Star Trek The Next Generation

[Tigger]

So we're back to the Neelix solution: shoot him 'til he drops.

Thank you.

If they ever do decent aliens, rather than "humans with feathers or a forehead vagina" I might start watching this kind of show.

Why should that bother you? It's explained why there are many humanoids.

But with anything it's about being able to empathise with what's happening.. hell it was even written by an atheist!

The explanation for the prevalence of humanoids in the galaxy was one of the shittiest things they every did in any episode of TNG. "Oh, we were so lonely and we didn't want any other races to be lonely, so we seeded worlds with our DNA so you'd all have that in common at least." (badly paraphrased because I can't be arsed to verbatim the shite) Thing is, the DNA-seeded worlds still went through a process of evolution from unicellular to multi-cellular to sentient. So, just as we cannot produce viable offspring with an asparagus despite our common ancestry, neither should we be able to produce viable offspring with a Vulcan or a Klingon. Also, it still doesn't justify the prevalence of bipeds with forehead vaginas because life on Earth is primarily non-bipedal isn't it? So even with our single world to extrapolate from, common ancestry explains exactly none of the issues the script writers for that episode tried to make it explain.


Fucking twats.

Loved the show, though.

Just thought I'd add the obligatory Star Trek, in all it's incarnations, suck scaly Klingon balls.

Now what's this about a "goddidit" ending to Quantum Leap? I never saw 'til the end.

Oh, and Channel 4 are having a Star Trek movie weekend. You have been warned.

In the end we found out that all that jumping around was God's fault, he was having what's-his-name clean up the messes. (Stupid, beyond stupid, but it must have been the only ending they could find for that lame show.)

[Thinking Aloud]

Here's an alien worthy of a weekly sci-fi show...

(It's the one on the right. )

It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I remember it with fondness and enjoy watching it when I'm find it on. It's up there with Quantum Leap.

Next gen was good, except for that gawdawful twat Pawiz Wesley Crusher, DS9 was better though.

They hinted at that all the way through though too. As he always had some moral/ethical task to perform (often with a time limit) while he was in each person. It was stupid enough to be something out of Highway to Heaven, but it was still a great show.

TNG had some great individual episodes and some of the best Trek characters, but overall it always felt very sterile to me, and it seemed they solved far too many problems by reversing the phase polarity of the forward pulse dylithium nacelle matrices. Or something. Later seasons of DS9 were in many ways superior to much of TNG because they started to drive individual episodes from a larger story arc, so it became something more than a loosely related collection of short stories. All series after DS9 lost me within the first few episodes, and I've heard nothing in retrospect to convince me to go watch them again. Nor did last summer's big-budget Trek "reboot" movie win me over... it wasn't Armageddon/Independence Day horrible as an SF film, but it didn't leave me eagerly awaiting the next installment, either.

Me, I'm re-watching the entire 5 season run of Babylon 5 now that it's available to stream on Netflix and wondering why so many people are prattling on about vampire movies when they should be asking if you're on Team Londo or Team G'kar.

"Hey, let's have a kid play an important part on the Enterprise!"

"Okay, but he has to act like an small adult and fail at that miserably."

"No problem with our script writers."

Also, God is a bartender.

I lied. I forgot about The Wrath of Khan... which is starting now

All the movies on film 4 this weekend, 6 and 8 are about the only other watchable ones, unless you like San Fran in the 80's.

The one with the whales? I used to love that as a kid.

They're a bit ropey to look at now. I lolled a few times at this one. It's not over yet though.

It was funny when Spock said, "The laws of logic dictate that the the need of the many outweigh the needs of a few" Logic fail!
Philosophical imperatives of moral precepts have nothing to do with "logic".
