I have a feeling that the list of things that Gene did that weren't awful is fewer than the number of fingers I have on one hand.

sunday at work posted:The actor who played the chief engineer in like three episodes of TNG season one started a letter writing campaign with his friends and family to try and get his role made permanent... before any of the episodes he was in had aired. Weird. Instead, we got that one lady to play the role in "The Naked Now" and she was never seen again. And Gene liked Frakes's beard that he grew between seasons one and two and told him to keep it because it made him look more nautical. I'm okay with that decision.

Powered Descent posted:I forget who it was that pointed out that Roddenberry tended to name his characters in a very particular way -- one or two syllables, often featuring the "K" sound. You have discovered the literary term "aliteration" and this gold star.

I'd have no problem with ST09 if they had left the whole time travel angle out. We don't need Leonard Nimoy appearing in a movie to give his blessing for a new series featuring the original crew. That's what ruined it for me. Into Darkness pissed me off so much that I started watching the show on Netflix just to see what was so great about the original series in the first place. The only Trek movies I had seen in full before than were First Contact and Nemesis and a handful of episodes of TNG and most of the last season of Voyager.

Why in the gently caress hasn't some industrious toy company made a Tongo set?

This is your reminder that "The Inner Light" will probably make you bawl your eyes out.

grilldos posted:I straight up forgot how poo poo season 1 TNG is from nearly every angle until my dad fell sleep on the couch after Chromecasting Netflix and it just kept churning out lovely episodes. Somehow season 1 could be more colorful and yet devoid of all fruitful feeling. You'll get to the better stuff eventually. And then you'll see "Balance of Terror" and be knocked out of your god drat seat.
