Star Trek: Classic or Dud?

Oh: Wil Wheaton is blogging his way through TNG episodes.

Lispy, soft pedo-voice: "ooh, the best theason of all, that!"
"The borg ... the borg! And at the thame time, deirdre wath kidnapped. Coronation thtreet [shitty UK soap] fanth were crying about Deirdre and did you thee uth crying about Picard going to the Borg? No!"

Me: "Big crossover between Coronation Street fans and Trekkies then, is there?"

He tharthed on an angry reply then yelped "OH MY GOD! OH. MY. GOD. THAT CAN'T BE! IT IS! OH MY" and started jumping on the spot. At a Knight Rider all-seasons box set.

I was kinda embarrassed to buy Wrath of Khan, then.

^^^controversial but true

Kirby/Lee = OST is a nice analogy tho, I like that. For me it goes OST>>Wrath of Khan>>Star Trek VI>the better TNG episodes>all the other movies>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everything else

I gather they were meant to be 20th century humans.

I've always felt there was this weird Ferengi = Bad space Jews/Vulcans = Good space Jews subtext goin on

oh neat, here's the campus newspaper bit about it. It happened 10 years ago next week.

The "multi Worf" episode is when he trips some quantum singularity whatsit and he travels through a whole buncha different quantum realities, one of which includes a reality where the Borg had killed Picard and overran the Alpha Quadrant and the Federation is almost dead!!!

RASCIST!

Love that one!

Yeah, that's a good one. Not as much impact as the constant shattering sane/insane episode but still.

i know that the following is kind of odd and/or dumb, but i am bored and it's bothered me for such a long time so here goes ...

... y'all remember that episode "the menagerie," where the talosian aliens kidnap captain christopher pike in order to use him and vina (the female survivor of the original exploratory mission that crashed on the aliens' planet) as breeding stock to repair and build equipment & thereby save the talosian race, right? obviously, we all can understand the mechanics of how all that would work when captain pike was still able-bodied (even though IRL vina was all fucked up and God only knows precisely WHERE the talosians stuck her genitalia when they "repaired" her or even if it was fully functional and whatever the truth wr2 all that pike was brainwashed so he'd think that he was schtupping some hottie instead of a deformed lump of flesh).

when the talosians allowed pike to return after HIS accident, however, when he was all deformed and everything from his torso downwards was confined to that wheelchair-box device -- presumably he WOULDN'T be able to actually mate with vina, right? i mean, HIS genitalia was stuck in that wheelchair-box thing and, even IF by some feat the talosians took a can opener & "let it all out" then the sheer weight of the wheelchair would crush vina when they were getting it on.

so presumably, the talosians' letting pike rejoin vina was just an act of mercy on their part -- since the aliens were fucked as a species anyway and they seemed to be fond of human beings (even as playthings), so why not?!? is this the correct interpretation?!?
