episode, Family, is pretty good too. Think I’m gonna have to pop in the First Contact bluray next. It’s definitely a Borg Day.
