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

We saw this. After drinks. I appreciated the interviews and bloopers.
― mh, Friday, 26 April 2013 04:02 (ten years ago) link
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.

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

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.
― carl agatha, Friday, 26 April 2013 16:53 (ten years ago) link
DS9 YESYESYES
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 26 April 2013 16:54 (ten years ago) link
but yeah, season 3 TNG and after is much better than the first 3 seasons
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 26 April 2013 16:55 (ten years ago) link
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!
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Friday, 26 April 2013 17:06 (ten years ago) link
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.
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Friday, 26 April 2013 17:07 (ten years ago) link
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.
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 26 April 2013 17:11 (ten years ago) link
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!
― carl agatha, Friday, 26 April 2013 17:22 (ten years ago) link
"Move Along Home" nearly put me off ds9. much worse than i remembered.

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.
― brad palsy (Jon Lewis), Friday, 26 April 2013 18:50 (ten years ago) link
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

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

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.
