Well, he's originally a figure of fun, right? He's a violent and sinister man, but TOS treats him overwhelmingly as a joke. "Mudd's Women" is meant to be funny, though obviously the whole "mail-order bride" plot is deeply unfunny, and "I, Mudd" is straight-up comedy. His fate at the end of TOS...

That's a bullshit rationalization. :rolleyes: The pacing is so off to be distracting. But, proves the point that if it's a change fans are happy with they'll rationalize away anything.

I don't remember the jokes. But speed and pacing? 😂.. maybe hewas tired once it went into the opening of a new hope. 😂

One, the dad jokes. And two his speed and pacing is off from the original film.

Thanks, I have an appointment with my dentist tomorrow, but it's supposed to snow tonight. I don't think it will amount to much, but it's a long drive. And thanks to everyone for their well wishes and commiserations.

Solid arguments. I was only (mostly) joking about Jellico. Harriman and Ransom are two other candidates.

Right. So why create MORE plot hole creating devices??

But enough about the transporter in TOS. And that's not a joke save that the writers would frequently note on TOS and TNG that part of the plot of the week was "What's wrong with the transporter this time?" And they had runabouts which probably had functional transporters unrelated to...

...very wrong, of course.) Anyway, Monday: Chapter One McIntyre continues to both flesh out the character's interactions with each other (they joke together rather than just interacting with Kirk). She also continues to write her own dialog. (I'll stop mentioning it unless it's something...

Only when God is going Warp 10. I'd like to thank SF DEBRIS for this joke.

AAGGHH! How awful!! I hope you get it fixed soon. Nerve pain is no joke.

...Final Frontier and - weirdly - that was probably his best moment in the film series where he didn't have to scream or suffer as the butt of a joke. They just never laid the groundwork for Chekov to make his being captain work for me. But I would see him as advancing to a high level...

I can't see destruction just for the sake of destruction as "art". I do find characters like Khan, Dukat and Gul Mardred good since they contribute to a good story even if I don't find them likeable. yes it can in certain circumstances. But not the way it has been done too many times in Star...

The thing I don't get about season three - other than literally all of it - is that Worf is a "pacifist" and his intro scene shows him killing more people than he did in his entire seven-year run in TNG, in under ten seconds, in an extremely brutal way. I'm not even joking around, I actually...

...experiences life on Kataan...or does he experience what the Kataan natives wanted him to think life on Kataan was like? There's a long-running joke in anthropological studies that suggests that if human civilization went extinct today, then if aliens ever found Earth they might think Barbie...

I disagree. There are 20 good (or better) episodes in TOS S1 alone. Maybe more. The City on the Edge of Forever, Balance of Terror, The Corbomite Manuever, Where No Man Has Gone Before, The Menangerie Pts 1 & 2, The Devil in the Dark, This Side of Paradise, A Taste of Armageddon, Arena, The...

If they really liked it, it would have been produced and made it to theatres and P+. If they are such a stickler about Chris Pine, then why not recast Kirk with someone else. Like say Scarlett Johannson, or Margot Robbie, or Zendaya, or Jessica Chastain, or Emily Blunt? You’re telling me it...

It fits. A lot of LD is about seeming messups turning out to actually be competent and heroic when they get the chance to shine, or get over their issues enough to let themselves shine.

...him off. But instead, they have carefully hidden his fate post-Voyager, just to perpetuate their mean-spirited and unfunny "forever ensign" joke. Very true. And a dying character serves the narrative better than one with no purpose, and little chance at happiness. An example is Mullibok from...
