Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x04 - "An Obol for Charon"

BUT THEY GOT A SPINOFF SERIES. Come on. Give a chain-smoking cougar a break, yo.

I remember the neighbor woman on the spinoff series (Jeffery Tambor's wife in the series) as being very attractive housewife in a 1980s way.

TV in the late '70s and during the '80s was...definitely an eyeful. And not just because of the actors and the outfits in which they often dressed.

Eyefull is right, if someone in those shoulder pads turned too quickly.

 

[cooleddie74]

That cocaine wasn't going to pay for itself.

which is why 90s Klingons and Romulans were feared in all quadrants

The late 1980s and into 1990s with the shoulder pads. See "Suzanne Sugarbaker".

Some plot by night...
Some plot by day...
In the Pale Moonlight....you can spot a fake anydaaaaaaaay...

I just meant from TV in my childhood, the mid-80's into the 90's where when I saw most of them.

All six of them. And then some.

 

[Kemaiku]

All six of them. And then some.

If the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds where the Epsilon and Zeta quadrants, that still works.

Sorry if I sounded as if I was trying to correct you. I just meant "...and into the 1990s" to mean it too was a golden age of shoulder pads, such as Suzanne Sugarbaker and Commander Tomalak.

 

[Hythlodeus]

whatever happend to shoulder pads anyway? they were a huge thing for over a decade and then...suddenly...poof! like turrrrrrrd ind the wind, they vanished from public conscience.
weird

 

[cooleddie74]

People sobered up.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I have the sudden urge to bingewatch I Love The 80's.

 

[Hythlodeus]

People sobered up.

I remember enough of the late 90s to know that this is not true

 

[Jackson_Roykirk]

If the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds where the Epsilon and Zeta quadrants, that still works.

There are some dwarf galaxies gravitationally bound to the Milky way, many discovered recently/since TNG or VOY, that are closer to the Milky Way than the Small and/or Large Magellanic Clouds.

McCoy was -- and I bet Boyce would have been -- the Captain's friend and confidant. What I mean is it may not have been his position as doctor that put him on the bridge, but rather his personal relationship with Kirk (and Boyce with Pike). McCoy and Boyce were people whose counsel was valued and trusted by their Captains.

I wonder if this is a little call back to the film and novel "Mister Roberts" where Roberts saw the Doctor as the one person among the crew who was most similar to himself and shared the same sensibilities, thus was the one person from whom he could truly get valued advice. Granted, Roberts wasn't the Captain, but he was the defacto leader of the crew.

they can have a chitchat in there own time when they are on the federal buck they are supossed to do their jobs

 

[oberth]

the landlady from Three's Company (or, as you would call it Herzbube mit zwei Damen)

never heard of it

KIDS THESE DAYS!!!

 

[Veronica Hobbes]

Just wondering if I was the only who cried during this episode. Twice actually. I liked this episode though, I was surprised that Number One appeared so briefly. I was expecting to see more of her than we did, I wouldn't mind seeing more of her though. My favourite part was probably the translator malfunction and when they were all talking different languages. I like that Cmdr. Nhan is back, I like her.
