Star Trek: Classic or Dud?

that is badass, way to go worf

In an Independence Day type scenario where we have to recruit civilian pilots, Michael will be a valuable resource. Much more skilled than your average crop duster.

oh man for a minute I thought he meant he'd bought a F/A-18 like the Blue Angels fly and was thinking... damn, dude, how much does Star Trek pay

That's amazing. I love how an F-86 just happens...
I wonder if he says to himself "Perhaps today IS a good day to die!" before taking off

Also, just saw that Dax is engaged to Nimoy's son which seems nice.

Aw cute!

Archival film footage.

I'm reading the 50th Anniversary oral history, and with so many different people trashing his writing, he comes off as pitiable. (Also, he was almost definitely a sexual predator.)

roddenberry?

Yes.

watch "pretty maids all in a row" and the sexual predator question will get confusing

Maybe predator is the wrong word -- he definitely created a hostile work environment for at least one woman who worked on TOS.

grace lee whitney, who played janice rand, has said that she was sexually assaulted by somebody who worked on the show and she hinted pretty strongly that it was him

& terry farrell quit ds9 because rick berman was sexually harassing her

The oral history (quoted here):

Ande Richardson (assistant to producer Gene L. Coon, who has yet to be hired as of the production of "Mudd's Women," but about whom we will certainly talk frequently later on): "There were certain people who had my respect, and Gene Roddenberry didn't really get in that group. I mean, he came to my wedding and I went to his and Majel's wedding party after they'd gotten married in Japan." "But Gene Roddenberry was a sexist, manipulative person who disregarded women. I didn't value and respect him. He was funny in his own way, but he was paper-thin. He wasn't substantial." "Sure, he may have been the Great Bird, but he wasn't a great person. He would have women walking from Bill Theiss's fitting rooms through to his office in the skimpiest outfit so he could perv them. He was really such a sexist. I remember him telling me something and I thought, 'Why is he telling me this?' Just personal kind of stuff I couldn't really care to know about him. Disregarding people's private space. I remember seeing him with Nichelle in his office, which is when I realized, 'Oh, he's been banging Nichelle.' But he moved Majel into an apartment just down the street so he could go for nooners. I don't know why he had to be lecherous, looking after every woman. He came back from Japan with Majel and he said to me, 'You know, Ande, you can go from the front to the back but you can't go from the back to the front. Majel's got a heck of an infection.' Again, why are you telling me this? But that was him: freaky-deaky dude."

On a different topic, Shatner.

old school liberalism didn't have time to include everybody, guys

I hope you're saying that with irony -- this sort of behavior needs to be acknowledged and then called out, even after the decades after which it took place.

ha, yeah i'm being sarcastic

"Nooners"

Ande Richardson was an interesting figure in that book

Also, 2/3rds of the women quit TNG after the first season

(Which, yeah, we’ve mentioned multiple times upthread no doubt)

Rick Berman comes off as a misogynist, unsurprisingly given the fact that he drove off Terry Farrell. With the way he trashes her, he seems to have taken Genevieve Bujold's very existence personally. And the way he discusses how Seven was initially developed as a character is gross (Brannon Braga too).

"The Offspring" is so good!

Dr Crusher is only on that axis b/c of the ghost candle episode, isn’t she.

having one's own personal collapsing universe is also pretty goth

i would swap Data and Wesley. Data has that pale skin and always seemed drawn to the more artsy/emotive side of human behavior. Wesley went into academy prep school before turning into space jesus. plus in the first episode of TNG he keeps turning up on the bridge to show off his skills, clearly jock behavior.

no idea why Guinan is far goth. she's one of the most level-headed people in the ship, a personal longtime friend of the captain, and totally fine with serving drinks and mingling w all the crazy people that show up on ship.

It's the hat.

Also Guinan's Victorian outfit in 'Time's Arrow'.
