Friend is watching ST for the first time and starting with TOS, so I watched the first episode Star Trek Continues. Surprisingly fun once I got past the frequently amateurish acting and slightly nasal voices. Which honestly were way less annoying than I thought they’d be in the end. The guy playing Kirk nails a lot of subtle Kirk/Shatnerisms while not doing a parody or impression on the broad strokes so it’s a lot of fun to see how he’ll react to things.

Thanks to this thread, I’m slowly getting through Avenue 5. Slowly because I deal badly with cringe-based humour, and Ep 5 which I just watched, has been the worst for it so far. I should probably find the thread (assuming there is one).

It's amazing fitting for the show that the set burned down while they still had some filming to do. It also means that season 2 is going to be delayed (even more) because they have to rebuild and that's pretty much impossible right at the moment.

The UK govt has given permission for tv/film production to start again, although how that’s going to work while maintaining social distancing (which the govt also requires) is its own mystery.

More TOS- This Side of Paradise- A good Spock episode. It at least makes clear that yes, Spock is capable of loving someone even if he can’t really show it due to his nature. I’m not really sure why McCoy suddenly sounds like Foghorn Leghorn when affected by the euphoria spores, however. Devil in the Dark- I have seen this several times before but it still holds up well. Errand of Mercy- Another classic episode that I saw years ago. I was surprised how much of the Klingon cultural ideas are already in place. Now granted this is before all of the ‘honorable space Vikings’ of TNG/DS9 so it’s not the modern interpretation. Kirk growing more and more upset at the Organians just chilling out was pretty amusing. City on the Edge of Forever- It’s still a good episode but this rewatch was the first time I realized that a homeless guy accidentally vaporizes himself with McCoy’s hand phaser and this is not brought up at all again in the episode. Operation-Annihilate- Come for the flying pancakes, stay for Shatner playing Kirk’s dead brother with a bad fake wig and mustache in a quick shot Who Mourns for Adonais?- Such a weird episode. The Greek gods are apparently real, the science officer is horny for Apollo, and of course the giant green hand holding the ship in place. The idea of the episode isn’t bad, but I said ‘gently caress off’ when Kirk spends the whole episode saying that humans no longer need gods only to at the very end be like ‘well maybe we do?’. Shut up Kirk.

John Wick of Dogs posted:You gotta cut them some slack and assume the network censors forced in that last "except the one God you know the real one wink wink" There’s an earlier line by Kirk where he says ‘we like the one God just fine thank you’ as well. TOS doesn’t at all deny the idea that there is still religion in the future, but it’s clearly not the mainstream anymore My main issue is that Kirk immediately after meeting Apollo does not buy that this man is an actual god and gets to work on stopping him from keeping them on the planet. But at the very end he seems remorseful for doing what they needed to do to get off the planet despite him being pretty hostile to Apollo the entire episode

I've been consuming a lot of post-TOS, pre-TNG media lately as part of a dumb project I've been working on in my free time the last year or two (reading through licensed fiction in publication order) and it's kinda funny how differently Trek's ideology was interpreted in the pre-TNG days. It's really interesting how TNG did a lot to sorta cement Trek's reputation as a center-left utopian vision. Though of course Discovery and Picard are loving that legacy over in an extremely 2020's way.

I went to the Daystorm Institute Site (ditl.org) just to gently caress around since I haven't been there in ages and saw that the author, Graham Kennedy, died. It was a cool site when I wanted to see the difference between ships and see what fan cannon thought. http://www.ditl.org/ Looks like he passed May 4 but didn't see anything itt around that time.

Aw man, that's sad. ditl.org was a staple of my nerdy teen years back in the first half of the aught's.

His last line was something like ‘maybe we just could have picked some leafs’ after Apollo loses his poo poo and fades into nothingness Oh I liked that line, Kirk felt sorry for Apollo after realizing that really the dude was just extremely lonely and sad, wishes they could have resolved it another way

Unfortunately it's modern storytelling so that 15% of actually good content requires you to wade through the 85% of poo poo in order to be able to make heads or tails of it.
