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
― mookieproof, Friday, 2 February 2018 22:12 (six years ago) link
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.

heh i guess your right. plus i guess she is an immortal with cosmic wisdom, she personally must know thousands of people over the hundreds of years she has lived. outside of Data there aren't too many with that kind of life. i can see a kind of gothic romance in that.

Is it Goth to act like a big swinging dick around fantasy versions of your crewmates?
Or more probably that he turned into a frightening spider-creature once.

it's a tough plotting for wesley and reg -- deepest nerds, but too lame to fit in with the preps or the goths
wes *did* make out with ashley judd tho, even if it stressed the dimensions of the prime universe
― mookieproof, Saturday, 3 February 2018 04:28 (six years ago) link
Wesley has an episode about that sort of, when he is pressured to go along with his friends and lie or do the right thing and get everyone in trouble. it plays into his need to appease his authority/father figure in Picard. all this is total nerd stuff.
Beverly Crusher on the other hand has that last season show where she has a love affair with the ghost of her grandmother's lover, who lives in a candle. she is in love with a space candle ghost. *SPOILERS* she ends up shooting her possessed grandmother with a phaser. she goth af.

The trade reports that one show in Kurtzman’s new deal could bring back one of Trek’s most beloved characters: Sir Patrick Stewart’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard.According to THR, both Kurtzman and producer Akiva Goldsman (who departed Discovery after its first season) are attached to the series, which would be lead by Stewart reprising his role as Picard.

I'm a little skeptical about another iteration of rehashing, but also a little happy that it's not ~another~ TOS rehash, and one that involves Picard (yay!).

so a limited Khan series would be about... the eugenics wars of the 1990s? or the 15 years he was marooned by Kirk?

(we are rescreening all the films at the mo, I've never even seen any of the OG ones cept bits of Wrath of Khan in high school)
ST:TMP (#1) is the only standalone movie I could love, and its the only one that really captured the sense of awe and wonder I think was Roddenberry's aim. While I'm still enraptured by the Spock EVA sequence, 3 minutes flying about admiring the new Enterprise model is too much for even me. There are some good fanedits.

It took me far far too long to get the Voyager joke and then, to also realise thats what futurama were taking the mick out of with their V_GINY episode. Geez is there anything that show did not rip off Trek!?

There is a comic series that traces the lines between proud-in-defeat Khan at the end of Space Seed to seething-hair-metal Khan in ST:II that isn't bad!

I don't know if the continual reliance on the old series/movies merely indicated the play-it-safe template of corporate entertainment or the lack of creativity of those who've inherited the train set.

Hey guys, if you have a franchise with 'Star' in the title, it might behoove you to eventually move beyond sixteen characters who are constantly bumping into each other's asses regardless of where they happen to be in the boundless galaxy.
