What Star Trek episodes or films have you been watching lately?

[RandyS]

You know, other than the expanded score for TWOK, I think the four re-recordings of music from TOS (which include The Empath) are the only Star Trek CDs I do not own. How are they as far as re-recordings go?

They're not re-recordings. They're the same music that was in the episodes, and have been available for at least twenty years. I know of no re-recordings.

Star Trek Soundtracks indicates that they are in fact re-recordings, and it's a pretty accurate site. The original recordings from Star Trek that have been made available so far only include music from the following episodes:

"The Cage"
"Where No Man Has Gone Before"
"Amok Time"
"The Doomsday Machine"
"Balance of Terror" (partial)
"The Naked Time"
"Shore Leave"
"What Are Little Girls Made of?" (partial)
"The Trouble with Tribbles" (partial)
"The Corbomite Maneuver" (partial)

Actually, looking at the CD cover of the recording in question, it even states "Newly Recorded Music..." right below the title. Yeah, they're re-recordings. But if you weren't able to tell the difference from the originals, that speaks well to the quality.

Yep. Those are the albums I was referring to. Didn't know they were re-recordings. I have them on twenty year old cassttes copied from a friends tapes. They sound EXACTLY like what was on screen.

I stand corrected.

And I know what my next CD purchases will be.

TNG rewatch continues...

Wife and I watched "The Hunted" last night, and we both think we had never seen it before then (and we're in our 30's and long time Trekkies).

I seem to vaguely recall the ending, but then it's kind of a stereotypical TNG ending, so who knows. But the prisoner character was kinda interesting.

DS9's "Visions"

 

[RegFan]

I watched both parts of Equinox yesterday. The idea of an Equinox arc came up in this thread and I felt like rewatching the episodes.

 

[Amaris]

"I, Mudd" - TOS
I all around love this episode.

"I, Mudd" - TOS
I all around love this episode.

Yep. One of my favorites too.

My DS9 rewatch continues. I'm almost finished with season 4. The last episode I watched was "To the Death".

I've also been doing an Enterprise rewatch recently. It's tough having to watch episodes that I already know are going to be bad, but now I'm getting to the heart of the Xindi arc, so it should definitely start to get more exciting.

Reg Fan:

Yeah, I gotta watch that one soon. I really liked the Equinox two parter. Oh, and I agree, too. It would have been really interesting if Voyager did this as a long story arc, as well. They totally could have fleshed out the Equinox crew and have us get to know them a lot more personally.

TAS: The Terratin Incident.

"Visual sweeps are already impossible, sir. My eyes no longer fit the opticals."

Perhaps Arex's best line of the series.

VOY's "Death Wish"

This episode is labeled in Memory Alpha's Trek time travel episodes. However, although there is time travel within this episode, it plays a very insignificant part within the story line.

So I am not so sure it should be labeled as one.

[startrekrcks]

I watched TNG,Voyager on Virgin that is a good channel on Freeview.

 

[Luther Sloan]

Watched the first 10-15 minutes of DS9's "Past Tense Part l".
Ugh. I just couldn't get into watching this episode again. I have seen it a few times before, but I really must have forgotten how dry this episode was.

TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!" and "This Side of Paradise"

The former is a strong outing which stumbles in the end, because the show couldn't let Spock be blind for the rest of the series. I'm also not quite sure what Sam Kirk has been up to before this episode lines up with a previous line about him in "What are Little Girls Made Of?" (the fact that he suddenly has one kid instead of three is certainly an error), but it's not so bad.

I like the latter, too, although I don't have much to say about it. I wish it had an orignal score, instead of re-used cues (mostly from "Shore Leave" according to my ears), but such was the way of 1960s television.

Harvey:

Yeah, it's quite possible that George Samuel Kirk's two other sons were on another planet with other family or something and James Kirk knew about their place of residence not that long ago. So that is why he didn't mention the other two sons in this episode. Perhaps the sons are older and have their own lives. The thing is that we don't know and there could be a dozen plausible explanations to explain this.

VOY's "Renaissance Man"

The Doctor is awesome in this.

There are rationalizations that can be made, of course, but Kirk seems to talk about Peter as if he's the last of Sam's family throughout the episode. Which is odd, since he is supposed to have three sons. It's not a big deal, as TOS was always pretty episodic, rarely making reference to things established in previous episodes (so far I've noticed, beyond Sam Kirk, a reference to "The Tholian Web" in "Turnabout Intruder," a reference to "A Taste of Armageddon" in "By Any Other Name," and a reference to Captain Pike of "The Cage" in "Mirror, Mirror.").

If TOS had been less episodic, Kirk probably would have mentioned one son and the Deneva Colony in the previous episode instead of three sons and the Earth II colony.

But I'm just being picky.

Just finished rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation season 1. Much better than people give it credit for, the universe just felt so new and fresh.
