Star Trek: Classic or Dud?

Now Jeff and I are waiting for them to fix the picture. :(((((((

We got 12 minutes in and the video hiccuped then went to a Dish Network screen. Now there is a packed theater full of restless Star Trek nerds waiting to see what happens next.

Also there's a lot of people in this theater who are way too casual about the frequency with which they launder their clothes.

Not me. Since you wash my clothes.

yipes i hope that doesnt happen to us!

They cancelled it. :( So bummed you guys.

They tried to give us vouchers for another movie! Vouchers! That is not of equal value. (I waited in line for a refund instead.)

That suuuuuucks!

wouldn'tve happened with reel film.

No, that specific thing would not have happened with reel film, that is 100% true.

a crime to watch tng off celluloid really

We saw this. After drinks. I appreciated the interviews and bloopers.

Ours worked...sorry Carl & Jeff that blows!

We left before the bloopers...I didnt care about that as much as the show itself which looked RAD

God help me I love the bloopers. It's embarrassing how hard they make me laugh. I blame early exposure to America's Funniest Home Videos.

This just means we'll need to pony up for the remastered season 3 DVDs ASAP. Then I can watch all the TNG whenever I want without having to smell somebody's dirty laundry. Hmph.

I'm glad this issue was limited to that stupid theater where we were, though!

psst carl check yr email

I did nothing is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i sent it via yr ilx email

It's like last night all over again.

Netflix has made me into quite the budding TNG Trekkie - at the end of season three now. I see I am in good company.

xpost okay NOW check your email

I DID I GOT IT OMG

ffm, imo, Best of Both Worlds kicks is where the series really gets its bearings. There are some... interesting choices in S1 and 2, 3 gets better, and 4 is where it turns into an amazing show.

Also when you finish TNG, do check out DS9. VG will back me up on that one.

DS9 YESYESYES

but yeah, season 3 TNG and after is much better than the first 3 seasons

We're rewatching DS9 now for kicks, actually. So good. Benjamin Sisko is so amazing. I love how Avery Brooks plays him as such a weirdo sometimes. He's just weird enough that make him really believable and relatable. And sometimes hilarious.

(One ep in particular that we just watched is the one where a remnant of the Cardassian security system on the station thinks there's been a worker revolt and Sisko's response when SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT he averts the warp core breach is just perfect.)

I love most of what I've seen so far but I am a campy, silly individual. Looking forward to S4!

i've been re-watching DS9 too, but in a strange move for me I have begun to watch VOYAGER. and i like it! kind of a lot? I haven't gotten very far into it, but I am down.

TNG is my fave for all time i think.

best is to watch Best Of Both Worlds and follow up with episode 1 of Deep Space Nine

Sisko pwning Picard is my single favorite moment ever. So badass. From that moment on, I was on the Sikso train.

I don't know. That scene was like seeing my parents fight, if my parents were two badass starship captains. It definitely lets you know off the bat that DS9 is going to be different from other Star Treks since they were released from the constraints of being unable to talk bad about the Federation.

ffm, as a campy, silly individual, you will at least enjoy the S1 DSP episode "Move Along Home." That rivals TNG S1 for some smdh moments.

ian - I like Voyager, too!

"Move Along Home" nearly put me off ds9. much worse than i remembered.

Allamaraine, count to four,
Allamaraine, then three more

next you guys are gonna be all into critically re-evaluating Enterprise...

what's that supposed to mean

it means Voyager is terrible

Shut up.

:D

We are midway through tng season six right now, so deep in the hole of tng love. Have NEVER rly seen ds9 so p psyched to get to that too.

Btw GNP crescendo just announced they are putting out a remastered & expanded cd of Ron Jones' completely awesome orchestra/synth hybrid score for BOBW in the next month or so. The rest of Jones' tng music got released in a giant box set from the FSM label a few years ago but GNP retained the rights to BOBW only. I'm rly glad it's coming out bc GNP's old BOBW cd has pretty crappy sound quality.

mr veg just emailed me a clip of Jones' score - the 'Engage' sequence from the cliffhanger. So glorious.

and yeah, the score sounded wonderful last night

the s1 ds9 episode where odo and troi's mom are stuck in an elevator and odo needs to get back to his bucket is pretty hilarious

We all need to get back to our buckets sooner or later

^^^ rule of shape-shifting #37

Odo looks so gross when he's about to liquefy.

Btw GNP crescendo just announced they are putting out a remastered & expanded cd of Ron Jones' completely awesome orcestra/synth hybrid score for BOBW in the next month or so.

That's awesome. I love the TNG eps that he scored.

Wait, better to say: I love his music for TNG.

That Ron Jones TNG box set is on Spotify, btw.

I don't even like Star Trek but the other night I spent about an hour trying to persuade someone of the flawed value of its communist utopianism, and for that I blame this thread.

then you DO like stark trek

?

star trek

Yeah the Ron jones box is also avail on emusic iTunes etc in addition to spotify. I am particularly fond of the music for 'night terrors' and 'Data's Day' right now...

:D
