    ST: TNG Rewatch

    ...I loved Picard's revenge of leaving the creature behind. Yet the episode doesn't really work. How does Armus fit Riker inside him (insert dirty joke here)? The "ditch" is just for production reasons, he's not down there. Is he folded like my laundry? He lets people go too easily when he has...

    Star Trek The Wrath of Khan Book Club

    ...Kirk talking about the people they had lost. Saavik and David's "dumb bastard" exchange! (And it's a callback to Kirk's line "that was a little joke".) I'm sure there are more. I heard someone say that they added the line "did you change your hairstyle?" to cover for the fact that Alley...

    Fallout: The Television Series

    Him saying that over and over again was an in-joke on how the NCR Troopers' were programmed to mostly say that line over and over again

    Chekov’s Hair Club For Starfleet Crewmembers

    ...years younger and somehow try to pass as Davy Jones to lure in new viewers, it's just as amazing they'd didn't use the intended as the butt of jokes along with everything else - especially in season 2. And he was in many ways, the least of which being that it's a joke that people would watch...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    ...over a dozen more who felt like main cast members, especially late in the series. It had 24 questions, allowing for the one I asked twice as a joke. Now it's up to 35. So when I post the reboot version, it will be even more searing. Now I want to read that story again. Which was a good...

    Alphanumeric! A "ReBoot" (1994 - 2001) documentary series and remaster

    That, and having tributes to the Gerry Anderson shows in one episode, and a tribute to The Prisoner in another.

    Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

    If you mean Trek guests, that doesn't seem to apply to the season 5 finale, "The Merchant," but the preceding episode, "The Party," features Antoinette Bower, Alfred Ryder, and Arthur Batanides as well as Leonard Nimoy.

    Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

    I don't have my Mission: Impossible book handy, but I know that the final episode of the fifth season had three guest stars who had all appeared together in a previous series, and, according to the female co-star, she said it felt like "old home week" as the three of them would spend their down...

    The War Virus

    ...the screenplay for Hitchcock's "The Birds." McBain wrote the hard-boiled detective novels. (Born: Salvatore Lombino.) I confess that, as a joke, I once sold a story to AMAZING as "Bryan Gregory Stephenson" just so that, briefly, I could be the biggest name in SFF. Beating Jessica...

    Fallout: The Television Series

    Even though it's such an obvious joke, I still had a good laugh over the alien being found in the freezer, and everyone was all "holy shit, a working ice box!"

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    In many circumstances, I don't either. I think that Kes being rarely mentioned in later seasons was a concession to new viewers who hadn't seen the character. And, I think that "Fury" was a display of incompetence rather than ill intent. A bit of the "Riker as Q" effect: giving the people what...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    Again, writers have a different view of characters than fans. Writers are not necessarily attached to characters like fans, but look at the most dramatic potential while having deadlines.

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    Yeah. It's one thing to say, "what the writers did made me feel insulted" or, "it's like the writers set out to insult the audience," and something entirely different to outright accuse them of premeditation. Even when they had Kim's parents joking about him not having been promoted, I think...

    Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

    I joke that the breakthrough visual effects technique that should've been recognized by the 2015 visual effects Oscar was "lying." The Force Awakens and Fury Road both had ostentatiously false publicity campaigns about how they did everything for real, no CGI, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit. The...

    News Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

    Yeah--I remember reading the Iliad for the first time in my 30s and wondering what the hell happened to the Horse? Then I looked it up and discovered it was actually in Virgil's poem so had to add the Aenid to my reading list. Nobody told me there were multiple parts to the story. EDIT for...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    Agreed. Injures him, I could live with. Maybe she should have broken his arm or something. With Starfleet officers, yes. I agree with Chakotay that Janeway needed to give the Maquis (Including B'Elanna) some leeway because they didn't sign up for this. But there's a difference between reducing...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    ...to what B'Elanna did. The only ones who did worse things were Seska, Suder and Jonas. It's sad actually because he was never meant to be a joke. I guess that the original plan was that he should be a likeable guy, something like Geordi LaForge in TNG. I hate to wirte this but look what...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    ...quarters for a couple days. And a heart to heart with Chakotay that if it happened again, he would brig her himself. Really. The memes make a joke of him. I think Q was messing with Picard a little. Why would a 50+ year old LTJG be on the Enterprise? That kind of officer would have been...

    The Most Disliked Episode of LDS, Finals - 2025 Edition...

    ...of a wan effort throughout. I don't buy at all the central story that Boimler and Rutherford think Mariner might be this evil operative or whatever. And they thought that joke about Mugato pronunciation had a lot more legs than it actually did. "Terminal Provocations" - 1 "Mugato, Gumato" - 3
