Spoilers Canon, Continuity, and Pike's Accident

[fireproof78]

You're the sort of person who hears Henry V and thinks Star Trek VI, aren't you?

I think, "oh, Shakespeare. "

Then I go "it's better in the original Klingon. "

 

[Noname Given]

No, that's incorrect. You're referring to a scene in "The Cage" wherein Spock makes a gesture to change the slide displayed on a viewer. There was a crewman obeying that "advance slide" gesture who was simply off-camera. It was not a depiction of a computer scanning a gesture and doing the same.

There's the scene in TOS S1 Where No Man Has Gone Before where Kirk orders, "Address Intercraft" and immediately Gary Mitchel swipes across a lighted panel on his console after which replying, "Intercraft open."

Yes he did. And if he'd been any cooler about it he would have had to have had a martini in the other hand.

 

[Commander Troi]

And been playing Bacarat.

And no, it's not my practice to publicly announce who I ignore but @Hythlodeus publicly insulting my reading comprehension in a personal attack comment gave me no choice

That's a good policy as posting that you're putting a particular person on your ignore list is considered trolling by the board rules.

Just put them on your ignore list and move on. You can always click on "Show Ignored Content" if you're having trouble following a thread.

Orci was after all hoping "My name is Khan" would remembered alongside "Luke, I am your father" as one of the all-time greatest plot twists in cinema history.

Yeah, that... didn't work out so well, did it?

I think TAS is a forgotten step-child of Trek, save only for LD jokes.

I'm fine with that, personally.

 

[fireproof78]

I'm not. Some great stories in there.

 

[Mudd]

There are really not.

 

[fireproof78]

"Infinite Vulcan."

"Yesteryear"

"The Ambergris Element"

"How Sharper than a Serpant's Tooth."

That's off the top of my head.

I enjoy a lot of them. Lot's of interesting ideas in those stories.

 

[JonnyQuest037]

I like TAS for the bits of backstory it establishes about TOS -- Spock's childhood in "Yesteryear," McCoy being in space medicine for 25 years, mention of his daughter Joanna, Robert April being the first captain of the Enterprise -- but I find most of the stories (and the voice acting) underwhelming.

 

[Tallguy]

There are really not.

I put One of Our Planets is Missing as one of my favorite Star Trek episodes ever.

Yesteryear doesn't need me to defend it. More Tribbles More Troubles is Star Trek's best space battle dressed up as a Tribbles sequel. The Time Trap is terrific. The Albatross is top tier (and the best McCoy episode).

After that YMMV for some of my other faves: Jihad. Pirates of Orion. (OH-ree-on.)

I know Majicks of Megas-tu has it's fans.As does Beyond the Farthest Star (it's not bad).

I don't care if it gave us April, The Counter Clock Incident is terrible.

Maybe posters should be kinder in their comments when responding to a post that obviously missed context instead of immediately resorting to personal attacks about "reading comprehension" etc. because that put me in a position where I was forced to reveal who I ignored.

Ruin the internet that would mate - 73.861% of internet content is people jumping on each other over misread comments etc

Context is for kings.

I personally put the whole story down as a "tall tale" which Robert April tells at the retirement colony, to ever increasing levels of exaggeration. Nothing about it makes sense otherwise.

Hey it made Warp Factor 36 Canon too.. oh, wait...

Also, the other residents keep pointing out to him that he's not really Robert April. He insists that he is and that his best friend is Elvis Presley.

I see what you did there.

"Robert April is black. You're clearly white."
"That's what makes it so clever!"
