Star Trek: Classic or Dud?

Was STNG Enterprise the only ship that has a psychologist as a bridge officer? Eventually Troi just wears a regular uniform and it's somehow even sexier

DS9 eventually has one, although technically that's a station.

I don't could DS9 as a ship and I never will. That's why Ds( missed the bite - who can care about a floating metal crab with visitors? THen they were like "OH by the way now Sisko became Jesus" - I knwo I'll take a lot of flack for this as ds9 has many devotees but I'm ready

MOBY DS9

who can care about a floating metal crab with visitors?

...you put it like that.

Rewatching season two of TNG again. Pulaski is horrible. She doesn’t like using the transporter and insists on using a shuttlecraft. REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE?? Just finished the Wesley-crushes-on-a-shapeshifter episode and the Hotel Royale episode, good fun! I just love when Wesley’s crush morphs into a big alien gorilla. The “actors in goofy alien costumes” look is one of the best parts of the show, which is why I enjoyed “Lonely Among Us” (the Anticans and the Selay) and “Too Short a Season” (the old admiral gets younger and younger) better than most.

DS9 - floating space can next to a planet, Sisko Jesus, wormhole adjacent for adventures.
Bab5 - floating space can next to a planet, Sheridan Jesus, jumpgate wormhole adjacent for adventures.

I don't could DS9 as a ship and I never will

you never defiant

wesley airlock when? never done. big failure

OK I kinda like ds9 but I like controversy too

I'd like to see a DS9 Red Dwarf crossover. The ships goes into a time warp and ends up at ds9 throwin it back with shiny Quark

legend channel is showing o/g and im watching it bit by bit in random order (this ep is the one with apollo)

"you seem wise for a woman" says the annoying but also horny greek god to the lady officer* who you can barely see thru the wildly vaselined lens**

*scotty also has his eye on her
**did any other show of the time do this? ans must be yes but i honestly don't recall being struck by it so much and so often lol

ppl whose decisions have been really very iffy so far in this story: kirk, spock, bones, scotty, chekov

also spock seems to be flirting w/uhura, was that a thing?

Um…yes.

she seemed extremely surprised

Spock thinking "It is logical that a greek god is horny"

always found the description of the unworshipped gods physically disintegrating from ennui kind of affecting

I'm gonna make a thread of actors who appeared on Star Trek and also on The Golden Girls because that seems like a fun thing to do. 🧵

ILX0r Josefa basically did the same thing on another thread with respect to Star Trek: TOS and Hawaii Five-0 iirc.

I believe there may have been mention of Mannix as well.

Watched episode 4 (where Trip gets pregnant), which is actually kind of amusing in a lowered expectations kind of way (and is maybe only half as offensive as the Quark gender swap episode).

nothing else wd suffice so i began rewatching OG from the very start on netflix

this time ((s1e2: the man trap) uhura is flirting w/spock

also kirk just said "stop thinking with your glands" to bones

Yeah, it’s a trip watching the very early episodes when they hadn’t quite gotten the characters down yet

I was watching an old "Outer Limits" the other night with Sally Kellerman, and was reminded how striking she was. I remember thinking the same when I saw "Where No Man Has Gone Before." Not sure why they dropped her character, of whom Troy was, I suppose, a reiteration.

Oh, I guess it was because they killed her off LOL

i like how the early ones haven't yet completely devolved into the kirk/spock/mccoy show

yes there was a lot more ship time -- yeoman janice rand bringing sulu a meal and petting his barking plant

on to charlie x ("are you a girl?") (no it's yeoman janice rand)

i grew quite fond of Ensign Janice aka basket-head

yeoman sorry

i am yeoman hear me roar

Sally Kellerman got mixed up with that arrogant dude and her eyes went all silver iirc.

Grace Lee Whitney passed away in Coarsegold, CA in 2015.

"The Chukchansi and Picyunne Indians still reside in Coarsegold. They are best known for their intricate basket weaving"

It all ties together.

TIL while researching mermaids:
Trek’s Yeoman Rand, Grace Lee Whitney was the original model for the Chicken of the Sea mermaid in 1950. https://t.co/vcphmYusQC#startrek #yeomanrand #graceleewhitney #mermaid #mermaids #monstertheory #capitalism pic.twitter.com/UohlBN6Cl6

chicken (of the sea) in a basket

#capitalism

s1e3 "where no man has gone before": tbh this is kind of the same story as charlie x (how to handle an extremely self-absorbed someone with mental superpowers) (ans = gingerly)

Gerald Fried just passed away btw who composed the immortal Amok Time score along with the exoticizing Paradise Syndrome and the gothic Catspaw (and a bunch of cool shit for TV movies)

Elsewhere I read that he was the last living STTOS composer

xp Hotness an additional superpower that surely tripped Kirk up

his own hotness yes

s1e5: it's a plague which causes a sad man to lose hope, another to become as irish as only star trek can imagine (it's a lot but it's not very authentic)… and a glistening sulu to become a swashbuckling pirate wth his top off

I think I said it in some other thread but it should have been easy for the crew to spot evil Kirk as he wears far more eyeliner when he's evil.

also he accessorizes

lol

always liked the divider screens in the enterprise living quarters

yes!

my favorite is the sequined blankets / pillows in the sick bay

it should have been easy for the crew to spot evil Kirk as he wears far more eyeliner when he's evil.

it is easy iirc-- one of the best parts of mirror mirror is its correctly judging that while an evil spock might be the series' most formidable villain, an evil kirk could only be a sweating idiot who gets captured in five minutes

otm re sequins. a lot of peaceful shots fading up on them to the thrum-thrum of the bar charts.

was sure for a moment actually that the 23c-kitsch supremacist-revival wall art in mark's pic was just a large swatch of sickbay blanket

William Ware Theiss must have got a wholesale deal on that sequined material, i just picture bolts of it in a room somewhere - it shows up on walls, as dresses, pillows, blankets, it’s funny once you start to notice it
