Watched the TOS episode about the future war fought using computers, always a favourite and reminds me of some of the great voyager standalone stories

ok this is apropos of nothing but Mr Veg just told me the coolest stories
- in 1975 Leonard Nimoy did a signing in a model home, part of a promotion for a brand new housing development right up the road from Mr Veg's childhood home in Antioch CA. He was 10 years old and he went and he got an 8 x 10 glossy signed by Nimoy, 'Live Long & Prosper' etc. Mr Veg remembers thinking it was weird how Nimoy had big sideburns and longer hair than his tv counterpart
- in 1982 Scotty was doing a signing at an appliance repair store near where Mr Veg now lived, in a big suburban sprawl just outside of Sac. The appliance repair store had branched into selling videos so apparently that was somehow something to do with how Scotty came to be there. idk. Mr Veg was about 17 by then, and he got Scotty to sign the program he had of Star Trek: The Movie. Mr Veg asked him if he wanted to keep making more movies. Scotty said no, he wanted to go back to doing episodes. He didn't see how they could string the movies together without them getting dumb. <3

One thing I do like about TOS is that they weren't afraid to get weird, whether it's involving Greek Gods or Clint Howard as a dubbed alien god child or just lots and lots of Abe Lincoln. Something feels very 60's New Wave of Science Fiction short-stories with it, which makes sense as that's the pool they drew writers from.

I was thinking today about Star Trek III. They're pretty cavalier about transferring Spock's katra into the resurrected Spock. That's essentially a new person, right? Doesn't he have some claim to self-realization? They say that he's "Spock's body", which I guess means that he doesn't have a katra of his own, but he's still an intelligent being. Even if he cooperates in the ceremony, is he really in a position to consent? He's barely a day old. He doesn't even have language yet.

xxxpost re going weird, same with the music. The stuff Fried, Courage, and Fielding did for TOS episodes was profoundly weird in a way that Star Trek music would never ever be allowed to approach again.

also along those lines, in this thread or one of the other ones someone compares tos episode titles w tng ones and it's p damning imo. THE GAMESTERS OF TRISKELION and DEVIL IN THE DARK and THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS and FOR THE WORLD IS HOLLOW AND I HAVE TOUCHED THE SKY vs a show whose best titles are puns on the letter q.

Ron Moore: "By the time I joined TNG, Gene had decreed that money most emphatically did NOT exist in the Federation, nor did 'credits' and that was that. Personally, I've always felt this was a bunch of hooey, but it was one of the rules and that's that."
