I caught "The Offspring" on BBC America this morning. When the admiral is tells Lal she must go to Starfleet for study, it triggers her fear emotion which leads to her death.

Shouldn't he have been charged somehow? Had he not been a dick, she might have lived a little longer.

I don’t think he could reasonably be held responsible - it’s not like anyone warned him or seemed aware themselves that stress or fear could kill her.

If anything, it’d make his point for him - that a starship was too risky a place for Lal to live long term.

TOS was weird like that sometimes, though not exactly surprising for its era of course. The worst example is "The Apple". There's really no actual crisis, no people being subjugated or whatever, but Kirk basically just decides their society is lame and breaks the thing that keeps it going.

I mean I guess it did kill some redshirts, but altogether it seems like a situation where the Prime Directive really should've led them to just go away

Still, it had the best "Enterprise phasers the gently caress out of something" scenes.

Just caught the end of "Identity Crisis". Man, that was a hosed-up episode. It creeped me out big time.

If I had survived that, I'd be all, "gently caress the space poo poo. Take my rear end back home."

I did like how Geordie went all Blade Runner analyzing the away mission video.

I only need five more ships to complete the original collection. I'm guessing it will be easier just to buy them outright.

Edit: I just checked ebay for the ones I need. Ouch!

For anyone who used to buy some of Eaglemoss' Star Trek models before they went bust, the company who brought their stock has started selling what they have: https://www.masterreplicas.com/

They're only putting about 25ish items up for two weeks at a time, then they'll rotate out to another batch. They apparently even have some stuff that Eaglemoss never got around to releasing before they went under.

I'm missing about six ships from the original 180 ship run. Of course, none of them are in the current batch.

It'd be better, but the PAL versions are still second generation copies taken from the original NTSC tapes and the DVD versions have further generation loss from MPEG2 compression. Those who did the original PAL conversion just did a better job with the 3:2 pulldown process than the Paramount+ versions where they didn't account for different field orders from scene to scene. If a full blown remaster isn't an option, they'd be better off sourcing from the original tapes again, cleaning those up and performing pulldown correctly.

Bullock started out as Seth McFarland, by his own admission, playing a game of chicken with Stewart to see what was the most offensive thing he could get Stewart to say for a paycheck before he said no, and it turned out there was no red line, he was down for literally whatever.

He said in a speech that there were only two things he was asked to say and refused: one was that Bullock was a pedophile and something bad about a friend of his, but he didn't say who.
