Star Trek: Classic or Dud?

Yeah, we've been trolling through Netflix picking out the good'uns. It stands up a lot better than I was expecting.

Although holy shit, I just read that blog post.

Highly recommend their post for Haven, too.

We got the remastered series on disc for an early Xmas gift and have been rewatching S1, too. As much as I'm enjoying it (although often for camp reasons bc wow first season is campy as hell), I feel like the show doesn't really get settled until Beverly comes back and Riker has a beard, so looking forward to S3.

okay how do i not remember that episode AT ALL

Justice is my fav s1 episode.

Haha that "Justice" episode.

shit was DEEP

TNG is so good

Got to say as I go more through season 1, the series highly improved in the second half of the first season.

"if there's grass on the field, play ball" is my TNG rule of thumb, as applies to riker's face

"A code of honor.... protects one, Captain... like a MAGIC. CLOAK."

"Then you shall have NO treaty, NO vaccine, and NO LIEUTENANT YAR!!"

"As you can see, Captain, you may excel in technology... but NOT in civilized behavior."

good christ I turned on an episode of this from season 3 today and witnessed some alien giving Troi a foot massage.

happy friday

I love when Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes hug. And Michael Dorn and Jolele Blalock are both so cute with their giggles.

YES

the hugs are my favorite

Esp because Frakes is like like six inches taller. And three times hairier.

not sure if ive mentioned i know where Capt Picard lives

Do you ever see him???? How do you resist the urge to run up and give him a Jonathan Frakes-esque hug?

bcz i watched his show twice, and was left cold?

morbs ;_;

twice is not enough

Right, sorry. I forgot who I was talking to for a second.

"I know where capt Picard lives" my favorite weird al song

everyone knows where he lives http://files.myopera.com/alexs/albums/364100/NCC-1701-D_3.jpg

saucer-shaped Brooklyn condo

i only saw Stewart once on a men's room line in a Broadway theatre (major DON'T SPEAK TO ME vibes), and wished i got the urinal next to his so i could say "Make it so, No 1.'

no dude that's when you say EARL GREY. HOT.

:)

"I've brought down bigger men than you, Picard!"

good stuff everyone

Never seen Picard, but I was in a small crowd with Frakes, Nichols, et al at 40th anniversary Trek convention. My brother's Klingon metal band played up in the Space Needle at that. I met a green Orion slave girl, got her #, and had coffee and donuts with her the next morning. Good times!

TNG is the perfect show to watch before bed

xp - Stovokor?

For the longest time, I've always heard (and probably still hear) Justine Frischmann singing something about Stovokor in "Connection."

Gowron is one of my favorite minor recurring characters in Star Trek. I just wish I could get my eyes to go like this whenever someone tells me some b.s. at work.

like this dude

unemployment = starting voyager, lol with me friends.

say it ain't so

our roommate Pat was watching a later episode last night and i want to be able to watch it w him.
i need to finish DS9 too.
and then.. babylon 5.

hulu has some sort of best-of Trek playlists right now

Mr Veg & I got free tickets to see the screening of the remastered fancified TNG: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS on April 25th

:D
:D
:D

We're going too. Of course we're going.

omg i want to go to that but i dunno if i can buy tickets at this pt in time :\

I kind of like Voyager! Janeway and Tuvok are badass.

yeah, the characters are pretty solid! It got a bit soap opera-ey but there are some solid bits

yeah this doesn't seem so bad at all

How bad is Enterprise?

the opening theme song kind of sets the tone for how bad enterprise gets. the mirror 2 parter was fun, fan-fictiony action though.

haha, i always forget that one even exists -- sorta like that sitcom lucille ball did in the '80s. i wonder how many new ST shows they thought they could get away with. crazy to think that if TNG had lasted just one more year there would've been three ST series on the air at the same time.
