How was he weirdly into it? He was a water polo fan, that's all. Sisko was into a sport nobody played anymore, that's way weirder.

Baseball was probably the lamest game made up for Star Trek. Everyone just stands around while two people play with a stick and a ball. What kind of sport is that?

That's it! I'm done with you guys' bad opinions! I just got me some vintage bad opinions! Hopefully I can find something as gloriously terrible as "Indiana Skywalker Meets the Son of Star Trek" from my Best of the Best of Trek collection. If you don't know that one, it was a post-WoK essay about how terrible that movie was, how incompatible it was with the utopian ideals of the series, how it was all spectacle threatening to turn Star Trek into something as dumb and violent as Star Wars, and heaping praise upon TMP. If I can find the full text online, I'll post a link.

Lord Hydronium posted:Well, weird in the sense that it was a random choice for a sport for someone to be a big fan of. I'm sure water polo fans exist, I've just never met any. Fair point on Sisko. I like that, though. It's not fake like domjot or whatever, and it's not the same sports super popular today. Its goofy volleyball in a pool, and I'm cool with that.

I'm rewatching TNG the for the first time in years and wow season 1 is rough. It's so old fashioned with its musical cues and episode structure, including a scene at the end of several episodes where the bridge crew all laughs together as it fades out to the credits. I haven't watched season 1 or 2 since the show originally aired and it's really jarring. But at least they aren't pulling their shirts down every 5 seconds.

I have TNG on while I work on some things. It took me a few horrible seconds to remember that after Elementary, Dear Data the next episode is the Nutrageous Okona. Season one is bad, but season 2 is wildly uneven.

On over (a set of 6 deliveries from the same bowler) without a scoring shot in them are called maidens for reasons that should be obvious

Another cool TOS moment I liked: the crew was being effected by some weird space anomaly that was affecting their nervous system and making people go crazy. Bones solves the problem by mixing a Klingon nerve agent with pure alcohol to create a drink thats so potent it numbs the brain cells so much they aren't affected by the anomaly. Scotty declares it to be the tightest poo poo ever and walks off with an entire jug of it for his personal stash. I'm watching TAS now and it's also real cool. You can see dirt and hair on the animation frames sometimes which is a good laugh.

Number_6 posted:It's been long enough that I hope we aren't still spoiler-tagging stuff from "Beyond" but... (spoilers ahead ) while I liked the first two-thirds or so, I found the end of Beyond to be a tedious chore. I didn't give one poo poo about the big revelation about Krall's "real background", and watching Kirk and him play Spider-Man superhero-type leaps from building to building was just dreadful. And the final fistfight in the ventilation system was such a letdown I was rooting for the bad guy. I mean, compare that ending to the ending of TMP, TWOK, or even IV or VI and it feels so shallow. Anyway, that's my two-month-late gripe about Beyond. I got the feeling that the original ending was that Krall was going to realize that Kirk showed that the people of Earth were still hard and tough in this Vulcan-snuggling future, and would have kicked Kirk to safety and taken the weapon into space with him to die with honor. I guess that tested poorly, or something? Maybe it would've confused the Chinese.
