It's also a universe with tailors. Maybe the ship's tailor had his or her hands full?

Maybe ships in Star Trek are always trying to orbit over the same spot, but don't want to go all the way out to geostationary orbit, so they just hang out, blasting their impulse engines all the time, to stay aloft.

In the opening credits, the last shot of the ship has similar leaking around the shuttlebay doors. Maybe they were intended to open?

I'm ashamed that it took until they said, "I'm sure you two will go on to many exciting adventures!" before I realized "Assignment: Earth" was a backdoor pilot.

Gammatron 64 posted:"The line must be drawn HEAH! NO FURTHER!!!" is a great scene I love, but imagine how much better it would have been if Sisko was the one yelling "BLOW UP THE drat SHIP PICARD!" That'd be a pretty satisfying scene, given that Picard hates the Borg for making him a Borg and Sisko hates Picard for having been a Borg. Sisko finally letting go of his desire for revenge would be a good trigger for Picard to realize he needs to do the same. Although "See ya around, Ahab." is pretty good, too.

Just watched TOS "Day of the Dove." I think just about every actor who holds a sword in the episode grasps it by its blade at some point. We started to wonder if they were doing it on purpose, possibly to protest the dumbness of the concept.

At least, in "Day of the Dove," when Chekov tries to make out with that woman, he still has his hand over her mouth.

Holy hell, "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" is one big pacing issue. At least we get a "sabotaaaage" out of the deal.

"The Mark of Gideon" thoughts: The fact that, just outside the room with three people in it, it's so crowded on Gideon that everybody's jostling everybody around is hilarious. Also, wow at the mention of birth control on 60's TV. "That Which Survives" thoughts: Man, Spock is an rear end in a top hat! Also, everybody keeps saying "blow up" instead of anything like "explode."

Duckbag posted:That Which Survives is just another third season turd with a thin, pointless "mystery," a pretty girl, and barely a wisp of a plot. It's basically just like Gideon, but with less going on and basically nothing to say. I mostly just remember the teleporting ghost robot chicks, the redshirt deaths, and the "beauty survives" bullshit at the end. What does Spock do again? He spends half the episode telling Scotty to quit being so emotional and just go kill himself in the Jeffries tube already. Kirk's a butt to Sulu, too, for no reason.

"Lights of Zetar" thoughts: Way too many mentions of "the girl," but a neat concept, a couple cool animations and effects, and holy poo poo did Mira's actress nail her body language then the aliens were speaking! No blinking, no eyebrow twitches, nothing! Edit: Also got a serious Metroid vibe from some of the music. CPColin fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Sep 27, 2016 |

The only reason The Search for Spock is bad is because it's between two better movies. Like Empire Strikes Back.

Finally made it through my first watch of TOS. "Turnabout Intruder" was not as bad as I feared. Now I have to convince my girlfriend to watch the movies. I poisoned the well by informing her of the even-odd rule. I also need to figure out what exactly is the best version of each of these dang movies.

I had a dream I was watching the first episode of Discovery. It had suddenly picked up a sponsor in an upstart cookie company, so the "O" in the logo was a chocolate chip cookie. Then the Enterprise showed up and had like five saucer sections.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Lwaxana is great, if only because she forces the TNG crew to react like normal human beings instead of the standard "enlightened 24th century elite". Exactly. It's like when Q rolls in and goes, "Why are you people acting like such weirdos? This universe doesn't make any sense!"

Just watched TMP for the second time in my life. That's about 1.5 times too many. My favorite part was when Bones came up to the bridge, looked around, and left again, without saying anything.

Fun fact: I couldn't find it in our local video rental store on DVD (they had it on VHS), but my DVR managed to catch it playing on my CW affiliate in, you guessed it, the "Saturday Afternoon Movie" slot.

Pulaski is good and so are Lwaxana Troi and Captain Jellico. Vic Fontaine episodes are good to have on in the background while doing dishes.
